Walking around Philadelphia, you may come upon an occasional manhole cover stamped with STEAM, a Round marker of Center City's district steam system. Built by the Edison Electric Light Company in 1889, the system is a vast network of pipes that run under sidewalks throughout the city, delivering pressurized steam at a constant 450 degree temperature from various generation plants to hundreds of buildings for heating, cooling and hot water. Still in operation today, the 33 miles of pipe make this the third largest district steam heating system in the United States.

What is under the hotel porch? Well, someone needs to go check it out. Beyond the cobwebs and the darkness there's a little Round glimmer of light from the drain in the corner. OK. Now let's leave.

The prep for the Schmidt Tennis Tournament will include some work on the clay courts to touch-up around edges, patch some low spots, and give the surface a good roll with this steel cylinder Round.

If you lean back far enough in your rocking chair, you can stare at the porch ceiling for awhile. There's a light up there. A moth. A few spiders.

It's about 82 and breezy on Thursday afternoon. A good day for a hike and a picnic on Mt. Kearsarge. Maybe we'll head out that way.

Down at Garden Gate is the unofficial community center. Over the years its been the hub of activity by day and night and later in the night. A pit stop when walking down to the lake. Taking a break with friends after golf. Venting a few thoughts by the fire. Having a beverage or... two.
