More shots of polluted and contaminated canal water (see tapes 91 & 93, too). Follow-up interview to swap meet ticketing from February, 1990 as legal hassles and problems are addressed—“People at the stores know that the snowbirds being here is a good thing.” “What really irritates me is that the older people who sell and make a little extra money are scared off.” (This is an update to tapes 67 & 68.) James Landress on how his jaw was blown off while his friend was tinkering away with bomb on range. Good audio and video on tape.
