Perryopolis
Perryopolis is a borough in southwestern Pennsylvania located along state highway 51, and mostly on the east side thereof. At its center is Washington Square, which includes eight points. In other words, the square may be approached from the north, south, east, and west, along with all of the diagonal directions. A few blocks east of the square is Harry Sampey Park, just south of which is a grist mill once owned by George Washington. The park includes a large pavilion.

Old Hanna's Town
Located north of present-day Greensburg, Hanna's Town was founded by Robert Hanna in 1773 and served as the seat of Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. It was the site of the first English court west of the Allegheny Mountains. In 1782, in one of the last battles of the American Revolution, British troops and Indians burned the place down. The county seat was subsequently moved to Greensburg. Today, the reconstructed town sits at the intersection of two roads, each of which leads to U.S. highway 119. The present site includes Hanna's Tavern, which in its original incarnation was also used as the court.
The Johnstown Flood Memorial
Johnstown, Pennsylvania is known for being devastated by a flood that occurred on May 31, 1889. The flood was caused by the failure of the South Fork Dam, which had previously helped to contain a reservoir named Lake Conemaugh, along the south fork of the Conemaugh River. The Johnstown Flood Memorial, including a visitor center and the remains of the dam, is located about nine miles east of Johnstown. In the lower level of the visitor center is this bell, from a church that was destroyed in the flood.
Some Stories While Traveling
I've been doing a bit of sightseeing in Pennsylvania, which cuts into my time for picking up stories and relaying them here. But even so, here are a few things worth passing along:

Justice Kennedy To Retire, And Other Stories
Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy has announced his retirement, effective on July 31st. He has been a member of the court for 30 years, and has 43 years total judicial experience. He will turn 82 during July, the second oldest of the current nine justices. Nominated by President Reagan in 1988, Kennedy has been called a "moderate" and a "swing vote".

The ban, which has been mischaracterized as a "Muslim ban", applies to Iran, North Korea, Syria, Libya, Yemen, Somalia and Venezuela, and had been previously applied to Chad.

Links For A Rainy Travel Day
I've spent much of today driving down to Virginia to the house which had belonged to my parents, to join my siblings for a bit of cleaning. On the way down here, I endured lots of wet weather, and an interstate highway turning into a parking lot about 10 miles from my destination. Fortunately, the almost parked traffic crept along to an exit which allowed me to escape. Unfortunately, there were a few stoplights to deal with, but at least those lived up to the old saying "good things come to those who wait". But while my day was different from the normal routine, the world, as noted by not one, but two Fleetwood Mac songs, kept on turning. Here are some of the things that went on:
From Voice Of Europe, a German "refugees welcome" activist, after boarding a truck with Moroccan license plates, is found dead in Spain. (If you read German, read the story at the Bild.)
From Sputnik International, Swedish farmers are accused of racism for supporting the Swedish World Cup soccer team by arranging blue and yellow hay bails to resemble the Swedish flag. (The story comes via Voice Of Europe. As far as I'm concerned, the accusers deserve the "stupid people" label.)
From the Express, German Chancellor Merkel is "humiliated" as Italy blocks a proposal ahead of the "mini-summit" to discuss migration.
From France24, Italy and Malta refuse to allow a Dutch-flagged ship to dock in their ports.
From UPI, Italy will seize a migrant ship for "illegally" flying the Dutch flag. (Turn it away or seize it? Which is it, Italy?)

From VRT, a teenage boy is detained for allegedly assaulting a bus driver.
From the Evening Standard, Airbus threatens to pull out of the U.K. if there is a "no-deal" Brexit.
From Today, a party leader in Malaysia calls "fake news" a signal that the end times are near. (Like Christians, Muslims have beliefs about when the end of the world is near.)
From Yahoo News, British Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn promises that a government led by himself would recognize a Palestinian state.
From Reuters, Indonesia sentences an ISIS-linked cleric to death for masterminding terror attacks.
From The Jerusalem Post, a German Islamic center reportedly "raises money for Hezbollah".
From Middle East Monitor, Tunisian clerics say that Hajj money pays for Saudi Arabia's wars.

Charles Krauthammer 1950-2018
Charles Krauthammer, the conservative columnist and commentator, has died of cancer at age 68. Earlier this month, he indicated that he had weeks to live. He had undergone an operation to remove a tumor from his abdomen in August 2017.
Charles Krauthammer was born in New York City to a father who came from Bolekhiv, Austria-Hungary (now in Ukraine) and a mother who came from Belgium, both of whom were Orthodox Jews. The family moved to Montreal, where he would graduate from McGill University in 1970. After studying as a Commonwealth Scholar at Balliol College, Oxford, he attended medical school at Harvard. During his first year at Harvard, he was injured in a diving board accident, which resulted in 14 months of hospitalization and a wheelchair for the rest of his life. He was still able to graduate in 1975, after which he became a resident in psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital. In 1978, he moved to Washington, D.C. where he became a speech writer for Vice President Walter Mondale and a contributor to The New Republic. He was board certified in psychiatry in 1984.
Krauthammer joined The New Republic in 1981, and would later write for The Washington Post, The Weekly Standard, Time and Inside Washington. He won a Pulitzer Prize for a column written for The Washington Post in 1985. He served as a contributor to Fox News, but discontinued his service to Fox and his Post column due to his battle with cancer in 2017. Although often called conservative, he realized during his time at McGill that he didn't like political extremism from either side. His Post columns were called "hard to peg politically" by editorial page editor Meg Greenfield.
Krauthammer is survived by his wife Robyn, who has been a lawyer and an artist, and by their son Daniel.
