What a place

Couldnt imagine surveying back then

Yeah it's amazing what people accomplished back then considering the limited resources & technology

No doubt

I used to read survey notes back in AZ

Had to abandon survey, attacked by indians

Stuff like that

It really was the wild west

Not actually funny I guess, but crazy to think that's the kind of thing they had to worry about interrupting their progress.

It's also fascinating to me how really old structures, including downright ancient ones, still stand and are solid. Today nothing is built to last. Homes, appliances, clothing. People have extra freezers in their basement from the 50's that function fine, yet a new one won't make it 20 years!

True story

Many excellent points you have made

Everything is junk now

Nothing lasts

While we reflect

On better times...

I should add furniture. Most furniture today is shit. I had a bedroom dresser some years ago that was cool looking but literally started falling apart about 8 years in. When I replaced it, I bought an antique mid-century piece that is solid is a rock. I expect it to last until I die, lol. China cabinet is the same - built in the mid 50s and still gorgeous. Even has the original light inside that functions with a little pull chain. I hardly turn the light on because I'm not sure they still make the type of light bulb that goes in it anymore!

Same deal, my kitchen table is over a hundred years old, still gets the job done

Everything else in my house constantly breaks or is just plain junk

Have to buy a new recliner, it will orobably be junk

Thank you for your time and effort for the updates here in the EQ thread Kickin and Simple.

Had an asian gentleman looking sick as all can be ask me where the bathroom was at my grocery store, with snot hanging down from both his nostrils the other day lol I just smh.

Have seen just a couple people wearing masks. I'm more afraid of this being a scapegoat for stripping our rights away and furthering government control. I'm not sure what is going to happen. Can this virus really just go away? And everything be back to normal? I dunno. Part of me feels like it's gonna crash the entire world. Fear will, not the virus itself. But stil, people will be begging the government for help. Remember when Reagan said how aliens could unite all of humanity? I keep thinking of that with this virus. That a new world order could arise from the ashes of this panic if it goes sideways - under the guise of working together and rebuilding the planet. I'm not afraid. Just riding the wave.

Or maybe body surfing a tsunami is more appropriate under our current situation

Who knows what'll happen. I dont know shiiiiteee. Hope everyone had a great weekend. Miss you all

Indeed, MON. Indeed.

Hope all is going well with you this weekend, my friend!!!!

Hope you're good too my dude. I've just been working in ye ol' dairy at the store all weekend. In charge of ordering, cleaning, pulling off the truck, stocking. It's a 2 person job and they are milking me to do it alone and i'm getting paid jack shit. I just made full time and can finally get insurance. But i'm so burnt out i just wanna quit and get a new job lol

I suck at this whole staying loyal to my employer thingy hahah

Totally get ya. I turned in my two weeks notice on Friday after securing new employment (finally). Feels like the weight of the world is off my shoulders. Nothing ever seems to happen fast enough when you're burnt out and you hate the job, but you still have to perform as normal and expected like nothing ever happened.

I'm wishing you all the greatest and that something similar happens to you shortly!!!

Went to a beautiful state park on the beach the other day... check it out!!
