800-900 a week doesn't seem like much at all, especially when they include taxes. But, wen I was younger, maybe for the experience.
However, there is nothing that stands out for this job over a regular job. And you're away from your family, and not even making a good living to send home. Sounds like a shitty federal government job.
900 dollars (post Taxed)a month for a year, with NO rent and no Food expenses?..The only chance to spend any real cash is When you get whatever time off they allow, Ie: going back to civilization for 2 weeks during the year I believe, you have recreation > x country sking , snowshoeing and sleding and snowmobiling are not recreational, they are part of existance... I would also state that VERSION 3 of the movie is slated to be released.. this month...
I really dont have any reason to put myself in jeopardy by going, either Seth, BUT had the chance popped up in 1977 I might have gone.. sometimes young folks Like a structured way to forget about..insert whatever here...

TO any of you guys who frequent the antique apparatus and fleamarket auction type events down the eastern seaboard....
A matching pair of ornate hand lanterns were recently stolen from their storage box at the Fire Museum in Manchester, CT. The lanterns are 2 of 7 matching antiques that belong to an ornate parade hose cart.
These lanterns date back to a parade wagon purchased in 1882 by Crescent Hose Company #2. The parade wagon is currently on loan to the Connecticut Fireman's Historical Society. Obviously, no one from the museum has any "RIGHT" to sell such an item, these are some of hundreds of items ON Loan from all over, OBviously missing 2 of a matched ornate set Ruined the set.. the where abouts are totally Unknown.. except to he who "made them go away"... should anyone come across 1 or 2 of the lanterns as seen In the attached JPeg please contact Manchester PD, IF you feel you need to write me and I will get your phone call payed for I dont care....
The Manchester Police Department has several leads, but are still investigating. They can be reached at 860-645-5544
AS I understand, The PD has a person of interest in custody and obviously charges will follow but the big issue is to try to find and return these two items to the Company and hose wagon that they have been attached to for 120 odd years... I will do my best also to update this should they be found and whatever I can find out about the SOB that stole them Thanks for taking a minute to read this hope we can find them.... ( I am not affiliated with either the museum or the lending Company, by the way I would do the same IF I heard something from your place got wacked....
IF you LOOK at the photos the Last shows the Hose Wagon with 5 lanterns circled 1 center front and i each corner.. The 2 Stolen ones are exactly the same as the one in the Black & white orginal Post with the ring style handle 2 & 3 show true colors Nickle plated and etched glass better again, Hope they turn up in good condition

I think this soldier deserves more consideration from our membership, so I just want to point out here on the board, that Mr. Buckles was THE LAST American left on this earth to have served in World War I. Maybe we'll get more clicks on the article and more comments.
We as a nation have gone so far from the dark days of the early twentieth century when our countrymen experienced so much hardship. From incomprehensible casualties and the cruelty of chemical weapons and trench warfare that was the horror of World War I, to terrible times back here in the Motherland of a collapsed economy, and people migrating all over through "The Grapes of Wrath", homeless and hungry until they reached a soup kitchen.
110 years for Mr. Buckles. He witnessed all of the twentieth century, served our country, and became a symbol of the gallant and brave young men America sent overseas to fight and die for a better world.
Rest in Peace Sir, you earned it many many decades ago.
Sadly, you cannot "force anyone, in this country, these Days to Understand" the type of respect and adulation this man deserves, while he lied about his age to get into the military it was Commonplace going back in history to do so. Imagine when he left home he most likley saw his 1st Motor car after getting into the army, and seeing in his lifetime everything horses as transport to the journey to Moon.. What a life, what wonderous things he and his generation saw, and how certain things must have made him ill... Rest in Peace Mr. Buckles
