Whose are those boats roopy, The Borrowers?
If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

They are boats made by the maintenance staff in the hospital i work at when they should be working. We have about a mile of water frontage and a big bay - and those guys play boats instead of fixing stuff.

Nice. We have a table tennis table, (is that even right?) outside of the hospital here.

That building is the recreation hall and it's basically never used now.
It's an old psychiatric hospital with 11 square miles of land that used to be farmed by the 2000 inmates, but now we use about 20 acres for the 100 residents.
Those pics were taken on an open day on the 100 year anniversary of the hospital.

You should see that state of some of our psychiatric units from the sixties, most of them had been open for about eighty years by that point and didn't close until the late eighties.
