Generations

Well this is our grown up grandson, Drew. He's finishing his sophomore year and just turned 16. Drew is completing three AP courses and remains a kind big brother. I'm sure he's ready for summer, other than he has to find that first job. I wasn't invited to look for Drew's first car, but I couldn't seem to help myself. I drove by my favorite dealer week after week, but rarely sent a picture to Steph or Donny. Stephanie found a dealer that took delivery on a fleet of rental car return Toyota Corollas with low miles and a great price. The plan is to keep this car going through high school and college. Not to worry Megan and Landon or Jessica and Grant, but we seniors might be amazed at the insurance coverage for a 16 year old boy today. Can you come up with $325.00 per month?!!!

Wow. That's steep but it will be so convenient to have Drew driving. I'm sure that he is thrilled to have his own car.

 When watching the evening news today, I saw an image of coal barges lined up at the docks at the USS Mon Valley Steel Plant.  Of course the news segment was about the White House blocking the sale of USS to Nippon Steel.  My mind wandered to to dad's career at the Robena Prep Plant.  I didn't think that it was still in operation but I searched for more information.  I found that the Robena deep mines closed in 1983, but plant continued to operate until 2017 processing coal from surface mining for Consol Mining.  It seems that reclamation of the site began many years before 2017, most likely mandated by local concerns about environmental damage from seepage from the three large slurry ponds and other surface contamination.  Dad took me out one Sunday afternoon to inspect the dikes and berms around the ponds.  We had to hop into one of the big company trucks to traverse the dirt roads around the site. I read a couple of articles about the ongoing l...
