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

[ to to revive a time honored theme here]
i took the 'long walk' today
maybe a mile + a few 100 yards
took me 1 hour and 20 minutes
[back in  the day i once ran a mile, a relay split in 4:10 ]
[ 0f course that day was 40 some odd years ago]
of course i wasn't shopping and the several conversations i had with clerks, and assistant managers
i needed bananas
frankly i hate bananas......the taste is bland......the texture is discussing, but the nutrition benefits need i say more......

lets get this straight, if we disagree on virtually anything.........and you met me in a intellectual old west  shoot out.............you better be ready........it is what i do..........i am the debate top gun..........or rather i am a devil's advocate, google it if a term you don't know.........
don't get me wrong.......i might actually agree with you........but i want to know if you can support your position.......don't assume if i attack your position that i disagree with it...........show me you can prove it

i know i've been gone for awhile............major reason was my laptop died.......the second one iv'e killed in about 2 years..........decided to take a break from the net for a spell.........and then there was a hassle first unit i bought was defective and took some time for the replacement to arrive.......obviously it has......but i've sworn off laptops............got an all in one desktop that runs chrome-os............but on the topic of laptops i  have resolved that if i ever get another, it will be the kind that purrs and from  time hiss at me if i forget to buy it's fav tuna snack.........
as to an additional reason for my absence.......i had what has become a traditional bout  with my arthritis in December.......
i've often  said" The young man who had this body thought it was indestructible , the old man who now inhabits it knows he was an idiot"
