The Fourth Michigan Infantry Regiment was a hard fighting unit in the Army of the Potomac. They lost 27 killed at Gaines Mill, 14 killed at Fredericksburg, 54 killed at Malvern Hill and 40 dead at Gettysburg. Their stand in the wheat field at Gettysburg brought them fame. Abel Piper of Lenawee County, Ohio was a member of the Fourth Michigan. He served with the regiment until May 24, 1862 when he was killed in the skirmish at Newbridge, Virginia.

I don't usually do a lot of Photoshop manip, but this is actually heavily modified to prep for a possible book cover (later rejected). Here's the original, right out of the camera. One of my goals was to make it less NYC-centric, since the book was set in another city.
You can see that I straightened it up a bit, covered the posters on the right by cloning the fence on the left, removed signs from the background, got rid of garbage on the sidewalk, and altered the contrast and tones. Tiny subtle detail: I altered the colors in the pay phone so it wouldn't look like a Verizon (NYC-centric) phone.
Those are the original clouds, but I brought out a lot of contrast.

The fourth 911 to bear the now famous ‘911’ nomenclature
RM Sotheby's
Place Vauban
Parijs - Paris
Frankrijk - France
February 2019
Estimated : € 600.000 - 800.000
The first batch of Porsche’s new 901 coupés were completed on 14 September 1964 and numerous running changes were implemented on these early models. By Christmas, 232 cars had been completed. Due to a legal battle regarding nomenclature with Peugeot, Porsche agreed to change the designation to ‘911’, but only for cars delivered to owners after 1 January 1965, as cars already under construction carried 901 badging. There are nearly a hundred differences between those built in 1964 and 1965, some obvious and some quite subtle, including interior, body and trim features.
Chassis 300082 is one of four new cars completed on 12 November 1964.The factory’s hand-written ledger for these 232 cars, as illustrated in Tobias Aichele’s Porsche 911, shows that it was assigned engine no. 900193. According to Robert Fleming of Minnesota, keeper of the Early 911 Registry, it appears that the engine was changed before the car left the factory, as 900193 had been allocated to chassis 300067, which was constructed several weeks earlier. Thus, this car was delivered to its first owner with engine no. 900192. It retains that engine today.
Delivered on 19 December to Porsche’s distributor Sonauto in Paris, the consignor states that he acquired 300082 from its third known owner in France. It was reconfigured for historic racing at the time, but complete with its original body panels and engine. A correct interior was sourced, complete with the aluminium framed steering wheel that is unique to these early cars. It has been comprehensively restored in its original colour of Enamel Blue, as listed on its factory Kardex. The interior is correct Black leatherette with charcoal carpets. The dashboard cover is screwed into place from the top, which was a detail changed on later cars. The original steel wheels are properly date-stamped ‘11-64’. It is supplied with each of its original registration documents.
Shown at the 2018 Zoute Concours d’Elegance, it is certainly ready to appear at other concours events. Extremely rare, this survivor from Porsche’s initial foray into a six-cylinder GT coupé would make a wonderful addition to any collection of important sports cars.

How was your 4th of July? Did you set off any fireworks? Whatever you did, we hope you had a good time. The Mr and The Mrs visited The Mrs parents at their farm for a nice summer picnic outside under the big pecan tree. During the afternoon, The Mr and The Father-in-Law went to purchase some nighttime entertainment for the family and later set off their fireworks. Our favorite was this Frog Princess in the grand finale. We enjoyed the 4th with a big bang!

I went to the church to take photos, and ended up staying for their very cool "Jazz at Four" holiday service. This photo shows the main auditorium as guests were leaving after the service.

Picked up BBQ ribs and sides. Took it and a quilted runner to one of the old stone picnic tables at Balsam Picnic area, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, North Carolina.
July Fourth in America is more than only fireworks and citizenship oaths. It is about the people. That common, working class of people that you don't ordinarily see in your school or work campus, or in fancy shopping malls, or in the wealthy white-collar housing complexes with carefully manicured landscapes. It's about those people, the red and blue stripes they wear, their kids, and the corndogs and fries and funnel cakes and sugary snow cones they eat. It's not about the fireworks, rather about waiting for the fireworks; the fun, the music, the sparklers, the glowsticks, and standing for the national anthem under the starry night.
