Thanksgiving "Twin Trot"

By -
On the last five Thanksgiving mornings, we have gone into South Dallas to catch the Transit Train into downtown for the big YMCA Turkey Trot. It seems that Sam and Miles said, "Not this year", so the girls came up with our own "Twin Trot". Kathy and Cait drove down to Jess' house and I rode my bike so Grant and I could do the race on wheels. When the "race" came to Kristin's she had pumpkin oatmeal panckakes for everyone.

Eveyone gathered at our house in the evening for our annual Pickles and Pies. Kathy and Cait laid out about 50 dishes of finger foods. As always the large variety of olives and cheese is a favorite. Cait even did fried pickles! After the Cowboys game we started to watch WALL-E. Grant and I wanted to finish, but all of the others were ready for bed. We'll have to circulate the DVD through the neighborhood. Happy Thanksgiving.

 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...
