Lord Liaden Posted July 14, 2021 Report Share Posted July 14, 2021 5 hours ago, L. Marcus said: Yeah. It always amuses me when I read how Lovecraft describes his beloved Providence as "ancient". We just celebrated this little town of ours and its 400th anniversary of receiving city privileges from Gustavus II Adolphus. To be fair, Lovecraft is also accounting for Providence's Native American heritage, which goes back millennia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In his letters? From the top of my head I can only recall one story he wrote where Native Americans played any major part, and that was set in Manhattan.

Reminds me when a tree next door was blown over and we saw the whole root system as it brought up the yard with it. Just sights of nature you just don't expect to see.

Logan D. Hurricanes Posted July 14, 2021 Report Share Posted July 14, 2021 The toilet serves a remote weather station at Kara-Tyurek in the Altai Mountains and is is perched on a cliff 2,600 metres above sea level. People have been using the precarious potty since 1939, in the region with a name which translates as Black Heart in South Altayan language. A recent survey of unusual toilets around the world found the Altai privvy to be the number one most extreme toilet. Cygnia 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
