  1. Is that a floating lighthouse? Where is it?

    1. The lighthouse is on the end of the breakwater on Lake Champlain at Burlington, Vermont. It only looks like it's floating because the Lake is so high right now that the breakwater is very nearly entirely underwater!

    2. Note the slight wave to the left of the lighthouse. That's the breakwater.

    3. During Irene, the Lake got so high that the water was up to the WHITE on the Lighthouse!| In fact, prior to Irene, the white boards extended down to the deck...!

    From the article::

    We Need a Strong Democratic Party to Beat Trump!

    This will not come about by flashy PR campaigns, and scripted speeches written by focus groups. This will come from authentic, progressive, new leadership within the Democratic Party. Leaders like Nina Turner, Tulsi Gabbard and others have great appeal to Millennials, which now outnumber the Baby Boomers. That’s why I wrote a piece called ‘Why Dems Need Tulsi Gabbard More Than Ever which outlines the policy stances that many Democrats want which the party has long since abandoned. Remember when the Democratic Party stood for peace, when they represented unions and the working class?

    Obama stabbed unions in the back when he went against his own party to partner with Boehner and McConnell to push for fast tracking the secret TPP which was written by corporate lobbyists behind closed doors. The Rust Belt Voters who went for Obama turned their backs on Clinton. Do you think they became racist or sexist after they voted for Obama, or does it maybe have to do with policy? Clinton was also a staunch supporter of the TPP until she changed course to match Bernie’s stance in the primaries.

  3. I'm leaving early tomorrow morning for a science fiction convention in Columbus (OH). Back Monday night but probably won't be on-line until Tuesday.

  4. I had two meetings on the other side of the state today and when I got home my internet was down. It took us until 9:30pm to get it up again...all because we "upgraded" (HA!) to faster internet!
