accustomed too, either.

Is that on the East River? I lived in Queens one summer.
Spent more than one afternoon in a park there tripping on acid,
watching the tide come in, and watching it go away again.
Besides that, I remember Ditmars Ave. and O'Leary's Tap.
Oh, I think LaGuardia Airport was across the river, or maybe it was a
spaceport. It's all a little hazy.

Sounds somewhat like my recollection of Woodstock in '69...(c;

Anyone who actually "remembers" Woodstock must have been a cop or first
responder....or wasn't there.

It was probably best. I was 23. A few of us took leave from the Navy to
attend....

....none of us told them, of course, where we were going!
