Life's weird.

Next time you are out my way, drop me a line.

Where exactly ARE you, anyway? :-) I know you're Northeast of Yonkers, but
beyond that.....???

NE corner of CT, but I'm not that far by road from anywhere.

Near Storrs?


About 25 miles SW of me.

All the best,

Tom

Damn...I didn't think anyone actually lived in Tolland.


Tolland would be north of Storrs. I live in Woodstock.

I attended a "summer school" at Storrs between my junior and senior
years of high school. Stayed in one of a series of connected dorms
running up the side of a hill, Hartford Hall, I think. The cafeteria was
way up at the top, and it took forever to get there. So we ate at a
joint across the street called Freds. The best part of Storrs was a
UConn dairy facility where they served up great ice cream and sodas.
Storrs was dry back then. We improvised with OJ and terpin hydrate.
Why was I there. Some sort of statewide "civics" course that four lucky
winners from each public hs won...or some such silliness. It was for
three weeks. Pretty campus.


The creamery is still there and in the summer is still quite the
attraction.

And the campus has changed somewhat since you were there, but it still
is considered a beautiful campus.

Later,

Tom

Is it a dry county? And, can ya get there from here? :-)


No - it's a dry town.

And yes, you can get there from here - or here from there.

Tom

Heck yeah, there was a German sub sunk at the mouth of the Potomac River!



There is one sunk off of Newport which was a scuttle after being
attacked on the surface by the CG and another out by The Dump that is
a confirmed Uboat, but they don't have the documentation on it.


Is that the one the private divers discovered and researched? Show on PBS
one time about it.


Yes - they can't figure out which U boat it is. It could be one of
seven different boats.

It has also entered the Hitler lore as a possible treasure ship, much
like U-853 off Block Island.

Storrs was "dry" the three weeks I spent there the summer after my
junior year of high school. By now, surely, it has changed. Even Kansas
sells booze by the drink.



I'm not sure about that. The county in which the campus was located was
not dry...just Storrs. And in those days, Storrs consisted of UConn and
a couple of stores on a little road.


Still is.

I'm speaking to "dry cities, counties, states - in general. And to Blue
laws etc etc.

When viewed through the filter of time, it looks like an

Of course, the idea was to learn from history, not judge history. We
are
a good people, who have occasionally done bad things. Japanese
internment
was a bad thing.


As a nation, we've done lots of good things and lots of bad things.
Considering the large number of the latter, we ought to be more
cautious
when we're undertaking "things" that will harm people. As an example,
there's no legitimate excuse or justification for what we did to the
native Americans. We destroyed their civilizations.


I don't see you offering up your land as restitution......

Dave


What a stupid remark.


Put your money where your mouth is.

Dave


It is up to the government of the United States to make proper
restitution to the descendents of those native Americans who were tossed
off their lands or slaughtered or both. It was formalized government
policy that cause the removals and slaughter.


If it were up to me, I'd give native Americans the titles to Texas,
Alabama, Mississippi, North and South Dakota and Missouri.

Sorry, but I find your views so backwards and bizarre, I see no reason
for further discussion.

No, stupid. I was using THEIR yard.
