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

i spent the majority of the day with my butt in the seat of a forklift, not the most comfortable seating, it's designed for protection and vision not comfort, it's particularly hard on the legs because both feet have to be i relatively static positions to work the 3 foot pedals, plus beacuse of the gear shift on the right + the 3 control levers for the mast control you are in a rather fixed position, on top of which part of the time i was loading scrap bails, 6'x4'x3' blocks of compressed plastic scrap that weight about 1350 lbs. a piece and you generally handle two at a time, they tend to have a mind of their own and since some of the material has been thru a water test process the flour under them is wet which makes traction a relative term, actually it only took me an hour and a quarter to load 31 of them which is actually a good time, i've had the banding brake on them before and that is a real mess, but just a hectic day......have taken it easy tonight....hope to get in some golf tomorrow.......
