Amazing how one can spend the day fishing without doing
much fishing because of high water. ;-)

Started drizzling rain during the night here in Urbana
and the rain continues.


I have seen fireworks all over the world, urban and rural, but the
best I ever saw was 4JUL71 in (hard to believe) Rantoul Illinois. Was
a student at Chanute AFB (now closed). The little burg of RT put on
the greatest show ever.

Bought a canoe at the Sears store while there so I could poke around
at Kickapoo with a 6ft fiberglass Phillipson 5 wt.

cheers
