Watertown, NY, USA . "Public Square" (vintage, date unknown) but the monument is honoring veterans of the American Civil War so the date of the image is late 1800s

easter morning, have a cup of coffee on the desk but haven't turned any music on....but must be out of the house in a half so probably won't bother....will be gone most of the day...have a church service and then dinner at my daughter's and then if the weather holds golf this afternoon.....a random thought just crossed my mind, ok...ok.. there are those who would tell you that that's the only thoughts that i have,totally random. and that even those are not common ( i hate to have said it before you got a chance to put that in a tag macelf but there you go)....where was i oh yah...but i digress ( and no khai that is not my middle name).....i digress still....when i was a boy we lived in an area out side of buffalo, about 20 miles east of the city line, it had been in years past been mostly dairy farms, and most of the farmers were owned by german emigrants.....but in the early 50's there were a lot of slavics mostly polish who moved out of the city into the rural areas looking for land to raise childern and gardens....not necessarily in that order....but the key thing here is the oddity of the speak of the area.......for example one of the older farmers would never say come over tomorrow "morning"...it was always tomorrow "in the forenoon".......it just struck me how much things have changed in the world around me in the 50 some years that encompass my association with it, and in reality how nothing has changed....in many ways i believe that technology...all the new toys...only changes the way we do things......it really doesn't change what we do
