I've seen videos of these things in operation before, but I always imagined them as having big flywheels, big, like a foot or two across. I didn't think they would be this small.

Seems there are two methods of operation. One, you can crank them up by hand, or two, you can spin them up with a small electric motor.

Pretty great. Life in a women's prison in Argentina. This time we have a new female bull on the block, Gringa, and she is vicious, mean and nasty. But Gladys, AKA Borges, our female bull, builds on her base of supporters and ultimately prevails.
Everybody is starved for money, so the warden, the guards and the prisoners are colluding in a scheme to rob rich folks. Half a dozen pretty women prisoners get dolled up, load into a van, and are driven into town where they descend onto a place packed with swells where they latch onto a mark, spike his drink and go to his room. When he passes out, the woman takes everything worth stealing. And then they head back to the van and back to prison. They do this a couple three nights a week and it provides a steady source of income. Amazing what you can get away with in big city.

An old incident popped into my head at lunch today. Is it worth relating? Maybe yeah, maybe nay. We shall see.

This was around 1970. I caught a ride with Shag and his old lady back to Newark, possibly from Columbus. Shag was a biker, as in motorcycles. He wasn't a big guy and he wasn't much older than me in years, but he was infinitely older in terms of experience. I have no idea how I was allowed in the same vehicle with him, much less seated next to his woman.
Shag made his living delivering mobile homes, and we were riding in his truck that he use for hauling these mobile homes. Anyway, we're cruising along and we see a car on fire off the other side of the road. Shag stops, grabs his fire extinguisher. runs across the road and attempts to quench the fire. It was basically hopeless, the fire was too far advanced and the fire extinguisher was too small.
We're watching Shag fight the fire and his girl steps on the gas and the engine revs up and starts roaring. This brings Shag running back, where upon the two of them have words. Shag was upset that she could be damaging his truck, the girl (I cannot remember her name) did not want him getting hurt. First time I encountered that kind of behavior.
As I remember her, Shag's girl looked a lot like Elvira (above). Her appearance, whenever I saw her, was always pitch perfect. She worked selling movie tickets at the Granville Opera House. I don't think I ever exchanged more than a couple of words with her. With that makeup and hair she was on another level.

The Opera House was managed by Bob, a pothead in a tweed jacket. He kept a water pipe filled with whiskey in his office. I never understood how this place stayed in business. Maybe the college kids from Denison filled it up on the weekends.
