      James, that is awesome! I'm in Bucks County, PA, and I'm so happy that the PA state parks are open for people to walk around and hike on the trails. You have Lake Erie to explore, and I have the Delaware Canal. Thanks for choosing sustainability studies at your university!

    I went for a long bike ride today on Lake Erie, found a restaurant that had a 60c wing night Wednesdays... Might have to go there some time and see how their wings are. The views of the lake were awesome! Erie looks great, got so see some windmills spinning too :)
