And you also made it alliterative? You are such a show off Hank! Perfecto!

Thanks, Paghunda. Unfortunately, it's a thing of the past.

Hot and humid, rolling down the river. Been there and done that. Nice reminder of life the way it used to be.

Thanks, Jenna. We used to look forward to seeing the Delta Queen every summer. Alas, no more.

Can just see that steamboat on the mississippi and hear the music playing on a summers day. Tom
