Actually it's a rather nice spot just outside Whippingham but somehow this morning, taking this picture through the windscreen as I drove into work, it all had the look of the morning after the bomb. Or maybe that's just what the approaching office does to my head.

Bronx Central Annex-U.S. Post Office, Mott Haven, The Bronx
The Bronx Post Office, built in 1935-37, was designed by the architect Thomas Harlan Ellett in a style< which combined modified classical ornament with the elegant simplicity of modem architecture, A description in Architectural Forum for June 1938 states: "A distinct modem influence and the continuing tradition of "government classic' are the two conflicting tendencies which have resulted in the first signs of vitality in American post office design, and the new Bronx Post Office is an excellent example of best recent work ... the building subtly suggests a Georgian precedent without the use of traditional detail Plans for a much needed Bronx Post Office were announced in 1934; the building was to be erected at the Grand Concourse site which the Federal Government had purchased twenty-five years earlier.
Construction began in 1935 under the direction of the Office of the Supervising Architect of the United States Treasury Department, Louis A..Simon, and of the Supervising Engineer, Neal A. Melick. The cornerstone was laid on June 13, 1936, with Postmaster General James A. Farley and New York City Postmaster Albert Goldman officiating. Farley made the occasion an opportunity to assail the critics of the New Deal. The same officials were present at the opening of the new building on May 15, 1937, when it was announced that the building would be known as the Bronx Central Annex and would serve as the Bronx headquarters of the New York Post Office.
The Post Office occupies an entire block. Its smooth gray brick walls rise above a granite terrace which varies in height along the side elevations to conform to the slope of the street. Broad, shallow steps lead up to the three entrances facing the Grand Concourse. The terrace is enclosed by a classically-inspired balustrade, flanked at the entrance steps by blocks decorated with highly stylized swags and rosettes and carrying flagpoles. The ornate foliate bronze flagpole bases have a rather baroque character.
The most prominent features of the building are the graceful window openings set within marble arches which contrast handsomely with the smooth gray brick walls. Radial brick arches, above impost block level, enframe the marble arches of the window openings. The three openings which contain the bronze entrances are set within deep reveals. The facades are crowned by a simple continuous stone bandcourse set with stylized rosettes and containing the inscription "Bronx - United States Post Office - New York."
Two sculptures, larger than life-size, affixed to the front facade add further interest to the building. The designs were chosen from over 400 models submitted in a national competition held in 1936. "The Letter," designed by Henry Kreis, portrays a mother and her child receiving a message from an absent member of the family, "Noah," by Charles Rudy, depicts the Patriarch, with a deer in one arm, straddling the Ark, and receiving the dove's message that the flood was subsiding. Also of considerable artistic and historical interest are thirteen murals in the main lobby depicting the occupations of American workers, painted by Ben Shahn and his wife, Bernards Bryson, in August 1939.
The elegant simplicity of the building with its finely exacted details make it one of the best examples of government architecture in this style* It is notable not only for its architecture but also for its sculpture and paintings. It met a long-felt need in The Bronx when built, and continues to serve that function today.

(Post) Modern Love, a Boston Book Festival panel discussion held at the Church of the Covenant in the Back Bay:
Love is nothing if not complicated. Our three panelists have lots of experience and are bound to shed some light, as well as humor, on the subject. In Love Illuminated, Daniel Jones, editor of the New York Times Modern Love column, gleans observations about love from the fifty thousand submissions he’s received. Margo Howard, who wrote the advice column Dear Prudence and is the daughter of Ann Landers, shares the wisdom that comes from having been married four times in Eat, Drink, and Remarry. Jennifer Finney Boylan, whose memoir Stuck in the Middle with You describes parenting first as a father and then as a mother, knows a thing or two about complicated. Moderated by Boston Globe advice columnist and author of the novel The Singles, Meredith Goldstein.

Hij is helaas net nadat ik gestopt was bij de post weg gehaald door de nieuwe baas...

After bringing his Scoot in to the bumping post one final time, CNW veteran engineer Bruce Prather (left) pulled the pin after 47 years. Standing with Bruce is Roger W., another CNW vet who retired a few years ago and came down to wish Bruce well.
Bruce was my first instructor way back in 97. My first train was a blocked like Sh**, 147 car, 7800 ft long PRCB. After tying on, Bruce looked over and asked "Have you been paying attention from that side the last three years?" I said yes and he replied "Well I guess we will find out." He got up and into the seat I went. I managed to wheel that thing to Iowa without tearing it up or knocking Bruce or the Conductor out of their seats. Many more stories besides this one. Another "Old School" Hogger gone from the roster. Congrats Bruce. You have earned it.

150219 rolls into Lympstone Village with a service for Exmouth.
The Swan Inn at Lympstone used to hold an annual ale festival that often coincided with good weather and saw throngs of visitors spill into the surrounding streets.
We were lucky enough to play there as part of the musical entertainment for a few years and decided that I'd let the train take the strain this year so that I could sample a few ales after our set.
I think this was the year I particularly enjoyed St. Austell Brewery's Big Job which is also big on ABV so decided to get to the station early to ensure I was still thinking clearly enough to make my connections!
I caught this unit on it's return journey from Exmouth, changing at Exeter St. David's onto the 57 hauled sleeper day coaches for the rest of the journey.
All in all, a great day!
