Looks like a Walmart parking lot.

Which begs the question..."Who's Maid Marion?"
And who here remembers the answer?

Don't remember but it sounds like a line from "Robin Hood, Men In Tights".

Possibly the daughter of the "Swamp Fox", who reportedly had 7 children. Guess he didn't spend all his time hangin' out in the swamp!

I think the answer is "Everyone" but I'm not sure.

Rowan & Martin..."I have"

And these are the people voting for a President. Scary isn't it. Or maybe they were trying to be cute with abbreviated and incorrect spelling.

Scarier yet - they breed.

Today while driving in south NJ. A tin foil hat billboard caught my eye. I tried to to get a photo but no luck. Anyway this link will give a good idea about the billboard. http://byebyebluesky.com/

Well everybody knows about that stuff that is put in our skies.
I just learned recently that the demise of outhouses is behind many of the diseases we have have today that weren't around when we had outhouses.
Do NOT ask me to explain that . My reaction was like . I was speechless.

I'm going to take a leap here and venture forth with the suggestion that perhaps having human waste assimilated into the ground was better than having it flushed into the waterways and oceans. For example, every so often, in the NYC - NJ area, a whole load of sewage from NYC will have collected into a mass, underwater, which detaches itself, at some point, and heads towards the beaches of NJ, via currents, esp. if there has been a storm. I can recall the shock I had when being told this in the news about beeches being closed occasionally back in the 70's. I don't know if it still happens.

I wonder (at times) how the weather/atmosphere is in India, where they still have outhouses (I've seem them in movies where they were featured), of a sort, and seem to dump absolutely everything into the Ganges, including the ashes of he dead, the washing of livestock and themselves, and then include the drinking of the water (?) Is the air cleaner there?

Just about every great city of the world was established at a river's edge or ocean/sea shoreline. (Ever notice that? Name a great city and see if right away you see a river there, too, in your recollection.) It is interesting to consider how each of those cities has utilized and/or abused its river. IMO.

True for Tucson.
"Hot, dusty Tucson was founded in a lush river valley."

Interesting! I did not know that. Thanx for the unique input, sir.

Murph,

YOU came from one of those towns, Pittsburgh.

[Tom Dempsey]

I think somebody here is talking sh*t!

Murph,

That's for sure. Pittsburgh, a land of numerous rivers and river communities, such as those along the Monongahela, Allegheny, and Youghiogheny rivers. Those big and deep waterways were omnipresent in our lives, since they were life-bloods to our steel mills.
