I cycled Hwy. #33 before noon, skirting Lake Ontario, until I got to Hubbs Creek Road, and then I was drawn to turn right. Up and over a hill, and I came upon this serenely beautiful pond. Then north to Greer Rd., and east to the Millenium Trail to home.
Unbeknowst to me, a 5 year old German boy visiting Canada had gotten lost the evening before in the huge corn fields just a short distance further on at the east end of Swamp College Road. He had run into the corn field after arguing with a parent. Dozens of local & non-local volunteers, helicopter, police, ambulances, TV trucks, national defense personal from Trenton - all these I had to pass slowly on my way to work. Their faces had such a tragic look to them that I was overwhelmed, and cried.
At 7 pm, he was found. Guten naght.
