  1. There were many unresolved arguments about a 5th face on Rushmore. There was a strong suffragette movement to add Susan B. Anthony. In March, 1941, as a final dedication was being planned, Gutzon Borglum died. This fact, along with the impending American involvement in World War II, led to the end of the work on the mountain. The sculpture at Mount Rushmore is built on land that was illegally taken from the Sioux Nation in the 1870s. The Sioux continue to demand return of the land, and in 1980 the US Supreme Court ruled in United States v. Sioux Nation of Indians that the Black Hills were stolen and awarded $102 million in compensation. The Sioux have refused the money and demanded return of the land. This conflict continues into the present day
  2. “Jedi do not fight for peace. That's only a slogan, and is as misleading as slogans always are. Jedi fight for civilization, because only civilization creates peace. We fight for justice because justice is the fundamental bedrock of civilization: an unjust civilization is built upon sand. Mace Windu

  9. One of the few games I ever left early - we were wet everywhere
  10. Too many jobs to remember - but the first High school book store - selling pencils etc. After school - 12 Corners Plaza in Brighton - washing all the windows - end to end - and then again - a never ending job but a lot of perks! 85 cents/hour
  11. Did it speed up the game?
  12. Time to check out some of Buffalo's finest https://stepoutbuffalo.com/best-dive-bars-in-buffalo-wny/

  15. "On my first day of mini-camp, Buffalo Bills coach Marv Levy came up to me and knew my name and all my stats. He was the head coach and he knew everything about me." (Levy had coached in the Canadian Football League for a period in the late 1970s and early 1980s.) Tindale had gained television exposure in Buffalo through CHCH-TV's broadcast of Ontario university football, which had made him a "cult hero" of sorts in the station's broadcast area. Tindale scored his first career rushing touchdown on December 30, 1995, in a playoff game against the Miami Dolphins. His Western University coach, Larry Haylor, said he remembers watching Tindale's first NFL touchdown while on vacation. "We were huddled around a 7-inch TV screen. Tim broke a run for 44 yards and my wife and I were jumping up and down, cheering and screaming. People came storming into our room to see what was wrong." Haylor also said "I always said Tim would be the guy I would pick first if I had to choose a team. At 5'11", 220 [pounds], he had very unusual talents. He's one of those guys who will give you his soul in effort."
  16. If this works out - will the NFL take notice? https://mashable.com/article/fifa-world-cup-ai-offside-tech?utm_source=GetTheElevatordotcom
  17. The UB Bookstore junked all their NCR behemoths in 1978. Those things weighed at least 200 pounds and were indestructible. For Agnes - I was in high school in Rochester and it rained for like three straight days. Every hand patrolled the streets to keep the sewers cleared

  21. $15 for 10 is pretty much standard here. I see a lot of menus heavily promoting "boneless" wings. (Buffalo) I just bought a dozen (precooked) at BJ's for 10.99 + a $3 dollar coupon off. I don't need wings at $15 that bad. 1970's - Fridays at Broadway Joe's - 10 cents wings and drafts
  22. I am sure - has not played in 6 (SIX) seasons ! NFL Pipedream
  23. The Braves were linked with Toronto in 1974 - good read here of attitudes back then (48 years ago) https://sportsteamhistory.com/when-toronto-got-buffaloed-by-the-nba
