King Shit of Turd Mountain


Before my double digits my parents took my brother and I on one of those late 60s Fort Tours that every family seemed to take as a road trip in the old days.  Fort York, Fort Henry, and La Citadelle in Quebec City.  I wanted to take Fort Henry's mascot (a regimental goat named David) back to the farm with me.  Here I am in the catbird seat between stops, where, I'm not sure.  Since I was a kid I have held in great esteem our ingenious capacity for transporation engineering, especially in the Isambard Kingdom Brunel style.  Of dirigibles, massive passenger liners, and The 20th Century Limited.

Yes quite right Naven! I have a vague memory of stepping inside that dark and greasy space. I admit, all the girls liked my curly hair. I only wish a boy had :)
