Update: the weather was fine, George got across ok and in the manner of the historically incorrect painting, he stood in the boat, although they used the right flag, not the stars and stripes that the painting shows. One of the other boats got hung up on some rocks; the water level is down due to the drought we've been having. The spectators were no trouble, and no one cursed at me because they arrived late and couldn't get a good parking spot, which is unusual. Earlier in the day, I drove over to Pennsylvania (either Bucks or Northampton County) and had to wait for a garbage truck to get off the road. What evil local government makes its garbage collectors work on Christmas?Anyway, I hope you all had a good Christmas.
