mile 60 Massapequa

My legs and buttocks were hurting intensely as I glided through down town Massapequa. Moreover, I REALLY needed to relieve myself at that moment. So I did what any reasonable person would've done in the situation. I went to the Massapequa Chamber of Commerce building and proceeded to find a restroom. While there, I grabbed a few brochures with local maps on them. Once in the restroom, I took much longer than usual to get the job done. I had been eating non stop for the entire day and thus had a lot of waste materials to purge. So I was quite bored sitting there and started flipping through the brochures. One caught my eye, it was something from the bureau of Indian affairs. Basically, the native American Massapequa tribe used to control a large portion of the Southern long island coast. At some point in the 1690s, European colonists basically passed on small pox to the natives and largely wiped that tribe off the map. The modern town was built on top of the old Massapequa main village. The brochure goes on to mention that the surrounding areas used to be Massapequa corn fields and settlements. The colonists basically just took over the Indian villages and fields that were cleared of Indians through the power of epidemic diseases. In any case, I was much intrigued with the story, but had to be on my way.
