Nay Aug Falls
Nay Aug Falls on Saturday afternoon. Haven't been down here since that lady's dog knocked me down and almost crippled me. Park now has a slightly unkempt look.

Remember the Maine
USS Maine monument in Scranton's Nay Aug Park.
On February 15, 1898 the USS Maine was attacked by Spain in Havana harbor, killing 254 American sailors. War with Spain was declared on April 25, 1898. On May 1, 1898 Commodore Dewey gave his famous command, "You may fire when ready, Gridley," The Spanish fleet in the Pacific was reduced to floating matchsticks in a matter of a few hours.
On July 1, 1898 Colonel Theodore Roosevelt led his Rough Riders up Kettel Hill capturing Spanish positions in Cuba. The press misnamed Kettle Hill as San Juan Hill. Nonetheless Roosevelt became a national hero.
By the time the war ended in August 1898, Spain was no longer a major world power. It was as John Hay wrote, "A splendid little war."

Nay Aug Falls
An undated postcard of Nay Aug Falls.
In case anyone was wondering what happened to the weekly falls photo: On November 9, I was knocked down in the park by a large dog. This incident triggered some major back problems which have necessitated back surgery. Hopefully once we clear that hurdle with the disability people the surgery will happen soon. I'm hoping the recovery period is relatively short so I can get back outside. These last eight weeks have been a living hell for me and my wife, especially coming during the holidays, No Christmas for us, no tree, trains, etc. It would have been nice to get an apology from the lady with the dog, but she was long gone by the time I was able to regain my footing.
Update: Had the surgery on January 13, home recovering, hope to be out and about soon.
