Today I came across a site at Milford (CT) harbor where a submarine is displayed to honor Milford citizen Simon Lake who invented the first even-keeled submarine. The shop he worked in is still standing--behind a funeral parlor on the Milford green.

Today I expressed my gratitude to civil war veterans at a wreath-laying ceremony at City Point in New Haven CT. The pouring rain stopped just as the ceremony started and began again as it ended. When everyone left I placed a flower.

November 10
Today I toured a bed-and-breakfast built around 1800 near Milford harbor. Civil War sailors stayed in the upstairs bedrooms.

November 4th. Drove I-95 to Rt. 287 to White Plains. Found the cannon that was used to prevent British troops from advancing further almost exactly 250 years ago to the day. Drove home along Rt. 1 (Post Road) and saw a marker at a home where Israel Putnam hid out in. Also saw black squirrels (they're cute). I'll go back to that home another day. Also saw where the Westport Country Playhouse is and the road to take down to Compo Beach where the British landed on their way to burn Danbury in the Rev. War. Will go back there another day when I have more time.
