Contractor Norman Hudson called me on February 18, 2021 to tell me he was in line to get the first dose of the Covid-19 vaccine. He died two days later, at 77 years of age. He thus fulfilled his often-expressed desire never to retire.

It must be Spring as nests are popping up all over. This Great White Egret is bringing a finely selected stick back with him. I wonder if that is for the Living room or one of the Bedrooms...
Have a great weekend Everyone!
Contractors working on the new Mississippi River Bridge at Lansing Iowa imploded the center and east spans of the old Black Hawk Bridge on December 19th, 2025, severing the 94-year connection of this classic truss structure. The bridge was originally to remain open while it's replacement was completed, but issues with too much movement of the old bridge while the new was being constructed nearby meant that it was closed a couple years earlier than originally intended.
The classic bridge has long been an interesting experience to cross for generations of area residents, and a neat bridge to photograph. Since it's demise was well-publicized, on a recent trip to La Crosse in early December I took the "long way 'round" and got a chance to see it one last time. Conveniently I arrived town right as a CPKC train 883 did - coal loads for the Portage, WI power plant, with the rear DPU seen shoving under the west span. The bridge has been a great prop and occasional photo platform for lots of railroad photographers over the years.
Some "drop under" sunlight on a crisp winter morning helped to light up the old bridge nicely. Out on the water, the barge pushing away from the camera is a construction barge, but the small one in the center right coming towards us is the temporary car ferry the DOT is utilizing as a replacement for the bridge. It's free and runs roughly every half hour in each direction - if you are in the area I highly recommend taking a ride across sometime in the next year or so as the new bridge takes shape above it's path. And there aren't many chances to ride on the upper Mississippi River for free!
When the bridge was imploded, they left the west span and will remove that with more typical methods because it spans the railroad and is near houses. The new bridge is starting to take shape behind the pier seen in this photo, and will have a similar truss look to the old structure (the result of a big push by the local community that actually influenced the DOT to change the design from a more standard arch bridge type early on in their planning). But since it won't have a deck of open-grate metal you could see down through, nor the suddenly vertical break-over on either side of the main center arch span that gave one a bit of a jolt when driving over it, the new bridge will likely lack a bit of the "character" of the old.
Contractors have begun to clear the rubble, weeds and new grown trees from behind the fences in preparation for restoration on 41 arches to begin.
The MJRX SD18 No. 7314 sits outside of the Railway Service Contractors, Inc. shops in Kansas City, KS. It's been released, and in the coming days, it'll be interchanged to the UP, eventually making its way to a grain elevator in Mead, NE.
Though it's not currently wearing the flashiest paint scheme ever, the SD18 is a rare bird. Out of the 114 that were, only 54 were for American railroads while the other 60 were for export.
This engine was built 60 years ago for the Chesapeake & Ohio as the CO No. 1814. It later became the CO No. 7314 and repainted in Chessie System colors before being sold to the Tennessee Southern Railroad.
The Indiana Railroad acquired it, and it was once again sold to North Iowa Rail Holdings as the IBCX No. 7314 and leased to the Iowa Northwestern as the IANW No. 7314, all the while keeping its INRD paint.
It's most recently been used as a switcher at grain elevators, being used by Debruce Grain at Catoosa, OK and Gavilon Grain in Wichita, KS. Gavilon traded this to Railway Service Contractors last year for an SD40T-2. When this arrived here, it still wore its weathered INRD paint. 2/5/23.

Ok, So I've had this Fuji X100F for a couple of weeks now and can't make up my mind if I love it or hate it. On the plus side it's small, mirrorless and inconspicuous, meaning I can get away with a bit more street photography without being glared at!
However, the ergonomics of the camera are painful. The grip if far to small, and as a result it's easy to accidentally knock one of the four buttons on the command dial. I've disabled two of them, but it's impossible to disable the "drive" button. As a result today I managed to knock the camera into "filters" mode without realizing it and spent 10 minutes trying to work out what I'd done. Somehow it also switch from raw mode to jpg mode at the same time which I didn't realize until I got home, at which point I gave the camera a stream of four letter words.
Another ruthless killer.
Have a great time guys.Thank you for visit.

In the mid-1920s, a series of unfortunate events befell the town of Boynton. Plans for a new hotel were abandoned by Addison Mizner and his brother Wilson who eventually built the Cloister Inn in Boca Raton. in 1925, citrus canker was discovered in the town’s orange groves which led to their destruction. The town also began to suffer from severe financial problems resulting in the bank refusing to honor checks signed by the City Clerk and salaries for municipal staff being cut by up to 50%. The Florida Land Boom was beginning to wane at this time and two hurricanes in 1926 and 1928, caused extensive damage which added to the town’s problems. As the Depression hit, Boynton’s financial problems continued to mount and, in 1929, the Bank of Boynton failed.
Concerned residents from the east side of the Intracoastal Waterway were worried about the debt and informed the town they wished to separate from Boynton and start a new municipality. When bond holders began to press for payment on nearly $1 million of indebtedness, Boynton and the eastside residents reached an agreement whereby, upon assumption of half of the debt, a new municipality would be established on the east side of the waterway. The agreement was finalized in on April 17, 1931 with the formation of Boynton on the west side of the canal, and Boynton Beach on the east. In 1939, the Town of Boynton Beach changed its name to Ocean Ridge and, within two years, the Town of Boynton changed its name to the Town of Boynton Beach.
Before a bridge was built over the East Coast Canal (now the Intracoastal Waterway), crossings were made by means of a hand-operated lighter (barge) located at Ocean Avenue. Once on board, passengers would haul on a chain to pull the lighter to the other side.
The first bridge was built over the canal at Ocean Avenue in 1911. The wooden swing bridge was operated by a crank in the center section, pushed by the bridge-tender walking in a circle until it swung open. In 1924, the bridge-tenders were Wilbur and Jessie Forrey. Jessie would crank the bridge while Wilbur lowered a chain across the canal and collected the toll.
Construction of a new bridge began in 1935. The bridge was constructed from steel and was operated with a Scherzer rolling lift bascule, which was an unusual movable span found in only two other bridges in Florida. The span was designed by William Scherzer of Chicago and built by the Nashville Bridge Company. As the bridge was financed with Depression era relief funds given by the Federal Government, the design of the bridge was very plain3. The bridge was 121 feet long, 31 feet wide and carried two narrow lanes of traffic with sidewalks on each side.
In 1970, project development started for the construction of a new bridge at Boynton Beach Boulevard; however, a property owner who would have been impacted by the bridge relocation filed suit and the resulting arbitration ruled in his favor. The project was put on hold for several years and then two proposals were studied. The first was to relocate the new bridge to Boynton Beach Boulevard and the second was to replace the bridge on Ocean Avenue. In 1994, the permit for the Boynton Beach Boulevard bridge was rejected which left the Ocean Avenue proposal as the only option,
Construction of the new bridge started in November 1998 and the project was completed in March, 2001.

Golden Gate Bridge under the middle arch.
The Coconut Grove Playhouse was a theatre in the Coconut Grove neighborhood of Miami, Florida, United States. The building was originally constructed as a movie theater called the Player's State Theater. It opened on January 3, 1927, as a part of the Paramount chain. The movie house was designed by the architect Richard Kiehnel of Kiehnel and Elliott. It was built by local realtors Irving J. Thomas and Fin L. Pierce. Albert Peacock was the contractor.
The theater was renowned as the second movie theatre on the east coast of Florida to be air conditioned and having the largest Wurlitzer organ in the United States. It was used for a variety of shows until closing in 2006. It has not been used since. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2018.
In the 1950s George Engle, an oilman, bought it and spent over $1 million (equivalent to $47 million in 2017) in renovations having the architect Alfred Browning Parker convert it to a live theatre. It reopened on January 3, 1956 with the US premiere of Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot, starring Bert Lahr and Tom Ewell.
In the fifty years that have followed, the Playhouse has played host to many of theater's most renowned performers, including Maureen Stapleton, Hume Cronyn, Jessica Tandy, Eve Arden, Tallulah Bankhead, Carol Channing, Liza Minnelli, Linda Lavin, Bea Arthur, George C. Scott, Colleen Dewhurst, Ethel Merman, and Raúl Esparza.
Between 1964 and 1965, The Coconut Grove Playhouse was used by The Miami Actors Company, which was meant to be an extension of the National Theatre and Academy. The brainchild of Ilse Earl, who taught theatre classes at Miami Dade College, launched this effort. Only 20 actors from Miami and surrounding areas were chosen to become part of this historic event, out of more than 100 or so of those who were asked to audition.
The company was reviewed by The Miami Herald theatre critic at that time. Shows involved, among others, were J.B. by Archibald MacLeish; All the Way Home by Tad Mosel; and Slow Dance on the Killing Ground by William Hanley. Slow Dance was a hurried replacement which had to be put in place within ten days of rehearsal, replacing Hogan's Goat.
In 1982, actor-director José Ferrer was named Artistic Director, and under his supervision the Playhouse gained a reputation as one of the nation's leading theatres. In 1985, Arnold Mittelman was selected after a national search to succeed Mr. Ferrer. Among the productions that premiered here prior to a Broadway opening are Neil Simon’s The Sunshine Boys, starring Jack Klugman and Tony Randall, and Urban Cowboy. Sherry Glaser’s Family Secrets moved to off-Broadway and became its longest running one-woman show. The Playhouse presented the world premiere of Fame: The Musical, which went on to great success in Baltimore, Philadelphia, and London’s West End, and mounted a revival of Death of a Salesman, starring Hal Holbrook and Elizabeth Franz, prior to a national tour. The theatre now has two stages, the 1700-seat proscenium Mainstage Theater and the intimate 100-seat Encore Room Theater.
The Playhouse provided a broad range of programs for all ages, including the In-School Touring Program, which presented plays aimed at students in grades six through twelve, Lizard Lessons, original plays with music for kindergarten through third grade, a Summer Theater Camp for teens, and Theater Stages, which teaches acting techniques, playwriting, costume and scenery design, and improvisation to children, teens, and adult performers.
On November 22, 1996, Late Show with David Letterman originated from the theater. It was the last episode of the show not to originate from New York.
The Coconut Grove Playhouse closed in 2006 due to an accumulated debt, which many believed was due to the high operating costs of running the large 1,130-seat theatre. The theatre remains closed to this date. In January 2014, however, Miami-Dade County received permission from the State of Florida to take over the building.
At the time of the Miami-Dade County takeover, there were several ideas for the use of the space. The current plan approved by the State of Florida is for a 300-seat theatre at the venue to be operated by GableStage, a renowned South Florida theatre company currently operating in a 150-seat theatre at the historic Biltmore Hotel. GableStage would work in association with Florida International University and their theatre department, working with them to provide students there with professional, real world experience. At the time of the approval, the City of Miami government waived 1.5 million dollars worth of previously accumulated building violation fees.
This plan was rivaled by a proposal for creating a 700-seat theatre at the space. The group presenting this proposal was led by Mike Eidson, trust chairman at the Adrienne Arsht Center, a large performance complex in downtown Miami. Eidson's involvement in the deal was separate from his position at the Arsht Center. Kevin Spacey was cited as a backer of the plan, with Eidson claiming that he would be interested in serving as an advisor in the project and possibly working as an artistic director upon reopening. Spacey worked in a similar position in reviving London's Old Vic Theatre. This proposal was not passed, however it is still being considered as an option. A county chairman encouraged Eidson to "postpone" his plans, suggesting that the idea is not completely out of sight.
The 700-seat theatre option has received mixed reviews. Ann Anthony, executive director of Miami's Mad Cat Theatre Company, is one of the plan's many opponents. She cited the difficulty of filling a large theatre and the presence of two large theatres nearby, the Miracle Theatre and the venues at the Adrienne Arsht Center. Many people support the plan though, hoping that with Kevin Spacey's backing that the theatre could bring in big stars and become a prominent regional theatre once again.[
After a long bidding process between 9 architecture firms, Miami-Dade county commissioners voted for Arquitectonica to restore the venue and bring it up to current building codes. $20 million in voter-approved bond money has been set aside to fund this project. The building is deemed a historical landmark so it cannot be fully demolished, but many residents are concerned that much of the building will not be preserved.
Preservation architect Richard Heisenbottle sketched a plan for the restoration of the venue that could fit the smaller 300-seat space and the 700-seat theatre proposed by Eidson, and keep most of the original exterior. Upon this development, Arquitectonica was tasked with looking into the budgetary requirements for this plan as well as how much of the historic architecture could be saved if the venue had two performance spaces.
