Great fun if you enjoy associating with bums, addicts, perverts, thieves and a lot of liberal book readers who were all too willing to share their view of the world with me. I was allowed to evict the bums and perverts but couldn't do anything about the liberals.Donny Genarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03030784758958842374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-50102388166610092972017-07-10T07:59:12.399-04:002017-07-10T07:59:12.399-04:00Happy Birthday, Sixty.Happy Birthday, Sixty.AllenShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08848966772462502893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-73293595207445204332017-07-09T21:10:04.249-04:002017-07-09T21:10:04.249-04:00Ignore my math fail - I misstated the actual value...Ignore my math fail - I misstated the actual values involved.The Dudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05354536924604187137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-83804676036122950182017-07-09T18:33:59.842-04:002017-07-09T18:33:59.842-04:00Aw, Nick, now I am embarrassed.

The homeless man in the section I needed to be in - he was so pungent, it made me gag. Literally wretch. *This was before the big Michael Graves addition.<br /><br /> Michael Graves did a good job on the architecture. At least I thought so at the time it was built. It's not that exciting now and it's weird inside. I don't like it in there. <br />Surprised the diving platform isn't used more often.Joe Biden, America's Putinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05802605309593881825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-22488014917009421922017-07-09T15:52:12.213-04:002017-07-09T15:52:12.213-04:00The Denver Library<a href="https://michaelgraves.com/portfolio/denver-central-library/" rel="nofollow">The Denver Library</a>Joe Biden, America's Putinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05802605309593881825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-62029916292501079152017-07-09T15:50:25.024-04:002017-07-09T15:50:25.024-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Joe Biden, America's Putinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05802605309593881825noreply@blogger.com
