Adventure of the Day

I just love living on the canal. I never know what the day will bring to me here.

Yesterday friends came over to go swimming. It's hotter today, so I hope they come by again. I will be in the pool when I am done here.

Some awesome yachts have been going through today. Wednesdays seem to be the day they usually come through. I haven't been able to catch where any of them are from because the dinghy is usually secured covering the name and location.

Speaking of dinghys, my neighbor down the way went by in one with a motor the other evening. It was obvious that she was very uncomfortable in such a small boat. They looked like newlyweds when they are actually grandparents. And he looks like Paul Newman, so I really do enjoy seeing him. Well I've digressed.

The specialty today was the GoodYear Blimp. I'm not really friendly toward rubber companies, but I always love it when I get to see the blimp. It always seems low enough that I can reach out and touch it. I think it really has more to do with the size of it. I think the last time I saw it was way over 10 years ago. The PGA was holding the Open at Oak Hill Country Club, and it hovered around Rochester for a few days.

Today it had the digital sign reading something about supporting the USO and referring us to USO.org. I haven't checked the site yet, but sure will do so. Until I played with the picture I took, I hadn't noticed the American Flag flying proudly behind. Check it out.
