With these pictures, now, I finish off that walk around [personal profile] bunnyhugger's parents' town. Hope you enjoy it all.

Historical plaque in town commemorating the writing of one of the world's best-loved hymns that I never heard of before encountering this plaque. Maybe you have to be Methodist to know it.


SAM_5280.jpg

Historical plaque noting the site of the ``Delt Shelter'', home of the Delta Tau Delta fraternity from 1920 to 1966, so the building has been gone now twice as long as it was there.

A nice little boat launch out over the river, for people who want to go enjoying themselves.

I forget just where in town this is but boy, imagine living across the river from your road, huh? This must be fun during the snow. Anyway right around here [personal profile] bunnyhugger called me and asked where I was and if I were going to be having dinner and such, so I started back for the house.

House that's still got decorations up for the holidays. Also ...

They've got a heck of a boot collection going here! Good set, good set.


Trivia: The Skylab parasol's canopy was a 6.7-by-7.3 meter aluminized Mylar-nylon laminate, partially opaque to solar thermal energy. It also used a canopy mast, a mast hub with four deployment springs, seven telescoping deployment rods, seven extension rods, and the support tripod from the T027 experiment canister.
