My favorite epitath. . .Perhaps a little bitter?

As I am now
So you must be
Prepare for death

Delaware City was built at the head of the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal, connecting the Delaware River and the Chesapeake Bay. Grand plans for Delaware City never came to fruition as the railroads took over just as the canal was finished. Now it is just a quaint backwater town.
Lock from the old canal system. Almost forgot my sunglasses.
