Started walk 6:30 a.m.

It is the official birthday of my youngest woman child. She entered the world twelve years ago to the day that the Western world first learned of Chernobyl.

It was sunny and cold in the low 30's. Two geese were on the main island. The Dr. Suess duck was sleeping on a small stone near the water's edges, head turned and tucked under its wing.





Coffee -- Costa Rican - only OK -- AGAIN! -- and it's morning!
Macanudo Cigar.
