daddy, what’d the 1980′s look like?
it would appear someone’s about to shoot up
Dave Luzious and I went to the dump today. We tossed his old couch onto the cement floor and in the bay next to us random photos were scattered. We crouched down and sifted through. Dave took a prize home with him – a fox in lingerie, probably one of these guys’ lady. Even wearing a teddy you could tell it was mid 80′s. We grabbed up a few photos and had to get out of the way, the bucket loader came swooping through and pushed everything into a mashed up wet pile that was going to the big hole in Altamont they call the landfill.
“It’s crazy,” Dave said. “For 30 seconds you can see into a person’s whole life and then it’s swept away.”
I had grabbed up some letters as well before the heavy equipment ripped through. The most desperate/hopeful kind of letter too – a letter from prison with requests for the one on the outside to talk to parole officers and rehab heads, trying to get shifted out of lock down to a half way house.
Ya really couldn’t make this shit up.

Just did some quick stats checking on Gonic. Apparently you’re twice as likely to get raped there against the national average. Rochester was pretty high on that scale, as well, although their numbers have dropped since Jon left town (just kidding buddy!).

getting asked to leave the Lilac City was a low moment. I was a high school graduate and I think that was threatening.

That’s another statistic that jumped out at me! It’s hard to separate Gonic from Rochester in these numbers because they seem to share a zip code but there was close to 300 people in the town that had NO HIGH SCHOOL EDUCATION at all. Maybe these are some real old farts but I have to think it’s pretty hard to not go to high school at all…
