A guy I know who lives up in Virginia sent me this excellently cool picture. I know some guys here are interested in trains and maybe some are also interested in steamships. This expands to make a cool desktop if you select the stretch mode rather than the center mode. I have some others of old Chesapeake Bay and Albemarle Sound steamers if anyone is interested.

I met this guy when my Father and uncle and I went sailing up through the Intracoastal Waterway all the way to Annapolis, Baltimore and Saint Michaels. I don't think this dude is gay or even bi, but he's really a nice person. You know how sometimes you just click with another guy, and it's not sexual at all? We talked for hours about boats and yacht design and school. He goes to private school in Maryland.

Enjoy!

Dear Jon,

I'm a member of an excellent group called the Steam Boat Association. Most of the boats are a lot smaller than the boat in your picture, but their site has pictures of boats that make me wish I was rich!

I was introduced to it by a man who owned two steam boats and so I've had rides on them. Seriously cool, especially since they are almost silent (those with condensers and some of them can go really fast.

Have a look at: http://www.steamboat.org.uk/

Love
Anthony
