So everyone has to ruin Lynne's fun today, huh? >:-P

Shawn, Pataki is the Governor of New York.

Pataki is leader of small tribe of people called "Noo Yorr Kurrs." Very savage tribe. Live in tall stone buildings near ocean. Rarely smile or make eye contact. Watch your wallet and small children if you have need to go out that way. Few have returned to tell the tales, but the tales those few do tell would make a brave man shiver . . . . =8-o

LISA,
Is that a person?

LISA,
What does pataki mean?
I'd be interested to know.

IF THESE WALLS COULD TALK. REMEMBER MENTAL ILLNESS IS THE CRUELIST DISEASE THERE IS. PEOPLE DIDNT UNDERSTAND IT AND TRAETED THESE PEOPLE HORRIBLY. AND NOW 100S OF YEARS LATER. PATAKI IS KILLING THEM ALL OVER AGAIN.

THIS LOOKS ALOT LIKE THE BUILDING I LIVED IN WHICH IS A COMMUNITY RESIDENCE FOR PEOPLE WITH MENTAL ILLNESS. I WONDER WHAT NUMBER BUILDING THIS IS.THERE IS FOUR BUILDINGS LIKE THIS IN A CIRCLE. BUILDING 70 IS THE MOST MODEREN BUILDING ON THE GROUNDS . WHEN YOUR IN THERE YOU WOULD NEVER KNOW YOU ARE AT PILGRAM

Great picture, wonderful lighting!! The snow and the sky seem to be the same color. I love the architecture -- the rounded windows. What a shame!!

I LIVED IN BUILDING 70 AFTER IT WAS RE DONE. I USED TO WALK UP TO THE ABANDONED BUILDINGS AND WAS AMAZED. THERES BARS ON THE WINDOWS AND LOOKED REAL SCARY.MY SON AND I SWORE WE HEARD SCREAMS AND VOICES AS WE CAME CLOSE TO THE ENTRANCE.

They were preparing for the next zombie take-over! Better have plenty of brains to hand out to them!

From under my bed, they kept brains in a jar because they ran out of skull casings, and what the hell does one do to keep the slippery little suckers from disapearing under the table.

wow why would they kept brains in jars though

To extend on Neefer's comment, it must've been less than your body temperature in the room, even if it was hot and humid. If that tub were hotter in temperature than your skin, you'd get the opposite effect. There is definitely nothing that magically keeps it at a different temperature than the rest of the room.

Maybe I'm old, but it wasn't that long ago that I remember seeing those machines, and I'm 29, not 59. In rural areas, we held on to those machines longer - I guess because some individuals could swindle them away from the distributors (who supply the machine, but you buy the soda at their price - presumably more than it would cost to get it at the grocery store). I remember seeing machines like this at local low-budget golf courses, etc. until the early 90s, and you can tell they got away from the distributors, just by the fact that there will be a pepsi machine with nothing but coke in it.

As far as getting anything out of it, it looks like the door is open, and it's probably been emptied.

It blows me away that all of those chains are left there. I know a lot of folks who could make good use of them - farmers, loggers, etc. who would pay better than scrap for them so they don't have to go buy new manufactured items and get reamed.
