I didn't know I had ascended to Poet Lariat!
In Response To: The Briefest Summary of Day 2 ()

You will never find the Stray Antlers Club looking for an Elks Lodge, because it wasn't. It was a house with a basement near the mining camp. Although Elks members used the club, they were inducted (in-elked?) in Ely. In-Ely-ed, then. The club lasted from 1928 to around 1932, when it was apparently disbanded, either someone hit a Royal Flush and they had to pay out all their cash, or (more likely) the mining business shut down in the Depression. Maybe someone discovered all that neat warm glowing stuff coming out of the pit was Plutonium.

While in McGill, did you happen to run into a lady named Lil? Everyone knew her as Nancy!

Well, gotta round up some dogies with my Poet Lariat.
