"Ed's Camp is another roadside attraction that harkens back to the early days of Route 66. Ed originally came to the area as a miner in 1917 and it didn't take him long to realize that the real gold could be found catering to the needs of Route 66 travelers than slaving away in the mines. He established his camp around 1919 and business was so good he never got around to building a proper building, he just threw up a roof to provide some measure of protection from the hot desert sun. he put up the kactus kafe, a gas station, a "bathroom of sorts, and a few cabins. He also established sort of a campground and the remnants can be clearly seen from the road.
Today the camp is deserted, but the odd buildings survive to temp the artistic talents of modern photographers ~ from the road that is (see note below).

Note: I should have placed this photo -- and all of the other ones that I'll be uploading on April 18-19, 2015 -- at the end of this album of Washington, DC photos (i.e., the ones that got uploaded first), because they were taken in 1946, long after my mother had gotten divorced, and moved (with me) from Florida back to her mother's house in Washington, DC.
In a few of the photos, you'll note that my mother has now met, and presumably begun dating, my stepfather Ray Yourdon. He was based in Washington at the end of his Navy enlistment; and when it was all over, they got married and the family moved to Denver in 1947 (which you'll find in a separate Flickr album covering the period of 1947-50).
******************************
Mom's note on this snapshot says, "The dishpan again". No specific date on this picture, so I've arbitrarily assigned the date of July 15th of 1946.
**********************************
All of the photos in this album are “originals” from the period when I was an infant in the mid-1940s — i.e., the period before I lived in Omaha, Riverside, Roswell, New York, Ft. Worth, and Denver (photos of which you may have seen already in my Flickr archives).
Before I get into the details, let me make a strong request — if you’re looking at these photos, and if you are getting any enjoyment at all of this brief look at some mundane Americana from 70+ years ago: find a similar episode in your own life, and write it down. Gather the pictures, clean them up, and upload them somewhere on the Internet where they can be found. Trust me: there will come a day when the only person on the planet who actually experienced those events is you. Your own memories may be fuzzy and incomplete; but they will be invaluable to your friends and family members, and to many generations of your descendants.
My own story changes dramatically at this point: the man I’ve presented as my Dad in previous Flickr albums, Ray Yourdon, was actually my stepfather. My birth parents grew up in Washington DC, married, and moved to Florida in the early days of World War II. My birth father worked as a flight instructor for the Air Force, and I was born on an Air Force base near Ft. Walton Beach, in the panhandle section of Florida (which you can read about here, if you’re interested: www.eglin.af.mil )
Some time after that, my parents divorced and my mother moved back to Washington with me, to live with her mother. After a bitter custody battle over me (so I’ve been told), I didn’t see my birth-father again until I was 30—at which point I was surprised to learn that I had three more half-sisters, in addition to the two I had grown up with (i.e., both my mother and my birth-father had remarried after they got divorced from each other). But that’s another story, with another set of photos ...
Meanwhile, my mother worked as a secretary in the Pentagon as the war wound down, and when my stepfather ended up in Washington toward the end of his tour of duty in the Navy, they met, and married, and moved to Denver to begin a new life … chapters of which you’ve been seeing in these Flickr albums during the last several weeks.
So the photos in this album are from my birth in Florida through the first year or so of my childhood in Washington — uploaded in reverse chronological order, starting in 1945. I haven’t written any details, because I have no conscious memory of what was happening at the time; and at this point, all of my parents, step-parents, and grandparents are gone. Yes, I do have five wonderful sisters, all of whom share various memories with me; but I’m the oldest of the brood, so I have no siblings with first-hand information about what I was doing for the first year or two of my life.
All I have are the photos that you see here. But they do tell a story, and that’s why I think it’s so important that you track down all of your own photos and preserve them somewhere for the generations who will follow after you.

Panorama créé sur Lr 6.
Je la surnomme "La Roche à mon grand-père", car, jusque dans les années 1980, la maison de mon grand père maternel (anciennement une ferme agricole) était située juste en face de cette roche typique du secteur "Les Milles-Roches" de la rivière Richelieu.

Ed died this past Wednesday after a short illness. He was 80. And he so much appreciated all his interactions with you who followed him and you whom he followed. Judy

....from a walk through Oxley Creek Common. Oxley Creek Common is home to a remarkable variety of birds. An experienced observer can find as many as 70 species in one hour of observation during the spring about 10% of all Australia's bird species and several times the diversity one could find walking the suburbs. In the past eleven years over 190 species have been recorded on the Common. (Source: University of Queensland)
Olive-backed Oriole
Scientific Name: Oriolus sagittatus
Description: The Olive-backed Oriole is part of a worldwide family, of which Australia has two other members (the Yellow Oriole and the Figbird). Males and females have an olive-green head and back, grey wings and tail, and cream underparts, streaked with brown. They both have a bright red eye and reddish beak. Females can be distinguished from males by a paler bill, duller-green back, and an extension of the streaked underparts up to the chin.
Similar species: Olive-backed Orioles have a reddish bill, which easily distinguishes the species from the similar Figbird Sphecotheres viridis, which has a blackish bill. It also lacks the Figbird's bare eye skin and has red rather than dark eyes. The Yellow Oriole O. flavocinctus is generally more yellow overall.
Distribution: The Olive-backed Oriole occurs across coastal regions of northern and eastern Australia from the Kimberley region in Western Australia, right around the east coast to Adelaide in South Australia.
Habitat: The Olive-backed Oriole lives in forests, woodlands and rainforests, as well as well-treed urban areas, particularly parks and golf courses.
Seasonal movements: Sedentary in the north of its range, but appears to be a summer migrant to the more southern part of its range. Small groups undertake nomadic movements, following fruiting trees during the autumn and winter.
Feeding: Olive-backed Orioles are less gregarious than Figbirds, with which they are often seen foraging. Although they are sometimes seen in small groups, particularly in autumn and winter, they more often occur alone or in pairs, feeding on insects and fruit in canopy trees.
Breeding: The female Olive-backed Oriole builds a cup-shaped nest which is attached by its rim to a horizontal fork on the outer-edge of the foliage of a tree or tall shrub. Nests are usually around 10 m above the ground, and built of strips of bark and grass, bound with spider web. The male does not build the nest, or incubate the eggs, but he feeds the young after the eggs hatch.
Calls: Repeated, rolling 'ori-ori-oriole'. Olive-backed Orioles are excellent mimics of other birds, and are also 'ventriloquists', meaning they can 'throw' their voices to sound like they are calling from somewhere else.
Minimum Size: 26cm
Maximum Size: 28cm
Average size: 27cm
Average weight: 96g
Breeding season: September to January
Clutch Size: 2 to 3
Incubation: 18 days
Nestling Period: 17 days

‘Ed’ is a mannequin at the Trans-Allegheny Insane Asylum. That’s what I call him anyway. Ed is without a doubt, the creepiest mannequin I have ever seen. Hands down. I am telling you, in complete honesty, that I felt completely unnerved in the presence of it and didn’t feel comfortable turning my back on it. Totally weird.

This is Ed Cohen. He is a great advocate for mass transit in Baltimore (a city that really needs his kind of advocacy) and he typically pops up, when an article is written on the subject. You can read about his efforts in this list of articles in The Sun:

The Northern Lights put on an amazing display for us on September 9, 2011. We are just west of Calgary at Morley Alberta... at the McDougall Church. The church is being lit by the nearly full moon which is directly behind us. They reported that these Northern Lights were visible as far south as Montana.

On Good Friday, seeing I was able to get out of work early I figured I'd take a ride up to Pan Am Railways to see what was running- I heard ED-9, which is a local that runs from East Deerfield to Ayer Mass as ED-8 and ED-9 is it's turn, was running west out of Ayer so I decided to camp out at a spot that had decent light, which is at Wachusett, just west of Fitchburg. ED-9 has the 5972, which is a B40-8 and the 3400, which is an ex Quebec North Shore and Labrador SD40-2, With the recent approval by the STB for the acquisition of Pan Am by CSX, shots like this will be a distant memory. I will be saddened to see Pan Am/Guilford go- as the largest regional railroad in the county, Timothy Mellon had a large footprint in the New England railroad scene.
Of course it goes without saying that the people are the most impacted by this and I hope nothing but the best for them in the future.
