When I saw this antique water pump at The Grand Amezon Hotel and Resort in Lampang, Thailand the Dylan line from his ground breaking 1965 song immediately reverberated through my mind.
Subterranean Homesick Blues
by Bob Dylan
Better jump down a manhole
Light yourself a candle
Don’t wear sandals
Try to avoid the scandals
Don’t wanna be a bum
You better chew gum
The pump don’t work
’Cause the vandals took the handles
Fortunately they had located a handle for the other pump to the right of the first one.
