So, How Did The Inaugural "Crossing" Go For The Newly-Expanded Panama Canal? -- Apparently, Well -- June 26, 2016

See this post for the answer to the question.

In addition, in case you missed it, from an earlier post:  research study looks at nine US ports (East Coast and Houston) -- how they have prepared for the Panama Canal expansion.  Port of Savannah is already receiving these ships. The Port of Baltimore is the second East Coast port to be fully prepared for Panama Canal expansion. Port of Houston, ready, but congested. Port of Miami is accessible but infrastructure (intermodal system, waterside improvements) lacking.

Handicapping The Water Polo Teams

Handicapping the water polo teams before placing one's bets.
This was a two-day north Texas water polo tournament. Our older granddaughter, who turns 13 this summer, is on the 18-and-under team, and on the 14-and-under team. Exceptional players on the 12-and-under teams (where she started) can be "pulled" up to the 14-and-under, and rarely, even to the 18-and-under. 14-and-under can be coed teams, but 18-and-under are unisex.
