COVID or Cleveland?

      Plans  for a boat trip were scuttled by Monday. The boat, and much else, doesn't run/open on Monday. Is that a result of COVID or a feature of life in Cleveland?  We visited the West Side Market, a huge emporium of fruits, vegetables, meats and other foods. It was built as a market for immigrant groups opening in 1912. See picture below...

      We drove along the lakefront and learned that Lake Erie produces the most fish of any of the Great Lakes. This is because it is shallow and the water is warmer than the other lakes. A short drive took us to Oberlin , OH., that I last visited when Lars graduated from Oberlin College in 1992.

      Today Loganberry Bookstore awakened from it's Monday slumber. A few blocks down the boulevard from me it's vast bazaar of new and used books, gifts, cards, art, etc. Perusing the stock occupied most of my morning. Braiding Sweetgrass, Robin Wall Kimmerer, followed me home. It was published a few blocks down Washington Ave., from the Minneapolis condo. Too bad Loganberry Books is 700 miles from MN. Pictured below...

      Tomorrow we'll be on the road again.

Takk for alt,
