Free Range by Bill Whitehead for December 28, 2024

Hardly a major “land grab”.

I lived for a year in New York City in the Inwood district overlooking the cove where that exchange of beads took place. One of the worst years of my life. I hated New York. If I hadn’t gotten the transfer I wanted, I’d have quit.

I don’t even want to visit, thank you!!!

Manhattan, Montana (59741) is a bit more scenic even if the Muppets weren’t lured that way.

24 bucks?! FOR MANHATTAN?!?Blame it on the inflation, the bad economy of today or monsters from outer space, but nowadays you don’t even get the same called cocktail for this price…

It was those green stamp coupon books I just know it.

ah yes. ….I’d forgotten about the alleged 24 dollars worth of baubles buying Manhattan story from my grade school history books.

sounds a little fishy

They were probably Bed, Bath & Beyond coupons anyway.

The original thrifty Dutchman.

Is Greenland giving out coupons?

yes but history books don’t tell you, they bought it from a tribe visiting and hunting on Manhattan, not the tribe that lived there

Funny. And someone has foliage growing on their helmet.

The original Manhattan Transfer.

I can understand why it went so cheap.
