Just a cool old tombstone. I love that last line. Very intriguing. Also like that they capitalize "You" (like we capitalize "I"). Here is a link that might be useful: Reader, You must die

Jodi, I love your pictures of the Panama Canal, I got to visit one set of locks when I was in Panama, but I didn't get a chance to traverse the canal or even see any of it but the one set of locks. On our voyage I was reading the book "The Path Between the Seas: The Creation of the Panama Canal, 1870-1914" by David McCullough which provides a details history of the building of the canal. I joked that the book provides a good view of what a herculean task building the canal was, because simply reading the book is nearly as herculean. I think that your image might be of the San Pedro locks (which has two lock doors and one lock chamber) rather than the Miraflores locks (which has three lock doors and two lock chambers). Here is an image of the inside of the Gatun Locks Control House, showing the original analog gauges and controls for operating the lock doors, with racks of computers in the background that now drive the original mechanisms.

Boat assortment from Block Island. View across the Great Salt Pond towards the Coast Guard station My wife's family always use to go to Block Island for their summer vacation, and were members of the Block Island Club where many of the family learned sailing. In fact her father orchestrated the first purchase and shipment of "420" sailboats that the club used. Here's my wife and brother-in-law taking a 420 out for a spin. Here's a race the club hosted, competing against a different sailing club, with 420's and smaller sailboats called "Optis" Here's a different brother-in-law in the boat that he (and part of his family) came to the island on from the mainland 10 miles away.
