            When I was a kid we had this guy Newton somewhere in our school, and he made a bunch of laws.
            As I recall something about something continuing in the same direction unless a force acted upon it. So, this "author" expects me to believe that a huge mass of spinning stuff can reverse direction in just a handful of years?

                  I didn’t know much about these guys, other than driving by them now and then. Interesting business model, but I’ll stick to the NY Sports Club.

                        @George-K Seems the invention of contraptions is an underappreciated piece of the moviemaking art. Someone oughta do a documentary series on that subject.

                        Education is extremely important.

                                  I assume the, lucky, photographer was probably looking away from the explosion when the flash occurred. It seems like most people in that area would be, at least temporarily, blinded.

                                    If i remember the story correctly, the photo (or the negative) was found in a school from where the photo was taken. Dont know what happened to the photographer.

                                      I was going to say, there’s no reason to necessarily believe that the photographer survived, let alone remained sighted.

                                      Thank you for your attention to this matter.

                                          I want to be on the committee that decides these words of venery.

                                          My first nomination would be “a haggard of milfs”.
