I just wanted to add this quote from the peppermint patty peanuts wiki page about Charles M. Schulz and his relationship with his gay cousin. The source here leads to a book that I did not read but the original source is Schulz's wife who confirmed this in an interview. If I can find the interview again I will link it here but uh. just in case someone tries to claim Schulz was a homophobe on this post again.

Ghost towns can be a mixed bag. Okaton, South Dakota is an example. Lonely, eerie, doomed, forgotten. But maybe not…quite…gone. We’ve stopped a few times to view the decaying town. At one time its deterioration was basis for it to be a tourist attraction, but honestly, there are better ones. A rock shop operated there, boxes of rocks sitting in a fenced-in lot, the dubious enterprise neglected. A gas station that always seems to be closed for the season. I’m pretty sure we stopped there once in the past and it was open–but they had no gas. But I did once buy a decades-old calendar from the Okaton Bank in the adjoining gift shop. This particular time we saw no one anywhere. Meanwhile the harsh Dakota winters and harsh Dakota summers take the place apart little by little. Nearby even I-90 looks a bit deserted too, its occasional cars speeding heedlessly past forgotten Okaton. Photos taken September 27, 2011.

Employees of Ecology and Environment, Inc. play volleyball at a training course in Atlanta. The game helps them get used to the cumbersome garments, worn in the cleanup of toxic waste.
