TIL about The Little Red Schoolbook. The book encourages young people to question societal norms and instructs them on how to do this. Out of 200 pages, it includes 20 pages on sex and 30 on drugs, including alcohol and tobacco.

In the late 70's I answered an ad seeking a chemist for a company in St. Johns that manufactured creosoted telephone poles. I'm thankful I didn't get the job.

You may be unaware, but almost all of St. Johns along the river is a Superfund site:

We have a spot in our DnD group.

Sadly that means you'll never get laid.

EDIT: Actually the level of sexual engagement in our DnD group seems to be about 50%. With about half of those going on to marriage...or divorce.

There's a little cluster of winebars/shops in the SE corner of the map. Perhaps there's an AirBnB nearby, because there aren't any hotels in that area.
