the great American dream

---------------------

We are enjoying a sunny, but cooler day.  This is a picture of Au Train Island and Au Train Bay, Lake Superior.

A slideshow of five color photos taken during our fieldtrip to Marquette is available.  You can Click Here or you can reach it at the top of the Photo Album page.

"The dream I'm referring to in the book, of course, is the great American dream: prosperity, property, prestige, etc.  And the fact that it'll kill you dead.  Striving for it is a disaster.  Attaining it is a killer.  It takes many forms, and the results are not happy.  It's not a feel-good thing." 

- "Requiem for a Dream" author Hubert Selby Jr.
