    That is not the Toledo I remember (I haven't seen it in 40 years). That is a pretty sky. Cheers and happy weekend!

    I don't pick on Toledo.

    Wait . . . I shouldn't have answered.

    That's an awfully big fishing boat.  Doesn't it scare the fish?

    It frightens the fish toward the dock where we fish.

    I prefer cities with a sleepy town feel to them. A Cincinnati-born acquaintance once referred to it in passing as "boring old Toledo", but Adelaide has a similar reputation: "the only cemetery in Australia that's lit up at night". I chose to live here despite growing up near Sydney. The trouble with the rat race is that even if you win, you're still a rat. This post was edited by Slartibartfast at May 30, 2022 7:32 AM MDT

    Ha, well said!

    Edit: I mean, easy for Lily Tomlin to say. Much better coming from an umpire. This post was edited by Danilo_G at May 29, 2022 12:30 PM MDT

    Jackie Gleason, and he may not have coined it either but he said it while Tomlin was still in elementary school.

    (I met Lily Tomlin. And we hugged. I posted a Statement or Question about it somewhere on the site at some time.)

    Very nice capture of the reflection on still water.

    The river is usually not that calm.

    That would be my guess.  Is this a busy dock right in town?

    We have the second largest shipping port on the Great Lakes. That is a cargo vessel steaming toward some grain elevators.

    Cool, but it’s still Toledo. I have never picked on Toledo, but you asked for it!

    Hey, it's probably not the worst Toledo in the world.
