Hahaha – thanks for setting me straight – a random photo I did not earmark, so just assumed. Glad you found me.

you’re welcome. I lived in Cincinnati for several years – and that water town puzzled me each time I drove over the river into Kentucky… very interesting. I’m in Texas now – and much better than when I was in Cincinnati! Glad I found your blog.
