The book Atlas Obscura: An Explorer's Guide to the World's Hidden Wonders appeared
on the doorstep,
courtesy of Bunny.
I do have to wonder why she felt it necessary to give me that book to celebrate
the only time in
the history of the United States the country was not in debt,
back in 1835 thanks to President Andrew “I regret not killing that bastard Vice President Calhoun” Jackson.
It could be for other reasons,
but I can't be sure.
In any case,
it's a very cool book.
Where else could one learn about the Skunk Ape Research Headquarters in Ochopee, Florida?
Or the Lost Subway of Cincinnati, Ohio?
Lots of places to visit—oh!
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
