A beautiful day here in Houston, high 70's, no humidity after yesterday's blue norther. I only went n to work for about three hours today

Anyway, for those wondering about the user name, here's a picture of my grandmother's house I found on line. I lived in this house for about six years--through Jr. High and High School. It's the white house in the background, just to the left of the church.

<\a Picture >

My connection to this place is slowly growing weaker, though...my grandmother died in 1988, and my step-grandfather died about three weeks ago...


Well, HTML obviously isn't my strong suit. I'm happy the link is clickable, but still wondering why the paragraph *after* the link is part of the link...

Looks like some of your endings have instead of Less than, /a, greater than... an absense of those symbols or the / after instead of before the trigger.

WIll follow the link later...

Sorry to hear about your stepgrandfather. *hugs*

Wow. Pretty place to grow up. Why is it called "reversing falls?"

Reversing Falls

[weskeag.livejournal.com]

Well, it reverses twice a day...

Picture a narrow place in a river where the water can't get through fast enough as the tide comes in (this creates a waterfall effect as the tide comes in).

Now picture a downhill slope in the bottom, so that there's about a 6-foot difference in elevation from one side to the other. This, combined with the fact that all the upstream water can't go through the narrows fast enough, creates a waterfall effect as the tide goes out and at low tide.

You can only get a boat through the narrows at high slack tide...

Back in the 1800s, there was a mill at the reversing falls.
