They Tweeted the correction right away. Before you did.😜 Yeah... Could be confusing. Seneca Street does go under I90 just South of The400... BUT there's no exit there. When they said Exit 3, it gave away the right location. FWIW. Don't accuse me of being a WKBW defender. 😏

Cool! They will be able to flood it and hold naval battle reenactments on the off weeks! 😏

Mostly saying: "Hooray for my side." ?? 😏

You caught it before my edit! You're quick. Meant to say: finger. Pretty deep slip on my part. How many underage females had sex, maybe even got pregnant, and then married. Still, back in the day... Very few options afforded females besides marrying and being a housewife. Of course, don't be foolish... They were looking on campus. 😏

NormaliZED. People weren't in a vacuum. Most husbands older than wives, but not always. My MiL graduated HS in 1954. Every female had a ring on their finger except my MiL and 3 others... EDIT: Wow... Hope nobody caught my Freudian edit! 😆

Oh sure it was, even more then! Of course this is a fictional scene, but it draws on some twisted reality. "Animal House" (1978) about college life in early 1960s? IIRC, the script had her under 18. You're grandfathered in. 😉

Anybody under 21 (most jurisdictions) is a minor when it comes to drinking, gambling, etc... Colleges loaded with them. Anybody drinking @ that party under 21 was illegally doing so.

Huh? 😆 Drinking age was 18.

Take care... Get well! Our neighbor had it (throat cancer) and responded well to treatment.

But how much were you making an hour? Like people complaining about gasoline. Gasoline was $0.20/gallon in 1937. Adjusted for inflation today, that's $4.11 a gallon. $0.19/gallon, just a penny less is: $3.91. https://www.usinflationcalculator.com $15/hour in 2022 is $8.72 in Y2K, 2000.

Strange how we go around in circles. The new normal is the old abnormal. What really is normal? It's just a made up construct to fit the times and group.

Ain't we all...

Boy... Caught me oughtta left field on this one! WHO doesn't like pot or groupies? 😉 Jeesh, everyone is offended.

When you gonna break it too him there's no pot and groupies involved? Better to be wise and wait till after he moves the ***** load of equipment you have. 😏

That would suck if they removed it and then had The Falls fall 1/2 the distance, forming more like ***** rapids... ... Guys like @BringBackFergy would no doubt blame the Corps of Engineers! The USACE's "gift to the people." 😏

Never! 🤨 That's unAmerican!

23,000 years. My bad. Falls will disappear into Lake Erie. https://www.niagarafallstourism.com/blog/will-niagara-falls-disappear-some-day/ To OP, better see it soon, before it disappears! 😉 https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/de214751bc1644e4bbd4b6b0ba63f5ae https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-happens-when-niagra-falls-reaches-lake-erie/598171

Decorum! 😉

Yeah. I never heard of the bridges till you mentioned it... But I heard about cleaning those rocks up at base of Falls. I can't remember if they did... It would be a hell of a task with water flowing... UNLESS they drawed down river and sent it to the the power plant(s) and cleaned it that way. ??? I know they were making a big deal about how the rocks were looking and not doing justice aesthetically to the view. Anyway... In about 10,000 years The Falls will just be bigger rapids in front of Buffalo 8 miles upstream. And supposedly when it breaches the mouth of Lake Erie @ Buffalo/Fort Erie, that's when Lake Huron and Lake Michigan will instantly drop 150 feet! 😆....I'd like to see that!!! 😉

[I SOOOO desperately want to be a wise-ass here, but I will bite my tongue 😜😉]

Yeah... I heard something. Did they clean up the talus slope at base of Falls another way too? I guess it was really blocking things and not making it look good.

Ever see The Falls shut off? It really ain't that complicated or expensive. Well the American Side that is. Lot of water is diverted for power around The Falls. Underground culverts on American side and open on Canadian. A cofferdam across the American does trick and sends water to go over Horseshoe Falls (Canadian) https://niagarafallsupclose.com/niagara-falls-shut-off/ Building the cofferdam with stone. It's not very deep, especially over the precipice: From 1969. I thought they were supposed to do it again soon... To clean up the talus at the base of the American Falls in order to create a better aesthetic...

Bills should get first dibs! Or a pick... 😉

With my eyes. (Sorry to channel my inner dad) 😏

Wow! What if someone was packing heat. Yikes... 😬😬
