Woonsocket being an old mill town and all, I mean. My grandmother could remember people used to drink from the spring there, but it is pretty unsanitary looking now. But 100 years ago? I'm sure they did!

I think it was probably like a WPA project from the Depression. There's an old concrete bandstand with concrete seating, within sight of an old mill or factory, and I said to my wife, "I bet workers came over here for jazz concerts at the park in the 1930s after work on a Friday night."

Loved it when I was a little kid (40+ years ago) - my kids had fun at the playground, but its better in summertime. Lots of broken fragments of plastic sleds from this winter, right now . . . Anyway, the stonework around the cold spring itself is cool!

Note:
Our counterterrorism apparatus has been totally hollowed out.

Now we're at war with a country that has a history of terrorist attacks across much of the world.

We're going to have a terrorist attack.
THIS TIME, we cannot allow a PATRIOT act 2.0.

We don’t need talkers right now. We need fighters.

And no matter how many times they knock me down, I’ll get back up and fight with you. Every. Single. Time.

The next Night, Maus, and Diary of Anne Frank are all gonna come from Donald Trump's ICE concentration camps.

And MAGA is perfectly okay with that.

Screenshot of an X post by Senator Tom Cotton saying Iran has been an imminent threat to the United States for 47 years and that the president was right to act. Below is a Fox News segment with Cotton speaking while footage labeled “U.S. Central Command – Unclassified” shows a strike.

“Imminent.” You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

A couple things…

The “conflict“ in Iran *IS* a war.
It is a war of choice.
It is warfare without conscious.
It was unprovoked.

And I’m sick and tired of people suggesting & implying the only tragedies herein are that US Service Members have died. The people of Iran are innocents in this conflict!
