A MONUMENT TO 10 YEAR OLD MALE THINKING

So this is something two friends and I did a LONG time ago. We must not have been more than 10 at the time. That in it's self shows how times have changed as this is 3/4 of a mile from where we lived at the time and if you let your kids wonder that far now alone - the cops show up.

Anyways the guy who had just finished smoothing it out actually told us we could do it. Something else you would not see today I'm sure.

You can easily see mine at the top, but the other 2 are worse for wear. At the bottom our paranoid friend was sure the cops would show up at his door any moment if he put his actual initials, so he put them upside down and backwards. Sigh. Not like he was the only person EVER to live here with his initials or anything, but ya know.

Cut 39 years later, I was shocked it was still there at all. This is the entry way to a very used ally way. I thought it would have worn off a hell of a long time ago as none of us went that deep.

Best thing is I bet almost no one ever noticed it. I only saw it because I looked for it. I just happened to be in that spot at the time and took the shot. This is several years after that and no idea if it's been replaced by now or not, but who knows - maybe it will out live me.

As for those friends, one is dead and I no longer talk to the other one - have not for a few years now.

If I had the ability to know how I would think in the future, I'd never have done this in the first place. But there it is a shining monument to 10 year old male thinking.

HOW TO FIX BLOGGER FROM DOUBLE SPACING LINES OF TEXT

Image
When you click on the editor to type text, it changes to "Paragraph" instead of "Normal". This causes there to be a double space between lines. If your trying to do a list, this is a serious piss off. So you have to click where it now says "Paragraph" and set it back to "Normal". I've had it a couple times not stay, and had to select all then set it to Normal again. As well it puts in a leading space (indentation of 1 space) you may want to delete as well, or your list won't look quite right at the top. It used to stay where you put it, but now it just up and changes it to Paragraph for literally no reason - even if you first set it to Normal - you click and POOF it changes.

YEAH THAT'S NOT A SCAM, I'LL EMAIL YOU RIGHT AWAY LOL

 The anatomy of a scam. This is the exact format I've seen several times on other people's videos on YouTube (in the comments). See if you went to my channel the latest video would be at the top of the list and this was on an older one. There is literally an email link in my profile on YouTube and it was not used (even if it was I'd not fall for this crap). They use the words "your family" to make you react emotionally. You have thoughts like "Is someone hurt or in trouble"? This is almost always a way to try and get "money to your family member in need". Or it's a way to get information out of you. Sometimes it's a long lost relative you never freaking heard of leaving you money. There will always be a fee you need to pay for the legal matters to be cleared up and you to get the money. SCAM. It's interesting I've seen so many people reaching out on YouTube to people about "their family" this few months.
