Places and instruments. Might be for memory

I know someone who is exactly 10 years older than me, who is birthday is today.

I learned that people who leave in the South of Boston, are the southies. Although, that learned from a film. I guess I now some folks who does not necessarily live to far from there. I do not recall their place clearly, though.

I learned a bit about Stamford from someone more or less from there. That is Connecticut, which is a word I straggle to say.

I couldn’t recall that well Hartford, where Olmsted was born. Although, I think I did more or less well. They should have asked me to spell it. I learned that the Connecticut rivers flows through Hartford.

I learned that Providence is in Rhode Island. Basic things. Depends on the vibe how to recall those.

The Woonasquatucket River might get through Providence.

I have sometimes issues name calling the Susquehanna River. Might be because I have not been there. It flows through the capital of Pennsylvania, which has been Harrisburg since 1812.

I learned about the MIT bridge, the Esplanade. I should have gotten a joke.

I learned a bit about the Charles River and the Muddy river. And a bit about Watertown. Confirmed something about Back Bey.

The Emerald Necklace is great. It follows the Muddy River. The family home and studio from Frederick Law Olmsted was about half way between Olmsted Park and Boston College in the direction west-east.

I learned that Louisville, Loo-vul, Loo-uh-vull, is on the Ohio River. I should have know that better. Frankfort is the capital of Kentucky, which is not far from Louisville. It is located along the Kentucky river.

The Kentucky river, which has several meanders, joins the Ohio River at Prestonville or Carrollton. There is a Two Rivers Campground there.

The Ohio River joins the Mississippi river in Cairo, Illinois, at an intersection area between the states of Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky.

Downstream, at least in the east side of the Mississippi, left bank though is Tennessee, Mississippi, and Louisiana. On the west, right bank of the Mississippi river, between Louisiana and Missouri is Arkansas.

The place of the dust bowl of the 1930s, in Oklahoma (?) is not too far. I am about to read it from at least two sources, if I can make time for it, which I likely should.

I learned a bit about Honolulu and Kona(?).

Then about Guam, then probably about Sarigan or Saipan. Those are in the Micronesia.

I think they might be in the Philippine Sea, but also some of them are in the Pacific Ocean.

I realized now of few other things.

I had 8 oz of a good IPA. I did not have a good night of sleep yesterday. It might keep going. The beer was good. But I did only three pulls ups in a contest. Well, glad I participated.

I should have been more focused. I would see.

I would need to listen to some Irish music where the Bodhran, which is drum, is used.

I do not kno much about particulate accelerators, particularly which kind of particulates. Not too far from here there is one that is 2 mile long. There is another in Switzerland. The one in Switzerland is near Geneva.
