September 02: Hard by a gas station, donut shop, fast
food palace, and West Marine, at the foot of Ontario Street
on the Niagara River in the Black Rock section of Buffalo,
a few minutes from the house, stands a planted anchor
of gigantic proportions. It has a large ring in its nose
and a wooden crosspiece. X marks the spot where this once
noble nautical gem has fallen by the roadside.
