Ditto for James Garfield. He really died of gangrene and slowly starving all summer

Garfield's is understandable because he was only in office a few months when he was shot. But his assassination was a really interesting story. McKinley was well-liked but is a slightly obscure president

McKinley's was the third Presidential assassination in 36 years (Lincoln in 1865 and Garfield in 1881)

I liked the ROB'T MOSES CAUSEWAY signs on Long Island, I imagine a sort of burping sound as you say ROB'T

I learned to drive around the time they renamed the Triboro to the RFK, but it'll always be the Triboro to me

License plates belong to NYSDMV, they're not the property of the owner
