Three views of Spring Lake from a wide circumnavigation Monday.
Spring Lake from the boat launch. Spring Lake from the hill seen in the last pic. Spring Lake from levee #2. I walked all three levees on this hike. Map of my hike around Spring Lake. Pic 1 was at the start/finish (green dot); pic 2 was walking around the hilltop (right side of map); pic 3 was from Levee #2 (long-ish straight-ish line upper right).

"Little Billy," the Who (1968)

Anti-smoking ad commissioned but never aired by the American Cancer Society. Little Billy is overweight but he doesn't smoke so he outlives his classmates. Compelling!

"Bus Rider," the Guess Who.
