Because sometimes I like watching big scoops of mud being dredged and dumped

At the boat ramp at the mouth of the Guyandotte River in Huntington WV this morning, after I dropped Adam off at band camp.

For anyone who cares, Adam is a freshman in high school this fall. He got off the bus for his last day of school this past Thursday at 4:05 p.m. or thereabouts, and he showed up for band orientation at 7 p.m. the next day. This summer will be busier than last summer. Which is good.
