good talk

Ed is sad and lonely for the big money he deserves, all these dime a dozen people pulling down heavy-readers and him not bothers Ed a great deal.  Sorry about Jabari Parker being lost for the rest of the NBA Season, I saw him play and well this past Summer.  Browns Stadium and the R and R Hall of Fame are right on Lake Erie, and you can look out on the beautiful huge lake.  The first Europeans to see the Great Lakes were French Explorers who were amazed at the size of what were Seas of Fresh Water.  Indeed, 21% of the World's fresh water are these.  The Great Lakes are extremely treacherous with vast numbers of sunken-boats since the first Men began using them.  These Eastern European Types' goal used to be a Good-Paying blue-collar job that they could work for 30 or 40 years enabling them a pretty high standard of living, they could own a house and a couple of new cars (hardly any of these jobs left in this Country).   I knew a guy who knew a guy who had had a hard-time finding a "Good Job."  Finally, this young fellow did find one, as a Great Lakes Sailor, and his Ship was the "Edmund Fitzgerald" (See the lyrics for Gordon Lightfoot's "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald").  Be careful what you want, you might get it.
