I wasn't a NY resident until after 1975.
In 75 I was busy being born in Ohio.


Unless it is a prenatal instigation..

Probably reincarnated after drowning in the flash flood that you caused. :-)

What do you do now?
Turn handle, explore tunnel further, , or climb the ladder?
C:\ Turn Handle

You turn the handle and are somewhat perplexed by the sound of rumbling further up the tunnel.
Suddenly there is water everywhere!
You reach for the ladder but it is out of reach!
Your last thoughts just before you black out are, "Crud! Crud! Crud! Crud!"
You are dead.
Do you want to retry, restart, or load last saved position?

We're getting lots of rain. The pup grows a few inches everyday it seems. We are planning for fall and Christmas at the store, praying to sell lots of stuff so we can pay the rent. ;-)

Flash flood in a water and sewer tunnel.
Somebody had a major clog in their pipes somewhere.

Directly below us were two fishing boats out in the middle of the river. The men on board them were laughing and having a high old time. Carl winked at Dave and I. "Watch this." he said. Then he began playing 'Dueling Banjos' from the film Deliverance. Dave joined in on the ansering stanzas. Upon hearing this tune ringing out from the trees above them the fishermen got to their oars and quickly moved downstream and away from the unseen hillbillies in the forest. We all got a good laugh at that.

ROFLMAO! That's hilarious.

1659 Peter Stuyvesant of New Netherlands forbids tennis playing during religious services

I'll bet watching parishoner's heads turning back and forth while the ball is lobbed over the chancel rail could get distracting.

Realizing my frailty Carl had thoughtfully put an inflatable mattress in the bed of the pickup for me to sleep upon should I desire to. I did.

Was that an official Civil War inflatable mattress?
Now granted I'm no expert on the War BetweenThe States, but I don't recall ever reading about them....strange.





I REALLY enjoyed reading of your exploits.
