Great words of wisdom on the wall of a bookstore...

and these too....

I dined outside at the Keystone Grill

This bridge was built in 1865.  It crosses the Ohio River

The last rays of the day



I am in Kentucky for the CPSA convention.  I flew in late this afternoon,
and checked in to the Embassy Suites.  It is located right on the Ohio River,
and Cincinnati is right across the bridge.  I walked around the downtown,
taking a few pics of the sites.  The old bridge is really beautiful...it had a date
of 1865 etched into it.  I asked for a restaurant recommendation from the
valet parking guy, and he sent me to the Keystone Grill.  I sat outside and
it was quite pleasant.  I had the mac and cheese (a specialty here), and it was
scrumptious. They had all different kinds..some with bacon, some with vegetables,
some with different kinds of cheese.
I strolled around till the sun went down.  The football and baseball stadiums are
right on the river...very cool.  And there was a baseball game going on.  The boats
on the river can hear the play by play...an interesting seat.

I am free tomorrow till the evening meeting.  There is a long  yard sale here,
that goes all the way to Michigan!  I doubt that I will make it that far! but I may
find some neat things close by.
