[Vision2020] Tunnels

[Donovan Arnold]

"In the early 80's they didn't have lights."---Kit CraineIdaho didn't have lights in the 1980s? I knew we were behind the times, but I thought for certain we had lights at least by then :)

"They are very hot, dank, and dreary places with very low ceilings, lots of
stuff to bang one's head on, and dropoffs to fall into."

Wow, the tunnels sound almost as dangerous as the UI sidewalks.

Best Regards,

Donovan

Close, but no bananas. In the early 80's they didn't have lights.
