Welcome to the campfire. I am glad to hear that another Sci-Fi fan has arrived!!!
Although I no longer live on the Mississippi River, I've spent a lot of time growing up in a mississippi River town (Vidalia, La) and I spent a lot of my time living and sailing upon the Mississippi River.
There are a few towboaters that come here!!
