"May they be at the right hand of God". I discovered the monument at the Columbia Canal today, which also reads: "They were indentured to the river they linked." In Memory of the Irish Who Built the Canal.
When Boofa and I start out, it is 58 degrees with a cloud cover and fog. There is a pleasant heavy moisture in the air. The canal today is a smooth slate brown. Through the trees, there are dogwoods blooming, jasmine, red buds and the tiny white blossoms on red tips. Down on the Congaree rocks there are upwards of 60 cormorants. We turn a bend and there are 60 more. A man tells me he thinks they are anhingas.
By the time, we leave, it is 68 degrees. The sky is blue. The clouds have parted and gone away.
