... nice thoughts from Jefferson. Our modern presidents may not have the same frame of reference, to have deep thoughts about one of this Nations natural resources. If they travel in or around the Ohio, they fly by in plane or car, at 60+MPH. If they notice the Ohio, they do so for moments.

Our modern life has brought us many wonderful things, but one of the costs has been we've lost those occasions to get to know our natural surroundings, in the manner our forefathers did.
