In life you have to push. Push to get what you want. You have to push and go over the moon and back , you have to fight for what you want to do in life. But in the end...all the fighting and the working is what makes it all worth it.
-Darcy M. Graham

“Two wheels carried dreams across dusty Methow roads.”
At the Shafer Historical Museum in Winthrop, WA, the vintage two-wheel bicycle is one of those quietly powerful artifacts that speaks volumes about everyday life in the Methow Valley’s frontier years.
🚲 The Bicycle’s Story
• Era: Late 19th to early 20th century, when bicycles were spreading across rural America.
• Design: Heavy steel frame, leather saddle, and a simple chain drive—built for durability on dirt roads and rugged trails.
• Role in the Valley:
• Affordable transportation before automobiles became common.
• Used by ranch hands, shopkeepers, and children for short trips across Winthrop’s dusty streets.
• Symbolized independence—two wheels could carry someone miles beyond the reach of horse or wagon.
• Displayed among wagons, mining gear, and pioneer tools, the bicycle highlights the transition from horse power to human-powered wheels.
• It sits alongside other transportation artifacts—early trucks, carriages, and farm equipment—showing how mobility evolved in the Methow Valley.
• The bicycle’s presence reminds visitors that progress wasn’t always about engines; sometimes it was about pedals and perseverance.
Thank you for your visit and any faves or comments are always greatly appreciated!

updegraff is a great pedagouge because he believes in the talent of people, even if it is not immediately apparent based on their playing. this sign seems like something which, if i get into to cim, i will refer many times when i get frustrated with my playing/music in general.

This tree--about 20' tall--was too far above the stream to take water from it. It survived by absorbing rain water and snow melt, its roots dug firmly into the layers of shale. Taughannock Falls State Park, 07/27/2009.
Have you stopped praying? Does God want you to park? God is interested in the details of your life, but perhaps he wants you to take care of some things on your own. I'm not sure why this surname was posted in New York City, but surely it gets you thinking about your relationship with God and your responsibilities are and what God's are.
You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust you. Isa 26:3-4 NIV
I've been hunting SBOC (Skate Boarders of Color) for a while now. I find the emerging culture to be fascinating, a sign of cultural evolution. The lure of the small skate park across the street from my office proved tempting as I left for vacation today. Yoshi, Channing, and their crew entertained me and my lens for a good hour. The repetition of their tricks and the perserverance they showed to master them inspired. I'm not sure if Channing really liked the attention, but he was very photogenic. Their energy really satisfied my SBOC curiosity, for now. It was a great start to my vacation.

Sans Pareil was designed and built by Timothy Hackworth which took part in the Rainhill Trials in 1829.
The trials were a competition held by the directors of the Liverpool & Manchester Railway Company to determine who would provide motive power to the railway.
Sans Pareil, meaning “without equal” or “peerless”, was one of the five competitors alongside Stephenson’s Rocket, the others being Cycloped owned by Thomas Brandreth; Perserverance, owned by Timothy Burstall; and Novelty, owned by John Braithwaite and John Ericcson. Despite there being some doubts about whether Sans Pareil was over the weight restrictions imposed by the organisers, it was allowed to compete. The design and technology used on Sans Pareil was of a different kind from the eventual winner, Rocket, and Sans Pareil was not able to complete the trial successfully.
Despite this, after the trial the engine was purchased by the Liverpool & Manchester Railway Company and used until 1831, when it was transferred to the Bolton & Leigh Railway. In 1844 it was removed to Coppull Colliery, near Chorley, where one axle and a pair of wheels were removed, and toothed gearing fitted to the other axle in order to power the colliery’s pumping and winding apparatus. In 1863, with the mine being exhausted, the engine was returned to its locomotive form and presented to the Museum.
The boiler has a cylindrical shell, with one end flat and the other dished, and an internal return flue which projects beyond the boiler on the fire-grate side. There are two vertical cylinders acting directly downwards on crank pins in the driving wheels, which are connected by coupling rods to the trailing wheels.

'Famine' (1997) was commissioned by Norma Smurfit and presented to the City of Dublin in 1997. The sculpture is a commemorative work dedicated to those Irish people forced to emigrate during the 19th century Irish Famine. The bronze sculptures were designed and crafted by Dublin sculptor Rowan Gillespie and are located on Custom House Quay in Dublin's Docklands.
This location is a particularly appropriate and historic as one of the first voyages of the Famine period was on the 'Perserverance' which sailed from Custom House Quay on St. Patrick's Day 1846. Captain William Scott, a native of the Shetland Isles, was a veteran of the Atlantic crossing, gave up his office job in New Brunswick to take the 'Perserverance' out of Dublin. He was 74 years old. The Steerage fare on the ship was £3 and 210 passengers made the historical journey. They landed in New York on the 18th May 1846. All passengers and crew survived the journey. Dublin, Ireland
