As I type this, I'm sick. My head is congested, my nose is plugged up (which I guess is better than running), and I'm just pretty drained.
What does this have to do with a photo of my father and his dog? Well, we had just left my sister's house where we were both outside hooking up a battery charger to her car because it wouldn't start, then when we got home Kristy, my father's dog, wanted to go for a walk.
As you can see, it's now winter here in Michigan. My father probably had a two t-shirts on, long sleeve button up on, military issue winter coat, gloves, and a wool hat on in this photograph. Me? I had a white t-shirt, button up, and a hoodie. No gloves. No multiple shirts. No hat. On top of that, Kristy insisted that I take her for a run around the block. I believe I wore her out, as she wasn't even able to keep up with slight jog.
Regardless, I feel this why I'm sick. I was ill prepared for the cold run. I want to think the coldness even shows in the photo as it's out of focus/motion blur because I wasn't able to even hold the camera steady for the slow exposure I had to shoot at as the sun was setting.
My birthday is tomorrow. All I want is better health than this, and hopefully a chance to shoot a photo. If that all happens wonderfully, maybe even a drink or two at the end of the night. Whiskey and coke? I believe that's the only way to keep warm during these cold months.

Bruce is a great friend of mine. He is the founding member of MX-80, and has preformed with the likes of Henry Kaiser and Steve Albini. It is an honor to have him as a friend and guitar mentor. Taken at Amoeba Holiday party 2020.

Bruce Low (1913-1990) was a Dutch schlager and gospel singer and actor who had an impressive career in West Germany and Austria.
Bruce Low was born Ernst Gottfried Bielke on a coffee plantation in Paramaribo, Surinam - then part of The Netherlands in 1913. He spent his childhood in Surinam together with his three sisters and brother. Their father, Hermann Moritz Bielke, worked as a missionary with the Herrnhuter Brüdergemeine. Their mother Lydia née Reusch was born in Hong Kong, her father came from Württemberg and was also a missionary. From 1921, Bruce attended grammar school in Zeist, the Netherlands, played tenor saxophone in the school jazz band and was a member of the local church choir. After his final exams in 1932, he studied sports at the Deutsche Hochschule für Leibesübungen (DHfL) in Berlin. But a serious injury while trampolining put an end to his studies as a sports teacher. Instead, he took singing lessons from the singing teacher Jacques Stückgold at the Hochschule für Musik. Low continued his studies in the Netherlands and also sang in a chamber choir. His performing career only took shape after the war. He organised shows for the Americans in the Netherlands, contracted music groups, was an emcee and sang spiritual songs, also for the radio. As a result, he was hired in 1949 for a show with African folk songs in Vienna. He appeared in front of the audience dressed as a black man with blackface in the Al Johnson manner and received an offer for a recording contract. His first records contained Western-style cowboy songs, such as '(Ghost) Riders in the Sky' and 'Heimweh nach Virginia'. In 1950, the man with the sonorous bass voice had his first success in Germany with 'Leise rauscht es am Missouri''. In 1953, more hits followed, such as 'So viel Wind und keine Sege'(So Much Wind and No Sail)" and his legendary 'Tabak und Rum' (Tobacco and Rum). Two years later, 'Das alte Haus von Rocky Docky', the cover version of 'This Ole House' became a box office hit. In 1956 he took third place in the newly created German Hit Parade with "Wenn die Sonne scheint in Texas" and climbed to second place with "Und es weht der Wind". His interpretation of the legendary hit "Es hängt ein Pferdehalfter an der Wand", a cover version of Carson Robison's song 'There's a Bridle Hangin' on the Wall', with which the Dutch band Kilima Hawaiians had already caused a furore in Germany in 1953, became his greatest success.
In 1958 Bruce Low took part in the preliminaries for the Eurovision Song Contest in the Netherlands, with 'Neem Dat Maar Aan Van Mij' but came in 10th. Bruce Low also made several guest appearances as a singer in the popular German-language musical entertainment films of the 1950s and 1960s, for example in Königin der Arena/Queen of the Arena (Rolf Meyer, 1952) with Maria Litto and Hans Söhnker, Wenn am Sonntagabend die Dorfmusik spielt/When The Village Music Plays on Sunday Nights (Rudolf Schündler, 1953) starring Rudolf Prack, or the operetta adaptation Blume von Hawaii/The Flower of Hawaii (Géza von Cziffra, 1953) starring Maria Litto. He also performed his hit songs in several Schlager films. As an actor he appeared in the successful drama Die endlose Nacht/The Endless Night (Will Tremper, 1963) a wounderful one-night-at-the-airport film with Karin Hübner and Harald Leipnitz. He later also appeared in two other films by Tremper, the comedy Sperrbezirk/Sperrbezirk, the business of immorality (Will Tremper, 1966) with Harald Leipnitz and Mir hat es immer Spaß gemacht/How Did a Nice Girl Like You Get Into This Business? (Will Tremper, 1970) starring Playboy bunny Barbi Benton and Broderick Crawford. After the stage musical 'Kiss me Kate' in the German translation by Marcel Prawy became an extraordinary success in the Wiener Volksoper, Prawy went to work on the Leonard Bernstein musical 'Wonderful Town' (1956), also in the Wiener Volksoper. Bruce Low played the lead role of Bob Baker as Olive Moorefield's partner.
The advancing rock and roll wave seemed to end his career, so Bruce Low started writing articles for the Munich magazine Jasmin under the pseudonym Thomas Gallauner. At the "Karl May Festival in Berlin he portrayed Old Shatterhand in 'Winnetou' (1966) and 'Der Schatz im Silbersee' (1968), alongside Gustavo Rojo as Winnetou. At the beginning of the 1970s, his voice was in demand again and he performed mainly new, partly traditional gospels. With songs such as 'Noah' (1971), 'Das Kartenspiel' (1974) and 'Die Legende von Babylon' (1978), he hit the charts once more. He appeared as a guest in several television broadcasts and was asked as a presenter for circus broadcasts. He also had several appearances in the ZDF quiz show Der große Preis. He returned to the cinemas in several films by Rainer Werner Fassbinder. First, he played in the TV two-parter Welt am Draht/World on a Wire (Rainer Werner Fassbinder, 1973) and later in the films Faustrecht der Freiheit/Fox and His Friends (Rainer Werner Fassbinder, 1975) and Die Ehe der Maria Braun/The Wedding of Maria Braun (Rainer Werner Fassbinder, 1979) starring Hanna Schygulla. In 1976 he participated again in the preliminaries of the Eurovision Song Contest, now in West Germany, with the song 'Der Jahrmarkt unserer Eitelkeit' (The Fair of Our Vanity). However, he only reached 9th place among twelve participants and the Les Humphries Singers participated for Germany with "Sing Sang Song and reached 12th place. In the 1980s it became quieter again around the singer. Two years before his death, he published his memoirs under the title: 'Es hängt ein Pferdehalfter an der Wand - das Lied meines Lebens'. In 1990, Bruce Lowe died after a long illness at the age of 76 in a Munich hospital. At his own request, the artist, who was married to wife Marion, had his body cremated and scattered in a meadow in the Netherlands.

Bruce Coaches Caetano Levante bodied Scania K410CB6 BV73ZTW is seen here heading out of Glasgow Buchanan Bus Station working the 182 to Birmingham.
The Bruce Tunnel is on the summit pound of the Kennet and Avon Canal between Wootton Top Lock and Crofton Locks in Wiltshire, England.
This is the only tunnel on the canal and it is 502 yards (459 m) long. It is named after Thomas Brudenell-Bruce, 1st Earl of Ailesbury (1729–1814), the local landowner, who, when the canal was being built, would not allow a deep cutting through his land, and insisted on a tunnel instead.

LAYOUT. SIGNE sleeps six in three owner's and guests' staterooms. Furthest aft is the full width master stateroom which is superbly lit by a large bevelled glass skylight. The queen-sized berth is to starboard with a settee to port. Storage is provided by a cedar-lined hanging locker and numerous drawers. The head/shower compartment is to port, forward of the settee area. There is a companionway giving direct access to the aft cockpit.
The two guest staterooms are next forward. The stateroom to port has a double berth and the stateroom to starboard has twin settee berths with a removable wood framed berth over the inboard settee. Each stateroom has an en suite head/shower compartment.
The saloon is beautifully joinered. Natural light and ventilation are provided by the magnificent 5 diameter decagonal bevelled glass skylight and other opening portlights, hatches and deck prisms. The L-shaped settee to starboard comfortably seats 12 around a convertible height koa wood table. Opposite is a lounging area with two armchairs and built-in fireplace. Bookcases, cabinets and lockers provide ample storage and house an entertainment centre.
To starboard of the companionway is a bar with sink, icemaker and crystal cabinet. The navigation area is aft and to port in the saloon.
The large galley is forward of the saloon to port. Opposite is the captain's cabin with double berth and en suite head/shower compartment. The excellent crew mess is forward of the galley and the crew cabin with upper and lower berths is opposite. The crew head and shower have separate compartments. There are additional crew berths in the fo'c'sle. A companionway gives direct access to the deck from the crew mess.
REMARKS. SIGNE is one of the most beautiful yachts to come from the creative and technical skills of Bruce King. Her building by Renaissance Yachts took 5 years and resulted in the creation of a work of art. Passers-by have to stop and gaze in awe at this truly magnificent yacht. Her transom has been photographed on countless occasions. Her beautiful skylights have been copied by others. Her outstanding interior joinery, designed by Joe Artese, is a blend of Hawaiian koa, bird's eye maple and olive wood, all combining with her teak soles, coachroof coamings and skylights and her beautifully laminated beams.
SIGNE's hull and decks are massively built from the wood/epoxy system and the hull is Dynel cloth sheathed. The structure is immensely strong and offers excellent insulation. She is a centreboarder, resulting in a minimum draft of not much over 8 /2.5m.
The choice of ketch rig with hydraulic furling to both masts and hydraulic furling headsails makes SIGNE easy on her crew and, although the masts are of alloy, the long booms are traditionally built of spruce.
SIGNE, in present ownership, has been successfully chartered in Mediterranean and Caribbean waters, as well as for owner cruising.
Her maintenance has been to MCA "Large Yacht Code of Practice" certification. Her last major 5 Year MCA Survey/Refit was conducted in Portsmouth (South coast of England) and ran from October through November 2010. Procedures undertaken included:
" Rig pulled, dye tested, X Rayed. Furlers were rebuilt as applicable.
" 150 m of 18mm chain re-galvanised.
" New RFD 6 person canister packed life raft purchased
" All tanks cleaned for MCA inspection.
" All skin fittings removed, MCA inspected, serviced as appropriate or replaced.
Other up-gradings and replacements as described in this listing include a new suit of sails just ordered from Quantum.
Although SIGNE's MCA status has been maintained, she had not been subjected to a Condition Survey for several years. That, and with sale in mind, the owners elected to commission the respected surveyor, Roby Scalvini, Principal of Marine Survey Bureau in Palma de Mallorca, to conduct a Condition Survey afloat. The procedure took place on 21-22 November 2012 and the subsequent Report was issued on 30 November 2012.
Generously the owners will offer sight to seriously interested potential purchasers of the entire Report which includes the Surveyor's Findings and Recommendations, together with 12 photographs and 3 Spectro (Marine) Oil Analysis Reports.
