Dayum. Might be dreaming/de ja vu (likely in lurk mode, with the
occasional post under a different nom de plume in those days) but I do
believe I remember that original post.

How time does not stand still ...


With all due respect to Ian Anderson, as long as we're Living In The Past....

Back in the late 70's I hung out at a club on Long Island (NY) that used to be a bowling alley. The owners were DIY kind of guys and they cut up many the old lanes into various lengths and turned them into tables and bars. Small squares for an intimate group, long lengths for parties (and the bars). If I recall correctly, the tables were pretty darn heavy.

......

Once I used to join in
every boy and girl was my friend.
Now there's revolution, but they don't know
what they're fighting.

Hmmm...maybe we're not really Living In The Past
