Who are the top 3 biggest messes in Darlington?

      “The Reeves twins, by far. Garrett - I mean really, the guy even looks like a mess. And as much as I love to hate Kenna, she truly is a mess. I mean, the girl acts put together but I’m waiting to see her crack. She’s harboring some deep rooted shit.”

96.3 The Try-Works

Removing the fire-board from the front of the try-works, the bare masonry of that side is exposed, penetrated by the two iron mouths of the furnaces, directly underneath the pots. These mouths are fitted with heavy doors of iron. The intense heat of the fire is prevented from communicating itself to the deck, by means of a shallow reservoir extending under the entire inclosed surface of the works. By a tunnel inserted at the rear, this reservoir is kept replenished with water as fast as it evaporates. There are no external chimneys; they open direct from the rear wall. And here let us go back for a moment.

It was about nine o'clock at night that the Pequod's try-works were first started on this present voyage. It belonged to Stubb to oversee the business.

Nelson Mandela, A Freemason, and the End of Apartheid

Yes, you read that correctly.  Nelson Mandela was a Freemason and he became one just 4 months after being released from 27 years of imprisonment.  He became a PHA Mason in the state of North Carolina.  But why?  Of all the things he could have been doing upon being released from prison, why did becoming a Freemason rank so high on his personal list?

Livingstone offers a unique blog regarding Nelson Mandela becoming a Freemason.
