I stop at the lake along Oak Street Ext. just about every night after work to listen to geese/turtles, watch stars/moon’s reflection on water and glow from state penitentiary lights. Very peaceful, but, spooky. It could be the final resting place of some, but, so far, all I’ve encountered is a few innocuous fishermen.
last few days our group held a similar talk on this topic and you show something we have not covered yet, appreciate that.
