@WMcHBg An Englishman told me that the difference between Americans and the British are that Americans think 100 years is old and British think 100 miles is far. That was 20 years ago, and I still use that line.

@edburmila @KevinMKruse This seems like a good time to remind people that Jim Traficant became a folk hero in the Mahoning Valley for refusing to serve eviction notices to steelworkers who’d lost their jobs after the mills closed. He was actually jailed for a couple days for contempt.
