Partly cloudy and cool. I did some ironing in pm and finished half in am. Clifton and some other men went to Ilion at night to see a man in the hospital.
Comment: Not sure who the man was. Ilion was the original name for the ancient city of Troy. The founder of Remington Arms, Eliphalet Remington was born in Ilion, NY. Remington makes the 2nd most popular firearm in the world, the Remington 870 Wingmaster pump action shotgun. They also developed or adopted more cartridges than any company in the world, are the oldest company in the US that still makes its original product and is the oldest continuing manufacturer in North America. They are also moving some operations to Alabama and reducing the Ilion workforces because of the SAFE act recently passed in New York....betcha that's more than you ever wanted to know about Ilion, NY....I think Uncle Earl had one and I know other relatives did also...
