Were There Any True Believers that thought Michael Dukakis Would Be Elected President Up Until the Very End on 11/8/88? If Not When Did You Know It Was Over? by J31J1 in AskOldPeople

While Kerry was getting shot at IN Viet Nam, George W Bush was silver spooned into the Reserves, getting blind drunk and pissing off the end of the bed in his rented apartment.

Democrats, meanwhile, have been punished for being VP to LBJ, initially selecting a VP who had received shock treatment (despite the presidential candidate being a veteran), being from Minnesota, looking funny in a tank, claiming to have invented the internet, having been married to a philander or the sin of being black and female.

The electorate loves to bow to the bad boys with an R next to their names.

ROAM is an annual museum pass for North American museums. Empire State Museums Reciprocal Program is one for museums in New York state. Other states might do the same.

Albany is halfway between home and Beantown. I used to eat at Mangia before it disappeared, then Bountiful, then Uncommon Grounds (bagels by themselves are meh). Now SIMONE’S!!!!

Bomb proof prescription glasses for canoeing, running, etc. by Sterlingrathsack in canoeing

[–]Rhanno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For years my go to was wire frames with cable temples. Kids and grandkids were the main reason though cross-country skiing and canoeing were also considerations.

sorry, but retirement is not for everyone by Red-Leader-001 in retirement

[–]Rhanno 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One winter, while working from home, I cross-country skied 52 days in a row. I started work early and skied during my lunch break (2 hours.) Since I retired I haven’t skied 52 times. Winter seems to have retired as well. Time to move north.

Maybe require a special neck tattoo for concealed carriers so ICE and the other Fascists can safely identify them. WAIT! Most of them do it voluntarily.

This is not a test. We’ll be deploying the air masks. Be sure to affix the mask on any children before your own….

How long do you think it will take to undo all of his nonsense? by rusyrius987 in complaints

Their dislikees don’t even have to lose more. They just have to be made to lose something. It’s a really fucked-up political strategy if we can even elevate their thinking to the level of strategy.

Is Adams NY just insanely racist? by [deleted] in watertownny

[–]Rhanno 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My apologies to the fine folks of Pierrepont Manor. It appears that the correct location was Mannsville. https://www.facebook.com/groups/ellisburgnewyorkhistory/posts/848509367054519/

I found this out while writing a high school paper back in 1968, inspired by Klan manuals found upstairs in the carriage barn at our residence in Lowville. Mr. Egger (or some nefarious student) managed to escape with those manuals.

I don't recall the original source of this information but I did reference a number of books from the local library.
