  • That’s very possible. On second look there are a few materials that seem more set into the ground. However even the plant growth over them still might fit a time period that includes this currenr spring and last spring. (Assuming this isn’t Australia or anything.) But it could be a favorite dump site for some slumlord in the area.

    Also, I have seen garbage piles with moss because the landlord had scraped everything out of a property and dumped it into a ravine. Moss and other plants could easily come with the dump too. But it’s also on netting material which is great for rapid moss growth. But more than one dump is very plausible.




  • It’s been over 20 years, but I do remember the acupuncture was beneficial. The physical therapy exercises helped with a shoulder injury, and it was accessible for a laborer without insurance.

    I should also mention they were also religious and gave you a pocket bible every visit. It was a very different time and location in my life.



  • Yeah I was using common nomenclature. I don’t recall if they were licensed dietitians or not.

    The one sold supplements and vitamin tinctures his wife made, so they weren’t far off from the unlicensed category. But they were both also licensed/certified physical therapists and masseuses. He had done some kind of sports medicine if I recall correctly before starting his business.

    The other guy was really into the whole gambit of chinese herbology and such, but he kept himself grounded with physical therapy regimens and promoting tai chi every other sentence.



  • I have known a few chiropractors. Two were decent naturopaths who were also nutritionists, physical therapists, and masseuses. Whole body and nervous system health. Never cracked or popped a joint.

    The third charges $35 bucks, no insurance needed, and just pops your middle back and gropes you. Absolute worst and he bought the business from one of the first.

    Good chiros are about nervous systems. Bad chiros, the vast majority, are witch doctors selling bunk cures.
