Ken McRae from Little Rock, Arkansas, sent this beautiful picture from the Delta Queen just after passing the Helena, Arkansas, Mississippi River bridge on the evening of November 1, 2008. Doesn’t she look like a brand new vessel in this wonderful evening sunlight? Hey, Congress, she’s not ready to go, don’t you see this?
