Let's see, 100 years ago would have been 1925 during the Jazz Age |
|
between World War 1 and the Great Depression. The Interstate |
|
freeway system had not been built yet. The general population still |
|
had enthusiasm for public transportation and were supporting train |
|
and trolley systems. Wide scale local agriculture was still a thing. |
|
Skinny dipping in public swimming pools wasn't just the norm, it was |
|
often required. |

> What's the best book you've read so far this year? |
|
|
|
The best book i've read so far is Arboreality by Rebecca Campbell. |
|
It's a collapsnik book that somehow manages to be cozy, peaceful, |
|
and optimistic. It's a quick read and it has "replay value", |
|
meaning that it has enough depth to be worth reading again. |

Nice reversal there. My problem with answering this question would |
|
be a reluctance to interfere with another person's freedom. I can |
|
resolve this by answering that i would like to have my younger self |
|
call me. I would advise him to listen to my present perspective and |
|
then do with it as he sees fit. |
