The dog days of summer are here!
This is my favourite time of year,next to winter in Florida http://www.visitflorida.com/
Its hot as hell at night in the SHAWA......so to cool off everybody heads down to
Port Oshawa http://portofoshawa.ca/index.html
I was watching the unloading of a large lake freighter and it made me reminisce.
Cranes,stevedores,FAS,FOB,cargo,dry goods and olde units of measurements. Like pints and yards and chains and Hogsheads! There was a time when a man could go down to the harbour and haul home a hogshead of Molasses and a bushel of chickens to make some..............................
