RE: Dear Skimmers, I Know What You’re Thinking: “Dang, Dan! You Really Made Me Work My Arse Off On This One.”

You know you smashed another comment homerun here, right? You’re such a major leaguer! 😉 Good morning from Leeds, UK (home to The Beatles), my favorite New Yorker! Thank you for this comment.

Yeah, we definitely crammed a lot in during those 2 days in NYC—we both had a great time. It was go-go-go which means we fit right in. Not a soul around there who isn’t on a mission with somewhere to be. You know what man? There’s more junkies on the streets of Manhattan than anywhere I’ve seen, sir, it’s heartbreaking. And I’m from LA, Pura is from San Francisco so I’m pretty sure I’ve had equal opportunities to witness the aftermath of those drugs, the streets there in Manhattan are pretty disturbing. Do you agree? Have you been there recently?

The smart fart kid. Haha! I know you have more stories than me but kids say the greatest stuff!

That’s really neat you guys were the ones to install the roof, this comment of yours is nothing shy of an article, in case I haven’t told you lately, I’m glad we met. 👍🏿

That’s crazy about the pissing. My career consisted a lot of designing power grids, erecting tower cranes and control circuits for tower cranes so I’m very familiar with staying hundreds of feet in the air all day—you do what you have to do and it’s absolitely common to piss in bottles, hoist the bucket down for the other, it’s normal. Never in my life have I so much as heard of someone pissing off the side of a tower. But on the Statue of Liberty?! Dude that really makes me want to drop the F wOrd right here—punks!

True story: Even as we were sailing around her, even looking at the pictures prior to this article, I asked Pura several times, “is there lights shining at it?” ...”I don’t remember seeing any lighting glowing in the day time.. How/why is it glowing like that?” It wasn’t until I did this article I learned it’s made entirely out of copper—now I get it! 👍🏿

My pleasure listing the sound track—I’m glad you appreciated it. Yeah, gin & juice, ha!! I’d never heard that one either. Even when I was researching it for this article, Pura said “no way! Garth Brooks?!” Laugh out loud!

It’s always a pleasure hearing from you, sir, thanks a lot for keeping an eye on us.

Thanks for stopping by @thebigsweed. We’re 5 hours ahead of you, you’re probably sleeping, hopefully I’ll see you at #fff later on.

Good morning. Yeah, the War on Drugs and Just say No don't seem to have worked. So many junkies, and from so many walks of life. Everyone knows at least one person that has died from overdosing. My sons have lost two of their very best friends from getting hooked on prescription drugs, ordered by doctors due to injuries.

I believe the big pharm companies are the biggest pushers of all, and do it with the blessings of society. That seems to be changing as they are now being held somewhat accountable.
Leeds UK, home of the Beetles, must be some very interesting stuff to see there.
Big day at the farm today. We finally got several days of no rain, and my wife's cousin has cut the hay and it will be an all out assault to get the hay in the barn before it rains later today. Should be about 500 bails.
#fff is on the list as I start to ramp up my participation again on steemit. laid low while on vacation, and am excited to start posting again. Got some good material that I think people may enjoy.
Talk soon and let the wife know we are also thinking of her!
