I never noticed before, but in your profile it says you live in “The Land Of Cleves”. Do you live in Cleves, Ohio, as in, adjacent to Whitewater Township and Green Township? ---

Akron just is the sewage problem of the Cuyahoga, The fire problem was Cleveland. > [@](#): > > At least 13 fires have been reported on the Cuyahoga River, the first occurring in 1868.[12] The largest river fire in 1952 caused over $1 million in damage to boats and a riverfront office building.[13] Fires erupted on the river several more times before June 22, 1969, when a river fire captured the attention of Time magazine, which described the Cuyahoga as the river that “oozes rather than flows” and in which a person “does not drown but decays”.[14] From [Cuyahoga River - Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuyahoga_River) ---

> [@](#): > > I thought Chronos lived just south of me, down in Montana? That’s correct, I lived in Montana. Past tense. But my roots are in Cleveland, and now I’m back. Well, Lakewood now, technically, but right next to the border (which puts Kamms in easy bike range). And I didn’t even know that there was a Cleves, OH. ---
