The swinging suspension bridge spanning the fast and powerful St. Louis River
I
just followed the signs to the bridge
It
took some planning and legwork to get this image
What
a beautiful bridge that has been rebuilt several times in the past one hundred
years
On

Only the brave and experienced white water kayak on
those swift waters

There are many educational and fun activities that take
place in this park

displays, bathrooms, and vending machines.

My Rainbow Center ice cream sundae on Monday
As someone who is ecologically minded, I bring my own banana
split bowl that I bought at a nearby Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites Duluth
surplus sale.
However, as only five ice cream treats were bought
today, there will be no ice cream served at the Rainbow Center until spring of
2017!

without any visible reason as to why it is there.

Why I’m proud I earned my Eagle Scout award!
A relative that I respect has given
me advice for rewriting my resume. I
have taken this person’s advice with the exception of taking out my reference
to my Eagle Scout award.
First, this is an award that is the
equivalent to a two-year college degree.
Youthful boys learn many worthwhile skills, learn to deal with many
people, and partake in many scouting events on their way to earning this award.
Second, one out of one hundred boys
that enter scouting earn the Eagle Scout award or a graduation rate of one percent. In contrast to this, the United States Army
Ranger School has
a graduation rate of around fifty percent.
Third, while the Eagle Scout is both
an award and an achievement; it is a testament to my character as a
person. That is why earning an Eagle
Scout award is such a major asset to my resume.
Eagle Scout and Defense Secretary Robert
M. Gates had this to say about scouting.
And those are the reasons why I’m proud
to keep my Eagle Scout award on my resume until the day that I retire from my
working life.
