Item caption/descriptive text, back: 5. "Man hat mir versichert," begann der Kater, " daß Ihr die Gabe besäßet, gnädiger Herr, Euch in alle Arten von Tieren zu verwandeln." -- "Das ist auch wahr," antwortete der Zauberer, "um es dir zu beweisen, will ich mich gleich in einen Elefanten verwandeln." Der Kater war erschrocken, als er den Elefanten vor sich sah, und bat den Zauberer, sich in eine Maus zu verwandeln. Das geschah, dia Maus lief plötzlich hin und her, der Kater aber haschte sie und fraß sie auf. = "I have been told," began the cat, "that you have the gift, honored sir, of transforming yourself into all kinds of animals." "That is certainly true," answered the magician, "and to prove it to you, I will transform myself immediately into an elephant." The cat was astounded when he saw the elephant in front of him, and then asked the magician to transform himself into a mouse. That happened: the mouse suddenly ran back and forth, but the cat caught it and ate it up.

In 1962, the US Navy issued a requirement for an eventual replacement for the A-4 Skyhawk. Of the proposals submitted by various companies, Vought’s design won the competition in February 1964. What became the A-7 Corsair II was based on the already successful F-8 Crusader fighter, a decision which figured heavily in the Navy’s selection of the aircraft. The A-7, however, was smaller and shorter, with a much less sleek fuselage but a larger wing. It was the first operational American aircraft to use a turbofan engine, a HUD, and an internal INS linked to the bombing radar, permitting very accurate bombing in all weathers. After a remarkably trouble-free development, the YA-7A first flew in September 1965 and entered service a year later, with a combat debut in December 1967 over Vietnam. Because the A-4 was more maneuverable, the A-7 only supplemented the Skyhawk in US Navy service until the early 1980s; likewise, it was not chosen by the US Marine Corps for the light attack role, as the Marines preferred upgraded A-4s and later the AV-8A/B Harrier series.
The USAF, however, would acquire the A-7 in large numbers, at first as an interim to bridge the gap between the F-105 Thunderchief and the F-111 Aardvark, and to replace the ancient A-1 Skyraiders then serving as COIN, close air support, and rescue support aircraft. The A-7D made a number of changes, including USAF-style boom/plug refueling port, the more reliable and powerful Allison TF41 engine, and deletion of the A-7A’s twin 20mm cannon for a single M61A1 Vulcan 20mm gatling cannon. The A-7D entered USAF service in September 1968, and its combat service over Vietnam impressed the US Navy enough that the follow-on A-7E Corsair II incorporated both the TF41 engine and the M61A1 gun armament. Aside from the two-seat TA-7C/A-7K conversion trainers and EA-7L electronic warfare trainers, the A-7E was the penultimate Corsair II variant. Vought proposed an advanced, supersonic long-range strike variant, the A-7F, but this only went to the prototype stage.
The A-7 served in every conflict the United States entered into from 1968 to 1991, including Vietnam, operations against Lebanon, Libya, and Iran in the 1980s, and the First Gulf War. The latter was the swansong for the type in US service, with only two US Navy A-7E squadrons seeing service. With the drawdown of the 1990s, the A-7D was rapidly retired from USAF and Air National Guard units in favor of the F-16 Falcon; the A-7E left US Navy service in favor of the F/A-18 Hornet. The aircraft was exported in the 1970s to Greece as the A-7H and Portugal as the A-7P, both of which saw service in the Third World War. Thailand received ex-US Navy A-7Es in the mid-1990s. Greece retired the last operational A-7s in the world in 2014.
(The following is a fictional history of a fictional naval air arm.)
With the adoption of the US Navy-style carrier battlegroup by the FIRN/FIRNAA in the late 1970s, the FIRNAA also adopted the Navy-style carrier air wing of F-14 Tomcats, A-6 Intruders, and A-7 Corsair IIs. The latter were deemed to be of low priority, with the FIRNAA acquiring and upgrading ex-US Navy A-4E Skyhawks, and there was some controversy over the need to buy the A-7 at all. The sale went through because of the A-7’s ability to carry more ordnance further, and the first order for 36 A-7Es and five two-seat TA-7Cs were placed in 1985. As the A-7 production line had closed by that time, these came from ex-US Navy stocks and were refurbished before delivery; the only addition to the aircraft was a Pave Penny laser designator, which allowed the A-7E to drop precision guided weaponry. TA-7Cs were also in short supply, so instead Vought converted five ex-USAF A-7Es to A-7K standard, though these aircraft had a bulged refuelling probe and were designated TA-7K. (The TA-7K retained its boom/plug system, making it a “hermaphrodite.”) The first FIRNAA A-7E entered service in August 1986 with NAS-17, and both it and NAS-18 were fully operational with the Corsair II before the end of the Third World War. The last batch entered service with NAS-19, with the last being delivered in July 1988. These aircraft would provide yeoman service during the First Gulf War.
Though the United States was rapidly retiring the A-7, the FIRNAA decided to keep the aircraft due to its range instead of acquiring more F/A-18 Hornets. Because of its lack of speed and the desire to keep the aircraft in service at least until 2005, the FIRNAA commissioned a study to upgrade its Corsair IIs. Vought had gone out of business by this time (1993), but the A-7F study was resurrected and the contract given to Predator Propulsion. Initially designated A-7P (for Predator Propulsion, but dropped due to confusion with the Portuguese A-7Ps) and then A-7S, this upgrade included completely updating the avionics, with a new HUD system, LANTIRN compatibility, the ability to carry the AGM-84 Harpoon and AGM-84E SLAM, and most importantly, the A-7F’s Pratt and Whitney F100 turbofan. Since the A-7S lacked the lengthened fuselage and modified tail of the A-7F, the engine was derated to 24,000 pounds, though the afterburner was retained. This increased the top speed and range of the A-7E, as the F100 was more fuel efficient. The first A-7S flew in July 1994 and entered service in December 1995; by 1996 the entire fleet had been upgraded.
Despite the expense of the upgrade, the A-7S’ career was to be brief. The decision to acquire the F/A-25 Rafale to replace it was made only two years after the A-7S entered service, and it began to be withdrawn from service in 1999. The outbreak of war in Afghanistan and Iraq only delayed withdrawal for a short time, though the A-7S would fly combat missions in what was the Corsair II’s final combat deployment. Both NAS-17 and NAS-18 would convert to the Rafale, while NAS-19 retained it’s A-7s until the squadron’s disbandment in 2004. The last FIRNAA Corsair IIs made a four-ship flypast of Viper Lake IFAAS in August 2004, marking 18 years of faithful service. Eleven A-7s were lost during the aircraft’s career, six in combat during the Third World War and the First Gulf War, and the remainder in accidents; these were replaced from US Navy stocks, making total procurement 52 aircraft.
(Back in the real world...)
Though I prefer 1/144 scale for my own personal models, there is not yet a 1/144 kit of the A-7; Tamiya, however, makes a 1/100 kit. After finding one in Indiana in 2010, I built it out of the box as a standard A-7E. I used a darker gunship gray over medium gray color scheme (which would probably be unworkable for carrier operations in real life). I used kit decals, but the tailcodes and crocodile tail motif were hand-painted. It is armed with 12 Mk 82 750-pound bombs and two AIM-9B Sidewinders, which were not as difficult to put on as I had originally thought.

September 8 through October 4, 2019, HistoriCorps, a national nonprofit organization dedicated to engaging volunteers in the rehabilitation of historic structures on publicly accessible lands, in partnership with the National Elk Refuge, worked to restore the 121 year old Historic Miller Barn.
The Historic Miller Barn on the National Elk Refuge, represents a range of historic events significant to the development of the National Elk Refuge and Jackson, WY. The 30-by-40 foot barn was built in 1898 and is on the National Register of Historic Places. The barn is part of the Historic Miller Ranch on the National Elk Refuge. The site referred to as the Historic Miller Ranch includes the original log home or Miller House, the Miller Barn, and a one-room log building that was once used as the original office for what later became Teton National Forest, known currently as Bridger-Teton National Forest.
HistoriCorps is a 501(c)3 nonprofit that provides volunteers of all skill levels with a hands-on experience preserving historic structures on public lands across America. Volunteers work with HistoriCorps field staff to learn preservation skills and put those skills to work saving historic places that have fallen into disrepair. HistoriCorps works to ensure America’s cultural and historical resources exist for generations to come.

I can't decide which title I like better.
I used to work for the PA Department of Labor & Industry in downtown Pittsburgh before I headed off to grad school in Delaware. I enjoyed my time with the state and I really liked working in downtown Pittsburgh. The city is actually really nice and clean -- especially where the state building was located near the point. On nice days, you might have found me walking around Point State Park ("the Point") in the sun with my camera.
On this day, I was walking along the Allegheny River (the northern river that meets with the southern Monongahela River to make the Ohio River -- the famed "Three Rivers" confluence) after leaving Point State Park and I saw a wall full of graffiti. But it wasn't regular graffiti, it was more of a conversation among passers-by with a Sharpie. It gave me a good chuckle, so I decided to snap some pictures. Someone had written the entire lyrics to the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air on the wall, which was probably at least 50 feet in length. Someone else had drawn a box and inside was written "Do not write in this box" within the box. Hilarious. Then I saw this cute drawing (posted above). He just looked so sad and forlorn that I had to get a shot of him.
I'll post a few more photos from that day in the first comment below. Thanks for looking!

Decorative Victorian glass on the south side of the nave.
Henley's St John the Baptist church, squeezed into a somewhat restricted plot in the town's high street, appears to date entirely from the late 15th century and it's most notable feature externally is the north west tower, against which was built the attractive west porch which serves as the main entrance. Renewed winged-beast carvings flank the entrance arch, whilst within are original head stops of a king and queen each side of the door, with it's nearly triangular arch.
The body of the church consists of a long oblong comprising nave and chancel without structural division and a slightly shorter north aisle, divided from the main vessel by an attractive four bay arcade. The interior is somewhat dark and wears a heavier Victorian presence than one might expect, largely due to the decorative glazing that fills most of the windows.There are however a number of medieval head stops and angel carvings high up, the most striking of which is the huge bat-like creature who supports the west end of the arcade where it meets the tower-wall; he seems to be in the act of letting out some kind of horrifying scream.
The furnishings appear to date entirely from late Victorian times with one significant exception, the rather fine early 16th century wooden pulpit with linenfold-type details set within cusped panels. The font is old too, though very simple.
I have to confess I can't really get excited about the glass here, the Wailes east window with Christ flanked by the Evangelists is not attractive, being rather dull and harshly coloured. The west window suffers similarly with hard colours and canopies, but has a less static tableaux of the Adoration of the Shepherds & Magi.
The south wall has an unbroken sequence of five identical three-light windows, all until recently filled with Victorian decorative glazing, consisting of ornamental quarries punctuated by bright rosettes and borders, somewhat fussy yet some of the medallion elements are attractive. The centre window however was replaced by the Millennium window in 2000, a bright and boldy coloured affair with a golden sky made from jagged shards of streaky amber glass.
I generally welcome bold, contemporary statements in glass, but I'm afraid I'm not overly keen on this window, I find the simplified drawing of the figures uncomfortably cartoonish, and the obsession with representing contemporary dress and professions (particularly the nurse, fireman etc in the tracery lights) could make the window seem quite dated before it's time in my opinion. Although Christ the carpenter is clearly the central theme, it feels to me like it has a rather more secular agenda.
The church is happily normally open and welcoming to visitors from 10am till dusk.

Vaslav Nijinsky was expected to create choreography for and assume the leading role in "The Legend of Joseph," but he was fired in 1913. Diaghilev then turned to Michel Fokine to create the choreography. Leonide Massine was Diaghilev's new protege and Nijinsky's successor, but he didn't hold a candle to Nijinsky as a dancer. So, Massine let his stage presence and acting ability make up for the lack of dancing technique.
Famed opera singer Maria Kuznetsova participated in, and helped to finance, Sergei Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes in London and Paris on the eve of World War I. With the help of her friend, the artist and designer Léon Bakst, Kuznetsova won the role of Potiphar's wife in Richard Strauss's ballet “La Légende de Joseph” in 1914. It was produced by Diaghilev, composed and conducted by Strauss, choreographed by Michel Fokine, and designed by Leon Bakst, Alexandre Benois and José Maria Sert, while the lead was danced by Léonide Massine.
It was an important role, and Kuznetsova was certainly in good company, but they were held to a punishing schedule with little time to rehearse. To make matters worse, Strauss was in a foul mood because his lover, Ida Rubinstein, who was to have danced Lydia Sokolova's role, had abruptly abandoned the project. Furthermore, Strauss abhorred working with French musicians, and was constantly at daggers drawn with the orchestra. Diaghilev, meanwhile, had not yet recovered from Vaslav Nijinsky's departure the previous year from the Ballets Russes. Nijinsky had choreographed and created the title role – replaced after his marriage and fall from grace by Fokine and Massine.
Despite the problems backstage and an outraged British press, who found the work obscene, the ballet successfully debuted in both London and Paris that spring. The initial run lasted seven performances. This was shortly followed by a further seven in London conducted by Sir Thomas Beecham, who had loaned the money for the commission to Diaghilev. With the looming war, Strauss never received his fee of 6,000 francs. In 1947 Strauss prepared a Symphonic Fragment from The Legend of Joseph, for reduced orchestra. This was premiered in March 1949 in Cincinnati under Fritz Reiner.
The ballet is based on the biblical story of Joseph who was sold into slavery by his brothers. Of all the brothers, Joseph was loved the most and given a long coat of many colors by his father. Jealousy led the brothers to sell Joseph to serve Potiphar, the captain of Pharaoh’s guard. Joseph found favor with Potiphar and prospered in everything he did, eventually becoming overseer of Potiphar’s entire household. Potiphar’s wife began to desire Joseph and sought to have an affair with him. He refused but she persisted and, after some days of begging for him, she made a false claim against him by charging that he tried to rape her. This resulted in Joseph’s imprisonment. [Based on Information in Wikipedia]
Different ballet companies offer portions of Strauss’ “Legend of Joseph” in the following Youtube videos:

Casa de la Festa on Via Augusta in Tarragona.
Cultural facility preserving & displaying local festival elements & explaining the related rituals.
House of the Feast of Tarragona
The Casa de la Festa de Tarragona is a cultural facility that allows the preservation of the elements of the Popular Follow-up of the city of Tarragona and that explains the ritual sequence of the Fiestas de Santa Tecla .
The Casa de la Fiesta consists of a building where the heritage elements of the Popular Follow-up of the Fiestas de Santa Tecla are preserved and exhibited, both declared to be of national tourist interest and of traditional national interest, and the ritual sequence is explained thus as the main co-protagonist of the castle event throughout history. They are one of the most significant immaterial assets of the Catalan Countries - framed in the representations of medieval medieval street theater of medieval Europe and with some origins that make us travel until 1321 -; At the same time they are characterized by extraordinary citizen participation. The Casa de la Festa, located in one of the few surviving examples of the local industrial architectural heritage , is heir to an earlier one that existed in Tarragona since the middle of the 15th century. The current trap in space and time the magic of the large party of Tarragona - celebrated between 15 and 24 September - to make it known to visitors throughout the year. It has three exhibition halls that immerse us in the celebration, and a fourth audiovisual, where new technologies revive the emotions of these emblematic fiestas.
Given the high patrimonial significance of the elements of Popular Seguici and the castles, the civil society of Tarragona has claimed for years, specifically since 1997, when a joint manifesto was presented to the city council , the Casa de la Fiesta as a cultural equipment that allowed the preservation of the identity elements of the celebration, its pedagogical explanation and its tourist diffusion.
This equipment, which has been conceived thanks to a long process of citizen participation, with the contributions of the Popular Commissio Commission, the Assembly of Organizations and the Party Table - integrated by specialists from all over the country - is Located at Via Augusta, number 4, just next to the historical center of the city on a farm of about 1,400 m2.
It began operating during 2007 as a space for the preservation of festive imagery, trials and residency of entities, and on May 31, 2008 as a space that can be visited with a permanent exhibition project. In this way, the Santa Tecla Festivities of Tarragona are assimilated with regard to facilities in Sant Felix in Vilafranca del Penedès , in the Blancs i Blaus in Granollers , at the Festa de la Mare de Déu de la Algemesí Health, in the Morella Sexual Festivities or at the Festival or Mystery of Elche , declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

In the years before continental holidays became the norm the SMT bus company provided a huge selection of extended and day tours throughout Scotland and England. So popular did they become that up to 100 coaches were allocated during the peak summer season. Most departures left from Edinburgh or Glasgow but some day tours also left from provincial towns such as Bathgate and Musselburgh.
The extended tours attracted high patronage, in particular that to Strathpeffer and the North West Highlands, which gave two departures per week. Seen amongst the bracken and purple heather of Glen Affric is B466A, a 1953 AEC Regal Mk IV, with luxurious 38 seat Alexander coachwork. The Regal is working a 7-day tour which would cost the 'holidaymaker' £19.10s (£19.50p) at the time of this scene in 1959. This price which today sounds more than a bargain, was all inclusive - meals, excursions and hotels. SMT, by then Scottish Omnibuses, chose only the most experienced drivers to crew these tours, and in turn the drivers guarded the 'privilege' with considerable acumen, with younger drivers getting a chance only of day or afternoon tours. B466A - attached to New Street garage remained for some years afterwards on tour-work before being withdrawn in 1966.
Spring Time in the Malibu Canyons! Nikon D800E Dr. Elliot McGucken Fine Art Photography for Los Angeles Gallery Show!
Yet more photos and more final edits! I was up at 4:30 AM the past four days shooting sunrises! Awesome sunrises over Point Dume thie time of year in Malibu.
Then I spent all day today moving over 75 large photos into the gallery! Most of these are framed and matted with 13"x19" metallic prints and an 18"x24" mat and a 3" wood-grain black frame! They look awesome! Stop on by Bel Air Camera's Gallery downstairs if you are close to UCLA or in Westwood. Give me a head's up, and I will meet you there if I'm free.
I thought I was done a couple days ago for December's LA Gallery show, but art is never done until it's done, and even then. . . Will be busy printing and framing in nice large, matted formats and frames and museum glass! Five of these photos will be printed on 40" x 60" floating wall mounted metal sheets! I think I know which--will share photos of the photos hanging on the walls!
And I am mounting some on plexiglass/acryllic--front mounting them! Some I am printing on lossy fuji-crystal archival paper too, and then front mounting 40"x60" versions to plexiglass--will send photos!
The secret to HDR photography is that you want people to say, "Woe dude--that's unreal!" And not, "Dude--that's not real!" "Unreal" is the word they use when they're trying to figure out the photo--what makes it cool--is it a photo? Is it painted? How'd it come to be--how'd you bend the light that way? "That's not real," is what they say if you have the saturation/HDR/ etc. turned up too high. :)
Some (almost) final edits for December's Los Angeles Gallery Show! Printing them on metallic paper at 13" x 19" and mounting and framing them on a 4mm 18x24 white mat and 2" dark wood frame. Also printing some 40" x 70" whihc is over three feet by five feet! Wish you all could come (and hang out with the goddesses)!
Let me know your favs.!

In 1868, four Irish Christian brothers, P.A. Treacy, D.F. Bodkin, J.B. Lynch and P.J. Nolan, arrived in Melbourne to open a new Christian school in the booming, and somewhat wild, city at the behest of Bishop Gould. They began teaching in 1869 in a small rented primary school behind St. Francis’ Church in Lonsdale Street. However, they really wanted something more permanent than the rented school they had, and they also wished to have a monastery in which to reside, rather than the rented rooms in Fitzroy that they had taken as a temporary measure.
With help from the Irish Catholic Church, they acquired a parcel of land along the wide boulevard of Victoria Parade in East Melbourne. In 1871 their dreams were realised when a new bluestone college was blessed by Bishop Gould in the presence of the venerable Archbishop of Sydney, the Archbishop Polding. They called their new school Parade College, after the name of the street it was built on, and dedicated it to Mary Immaculate.
The building is an imposing three storey bluestone structure that was built to the designs of Melbourne architect William Wilkinson Wardell (1823 – 1899), who also designed the nearby St. Patrick’s Cathedral. The building has been designed in the popular Victorian Gothic style, a mostly ecclesiastical architectural style. It features gothic style windows on the Victoria Parade facade, and a double storey verandah of cast iron on the rear of the building, which when it was built, would have taken in beautiful views of the nearby Fitzroy Gardens and the burgeoning city beyond it. The building also included a beautiful chapel on the third floor, accessed via a stairwell that was also designed in the Gothic style. The chapel is small; however it makes up in beauty what it lacks in size, with a vaulted pressed metal ceiling and beautiful stained glass windows.
On the school’s first day, more than one hundred boys were enrolled and the number increased steadily as accommodation became available. As time went on, more Brothers arrived at Parade College from Ireland, and so the number of boys attending the school could increase. In 1902 the school building was extended yet again and finally completed William Wardell’s original designs. It is this building that we see today. This building was affectionately known as the "Old Bluestone Pile" and the school’s song takes its name from this building.
Gothic architecture was perceived by the pious Victorians as an expression of religious, and therefore, moral values, and this may be the reason why architects preferred to build schools in this style throughout the Nineteenth Century. Its revival was seen as virtuous and equated with moral revival; the perfect environment in which to educate young minds. For this reason an ecclesiastical character was predominant even on buildings that were not necessarily religious.
In 1999 after being located in Clayton for 25 years, the Catholic Theological College moved into the former Parade College building (which had been sold in 1994) alongside which it built a new modern building designed by Gregory Burgess.
William Wilkinson Wardell was a civil engineer and architect born in England. He studied under Gothic architect Augustus Pugin, who became his friend as well as his mentor. Between 1846 and 1858 he designed over thirty churches in England, which was a very prodigious output, and he had a flourishing business. Some of the churches he designed include: St Birinus, Bridge End, Dorchester-on-Thames which was worked on between 1846 and 1849, and Greenwich’s Our Lady Star of the Sea which was worked on between 1846 and 1851. By 1858, Mr. Wardell’s health was suffering and his doctors felt that the warmer climate afforded by Australia might be more beneficial to his health. Therefore he, his wife Lucy, his two sons and daughter migrated after Mr. Wardell obtained the position of "Government Architect" to the city of Melbourne. In Melbourne he is known for designing the first St Mary’s Church in East St Kilda in 1859 and the second in 1897, Government House Melbourne in 1876, the ANZ Gothic bank in Collins Street in 1877, and St Patrick’s Cathedral which was completed in 1897 but was still being modified by Mr. Wardell at the time of his death. He is also known in Sydney for designing, the ASN Co. Building in 1884, St John’s College at the University of Sydney, which was completed after a breakdown in relations between the architect and the Sydney City Council, and St Mary’s Cathedral which was not completed until after his death. Mr. Wardell died at his home, “Upton Grange” in North Sydney in November 1899 of heart failure and pleurisy, but left behind a rich legacy in Australia, not only of the commercial and ecclesiastical buildings that he created, but for the numerous private houses and mansions that he designed.

Governor of Florida Jeb Bush at TurboCam, Barrington, New Hampshire on August 7th by Michael Vadon Part 1 of 4
CONCORD, N.H. —Less than a day after the first debate of the GOP primary, former Florida governor Jeb Bush is back in New Hampshire campaigning.
Less than a day after the first debate of the GOP primary, former Florida governor Jeb Bush is back in New Hampshire campaigning.
At a town hall Friday night in Barrington, Bush spoke about how he won't campaign with anger and instead spoke a lot about policy.
He started his day at Brown's Lobster Pound in Seabrook. After greeting voters -- trying a lobster roll -- Bush told reporters he plans to campaign hard on and off the debate stage between now and the primaries.
"I think I did fine (in the debate). I am who I am," Bush said.
He's declining to criticize his Republican rivals, including Donald Trump, who refused to pledge support to the party's eventual nominee. Instead, Bush says he's focused on sharing his record as governor with voters and letting people get to know who he is.
"So you take advantage of opportunities when you have them, speak from your heart," Bush said. "I don't view this debating as question of winning or losing. It's the cumulative effect of shaping peoples opinion of who you are over the long haul."
Bush said Democrats' attacks against him show he is the candidate they fear most.
"Let me think why they would be. Because maybe it's because they consider me the biggest threat," Bush said.

John Ellis "Jeb" Bush (born February 11, 1953) is an American businessman and politician who served as the 43rd Governor of Florida from 1999 to 2007.
Bush is the second son of former President George H. W. Bush and former First Lady Barbara Bush, and the younger brother of former President George W. Bush, grandson of the late Prescott Sheldon Bush, American Banker and United States Senator from Connecticut. He grew up in Houston, Texas. He graduated from the Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts and attended the University of Texas, where he earned a degree in Latin American affairs. Following his father's successful run for Vice President in 1980, he moved to Florida and pursued a career in real estate development. In 1986, Bush was named Florida's Secretary of Commerce, a position he held until his resignation in 1988 to help his father's successful campaign for the Presidency.
In 1994, Bush made his first run for office, narrowly losing the election for governor by less than two percentage points to the incumbent Lawton Chiles. Bush ran again in 1998 and defeated Lieutenant Governor Buddy MacKay with 55 percent of the vote. He ran for reelection in 2002 and won with 56 percent to become Florida's first two-term Republican governor. During his eight years as governor, Bush was credited with initiating environmental improvements, such as conservation in the Everglades, supporting caps for medical malpractice litigation, moving Medicaid recipients to private systems, and instituting reforms to the state education system, including the issuance of vouchers and promoting school choice.
Bush is a candidate for the Republican nomination in the 2016 presidential election.
As I wrote earlier, I have been ill.
All day.
Jools is feeling tip top, so while I lay hovering close to death laying in my pit, she went to the gym for a workout, then, on the way back gets me a coffee from Starbucks opposite the hotel. Opposite and down a bit, then to the left. But close enough.
I drink that pretty quick, but I am not feeling very sharp at all.
So after Jools has a shower, she goes out for a wander and I stay in bed, listening to the radio, whilst my stomach empties.
And by one in the afternoon, I was feeling more human, so I began to think about what to do when Jools came back. And at just gone two, I see her in her coat coming back, carrying a huge cup of coffee for me.
She has been out on the L, going to various points she knew not where, as got lost twice, but had a good time.
What did I want to do?
Ride the L of course.
She sighs. Well, she put the idea in my head.
At quarter to three we go out, walk three blocks to the subway, where three bucks gets us one trip, to anywhere in the system.
We take two stops, then get out and go to the street onto the L, where I am happy as anything, standing at the very back of the train, snapping the scene as the train headed south.
After three stops, and going round a tight curve at a junction, of which I get pictures. And I am happy.
We get off and wander along the streets, stopping off at a health food place for a bag of chips and some juice.
I felt a little better.
Walk some more, back over the river, on a road that ran parallel with Michigan, as the designer shops and crowds are so boring.
After a few blocks, I see a tap room, and I am thirsty, so go over for a pint of porter. Which hits the spot, but goes straight to my head.
Of course.
Meanwhile, the dark clouds that had swept over the city in the afternoon were now producing light rain, and we scuttled north getting closer to the hotel.
We come to a bbq place, and I say, shall we eat here? I mean, its nearly five, eat early, back in our room and relax?
So we do.
Jools has a half baby back rib and I have brisket, both of which were good. Stunning to me who had not eaten in some 22 hours.
As ever, the food came with a side, and we also asked for onion rings. A small mountain of those came, which we made a fair dent in.
The ribs and brisket were stunning, the best of either I have had. So a win there.
But we left so much food as we both had had enough. It will get trashed.
The rain had stopped, so we walk back to the hotel in the thinning crowds as the time approached half six, and back in our room soon after.
Tomorrow, things will change, somewhat....
A little boat in cambodia can be a house, a shop, everything.
