Light up the Lake

Kevin,
Those were the only fireworks that I got to see. Thanks for the display. I am sure that I was very impressive in person. There is always something going on with your family. Enjoy the rest of the weekend.

This fireworks display is modest compared to that at a big sporting event or the national show in DC, but from our vantage point on the lake it was good. I liked the reflection on the water. We particularly liked the idea that it seemed like a private show for us. There were several thousand viewers at dock and every vantage point along the shore, but in the dark, with only about 20 boats on the water, we were alone. I promise that next year we light up the boat. Maybe Kathy will don the gown and crown.

Watching them out on the water sounds great. I guess the trick is getting the boat out of the lake in the dark.

Family Contacts

 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...
