Workforce Alignment workshop "Building strong partnerships to support Wisconsin’s workforce need." A conversation hosted by UW Oshkosh, Department of Workforce Development, Fox Valley Tech and WAICU.
President Mote has proposed yet another alignment (blue) in addition to his earlier Stadium Drive proposal (orange).
Here is an old-school tire shop in the city of Hollister, population 41,678. Photographically, I like the look of an old tire shop, but I never get a good picture. This one's good enough.
The fact that they handle "alignment" is a really weak jumping point (Covid brain fog) to discuss Hollister's place in the world of geology, because there are some fairly significant things going on here.
This town is one of the best places in the world to observe something called "aseismic creep." That does not refer to somebody who stalks but not in an earthshaking way. It refers to smoother-than-normal sliding movement along a transform fault, otherwise known as a strike-slip fault. You know, like the San Andreas I talked about several weeks ago. In Hollister's case, the San Andreas is about five miles west of town, but there's a branching fault called the Calaveras that runs right through here. And while most of the San Andreas moves in fits and starts, stuttering along in big earthquakes that release a lot of built-up stress all at once, the Calaveras releases that stress constantly, in a slow, creeping, constant movement. In short, the fault never gets stuck in a way that winds up jumping 20 feet in 45 seconds. It slides more gently along a few millimeters per year. It flows.
This means the Calaveras Fault, in its current condition, won't experience some big break that rattles the entire state with a 7.0 on the Richter Scale. But it also means that there are streets in town that are slowly but constantly moving past each other. Streets wind up offset. Curbs and sidewalks break. Houses get twisted, if they're built in the wrong spot.
I don't have a picture of any of this, because we didn't want to devote the time into looking for it. If I ever come back here, I'll hunt that down.

Sometimes the most playful structures offer the most precise geometry. Shot on Day 20 of my 100 Photos in 100 Days challenge, this image captures a row of monkey bars locked in symmetrical alignment—each ring framing the next in an optical tunnel of anticipation. It’s about focus, rhythm, and the memory of movement. You can almost feel the swing between each grip.
22.09.89. The world's first commercial application of Maglev technology, connecting Birmingham airport with the railway station/exhibition centre. It opened in 1984 and closed in 1995, but this elevated alignment is still used today by a cable-hauled shuttle system which opened in 2003.

Invitation #2 for Total Alignment free workshop on Dirty Footprints Studio. Balance
I really enjoyed the process of this one! I started with random shapes and colors and just tried to completely relax into listening to what the painting was calling for. Soon, shapes flowed together into a woman. Circles turned into planets and a sun.
I put a small mark on the rim of the element group showing where it separated from the threads in relation to Top Dead Center (TDC).
