On this day:
1974 - Out on Lake St Clair. Pete had a 1963 - 31 ft Chris Craft Sport Fisherman wooden boat. It was a great boat, rode the water so nice. You were on top of the world flying across the lake on the fly bridge. We woke up at Metro Beach, headed over to Muscamoot Bay for the afternoon, cruised back to Ford's Cove. The gas was much cheaper then and we were much younger and tanner. If you get a chance to enjoy the lake, think of me because I will be thinking of you. Great times.
1988 - Several popular beaches were closed in New York City due to medical waste and other debris began washing up on the seashores. Around 1970 the boats on Lake St Clair had to have holding tanks to keep the lake from becoming a giant sewer.
Parenting - our children may find it harder to find those pristine lakes, with clear water and fish you can eat as they get older. I saw a list the other day about the recommended amount of fish you can eat from the great lakes, and where NOT to ever eat fish from. Pregnant women and children are even more at risk. I am beginning to think it is more then just a natural phenomenon that more people are unable to have children or even want to have children. Take care of the children already here. Just a thought.
Book Club - Animal Farm by George Orwell strikes home with our current politics/ as ever. On to something happier.
Bucharest Romania -
Landmarks
Known for its wide, tree-lined boulevards, glorious Belle Époque buildings and a reputation for the high life (which in the 1900s earned its nickname of "Little Paris"), Bucharest, Romania's largest city and capital,
is today a bustling metropolis.
Romanian legend has it that the city of Bucharest was founded on the banks of
the Dambovita River by a shepherd named Bucur, whose name literarily means "joy."
His flute playing reportedly dazzled the people and his hearty wine from nearby vineyards endeared him to the local traders.
Enjoy the day! Make it Memorable! Take a bottle of wine and enjoy the lake.
