What rhymes with election?

Selection. Here's a selection. Be happy.

What rhymes with WHAM?

JAM - as in traffic jam!

Looking west on Rt. 32:

Looking East towards Batavia:

Whaddizit?

It's the north side of a southbound Big Boy at Frisch's Big Boy Restaurant on Victory Parkway near Hopple. We had a pleasant waitress who handled things in a professional manner in spite of the computer being down! I appreciated being forewarned before we ordered. Time was not critical, so we stayed and the food was OK and not much slower than usual.

Did you snore?

No, Elsinore! A few days ago, the wife couldn't sleep and was up nearly all knight - I mean night - because? She couldn't sleep! Watching TV, she called in for a contest on TV and WON some movie tickets. She had to pick them up today at the TV station. WCPO, on Gilbert Avenue, is in a building that once housed the natural history museum. The entrance is/was heralded with a beautiful castle-like structure whose history I do not recall and probably never knew. To hazard a guess, maybe it was a gateway to an incline up to Elsinore Street in Mt. Adams. FWIW, the plaque in the center reads Elsinore, 1883. Turns out this was once the gateway entrance to Eden Park.

How's the food?

Ahh - a break after the 2.4 mile hike through the woods finding the pond below. Stopped into Gold Star Chili in Afton, Ohio. The waitress was nice and the club sandwich served looked just like the one in the placemat photo. (Arbees should learn a lesson from that!) The sandwich tasted good too. Job well done!

Pond at 39.040991,-84.108971

Here's a nice pond at 39.040991,-84.108971 (how I got there). However, it's a little further off the trail from the horseman's parking lot from the North entrance. It was a beauty, though. Unlike most others to date, this must have steep sides because it did not look at all damaged by the drought. Many of the other ponds had proportionally extensive dried mud flats leading up to the water. Here is how I got there from the horseman's parking lot on Afton-Elklick Road

Here's the first look I had that made a decent image:
