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

it's been an interesting day, and it's not half over:
i went to work figuring i'd be out in an hour, but as often happens it didn't turn out that way, they had posted a new production schedule which made a big difference in my order schedule so i ran over to the whse for 5 minutes to check on one of the raw material inventories and discovered i had a major problem. we get plastic resin 1100 lbs. to the box, set on pallets and stacked 3 high. well 3 of the bottom boxes had started to collapse,and i had 3 leaning stacks, fortunately all 3 were leaning to the left and to had rested on the material in the next row, if they had leaned the other way they probably would have fallen, which would have been a real mess, got everything made right but ended up spending about 3 hours at work.....
i filled the car up with gas today, with the gas economy of my car and the fact i really don't drive very many miles per week i only fillup made every 2 1/2 weeks. but i paid $2.09.9 per gallon for gas. what a shock. about 40 years ago when i was in my teens i'd cut grass for money in the summer time, i'd buy gas by the gallon and get change from a quarter....
i took a run down to adams center to go to a fruit stand, get some fresh veggies...which is weird, when i first came to watertown there were probably 5 fruit/veggie stand right in the city, now i've got to drive 15+ miles.....oh for the old days
