Default On Topic: Edgar Allen's birthday...

...
Edgar Allen Poe was born on this day in 1809. Boats play a prominent
role in much of his writing. Here's an example.

"Upon reaching the wharf, I noticed a scythe and three spades, all
apparently new, lying in the bottom of the boat in which we were to

embark."

Edgar Allen Poe's "The Gold Bug."

House I grew up in was built on property of the former home of Edgar's
niece. Her death looked like it could be out of a Poe novel. She filled
the house with old tires and torched and herself.
