Impressive, isn’t it? Built in Shelburne, Vermont in 1906, this steamboat sidewheeler, The Ticonderoga, was used from 1906 to 1953 on Lake Champlain. After it was no longer the fashion, Electra Havemayer Webb had it moved to the Shelburne Museum, in 1955. http://shelburnemuseum.org/collections/steamboat-ticonderoga/
Dang, I told the creme members not to let anyone take photos inside my yacht!
listener--no kudos for working in hundred-degree-plus weather here; one learns to adapt--or else. Delaying into the evening is a luxury many working people don't have. By way of compensation, we don't have to know how to drive in the snow!
Oh pox! I tried to delete this comment to get rid of the spelling mistake, but it didn't happen. Would some good person trash it for me? The revised version is below.
I've always been able to delete my own posts but nobody else's. I wonder if the problem is that you're posting anonymously and the software doesn't know that you are you.

Yeah, but Alan, driving in the snow is a sit-down job, in a climate-controlled place, and we can add layers as needed! With 100+F, you are out in the elements gardening, and you only have so many layers you can remove!
I remain quite apprehensive about it, but I signed up for Facebook so I could contact a previously unknown cousin who posted on the Markham Berczy Settlers Association page there (I discovered her post using Google). I think I cranked up the security and privacy settings as much as I could.
Howard is first, even on a domed paddlewheeler the likes of which I have never seen before.

I figured daydreaming about a new car was just jealousy of Miyoko's nice new Camry...

Alan, I don't think there's too much to worry about:
