Today, August 15, marks the 104th anniversary of the opening of the Panama Canal.

In 1974, negotiations toward a settlement began and resulted in the Torrijos–Carter Treaties. On September 7, 1977, the treaty was signed by President of the United States Jimmy Carter and Omar Torrijos, de facto leader of Panama. This mobilized the process of granting the Panamanians free control of the canal so long as Panama signed a treaty guaranteeing the permanent neutrality of the canal. The treaty led to full Panamanian control effective at noon on December 31, 1999, and the Panama Canal Authority (ACP) assumed command of the waterway. The Panama Canal remains one of the chief revenue sources for Panama.

Someone just posted this on FB - from our Christmas Parade back in '1972. The girl on the float (Betty)'s father owned one of our drug stores - right on Canal Street (our main street on the mainland). You can see it behind the float, in fact. I went out with her sometime in the next 12 months after this pic was taken. Looking back - it was another situation I was too young and stupid to realize what could have been. She had a beautiful personality and was as you can see very cute. I think she ended up getting married not long after we dated. Oh well......

Older aerial pic of my city. I finished high school (10.5-12) here. Our old high school can be seen at the far right about 1/3 down - with the track behind it. It was torn down and replaced by the Marine Discovery Center. The new high school location is on the mainland not visible in this pic. Our football games are played out behind the airport on the north side of town at the sports complex, also not visible in the pic. I live a bit past the lower right corner further up the Intercoastal.

The North Bridge - today - looking west. (not my photo...taken by a friend)

In the photo above, it's the bridge at the bottom of the photo. You can see the orange colour of the grating part that lifts up and down, if you look closely. Or just right click and choose "view image' which will enlarge the photo.

The other bridge you see (the South Bridge) is a high-rise - no draw.

We got some welcome rain today after about a week of dry weather. Came in very late so didn't interfere with any work I had to get done.

Apparently there is a submarine lurking in the foreground.

Nope. Nuh-uh. No-sir. No way I'm putting myself in a position to be able to take that picture.
