July 25th, 2017, Steam Clock

[Snakeadelic]

Many years back I stayed with a friend in BC who worked nights in Gastown. I'd go with him, and for my own safety the bar he was a bouncer at decided I could just hang in the coat check, out of reach of rowdy customers. I saw the steam clock once or twice but never checked it out closely because missing the light-rail train back to his apartment after his shift meant a 4-hour wait through the only down time that transport system took on a daily basis...otherwise the SkyTrain, that was its name, ran every 15 minutes just like the clock "chimes".
