c1910 postmarked postcard view of Depot Street in Walton, Indiana. This postcard is mislabeled. The view is looking south southeast on Depot Street from Bishop Street. The nearest awning has GROCERIES & NOTIONS printed across the top. The bottom fringe has WARREN S. KEPNER printed on it. The second awning down the street also has GROCERIES printed on it. The 1920 Sanborn insurance map for Walton shows that groceries still operated at these two locations when that map was prepared. Farther down the street, above the white horse, is a HARNESS SHOP sign. And, a little farther down the street is a sign for CHAS. GUNTHER. Mr. Gunther was a blacksmith according to the 1910 census data. The Urmston Elevator Co. elevator can be seen in the distance. A few railroad boxcars are sitting on a siding between the street and the elevator. All of the visible structures on the west side of the street are frame construction. The two nearest the camera were homes.

c1907 postcard view of the McCammon Hotel in Spencer, Indiana. The 1907 Sanborn™ fire insurance map set shows the three-story McCammon House on the northwest corner at Washington and Streets, about a block east of the courthouse square and across the street from the county jail. This view was looking northwest with Washington Street in the foreground and State Street at the right edge of the scene. The hotel faced Washington Street, and the Sullivan Fire Department was in the two-story building at the alley west of the hotel (left edge of this scene). The hotel office was at the street corner on the first floor and the remainder of that floor along Washington Street was occupied by businesses. According to the 1907 map set, The space at the west end of the hotel was vacant. A plumbing business (with a tin shop in the back) was next door and followed by a barbershop and saloon to the east. The sign painted on the window at the plumbing business appears to be J. R. GOO____, but the Sullivan County Public Library reports the name as J. B. Goodby. A barber’s pole stood at the curb in front of the barbershop and the library reports the business name as Newcomb & Hartfelter.
Much of the hotel was destroyed by fire in 1908 and the manager was convicted of arson.

Last November 26, 2016 the Junior High School students had their recollection activity. The purpose of a recollection activity is to refresh and revitalize the mind and soul of the students for them to be once again in tune and further deepen with their relationship with God. This is achieved through relatable lectures and thought provoking activities that help the students reflect and contemplate on how they are making and breaking the teachings of Jesus in their lives and how they can bring that love back to their families. The activity ends with a confession and a thanks giving mass.

When Schuyler moved from Sebastopol I had a big house, a workshop, and a borderline hoarding disorder.
He had a smaller space, but had acquired a fair amount of interesting stuff, and he was going to somewhat transient lodgings doing urban reclamation of the abandoned Lime Kiln (town hall?).
So we compromised, he threw away, or gave away, stuff, packed other stuff, and left some stuff for me.
Including two Industrial Rolls of Velcro with a tape backing. One roll of hooks, one of loops.
I loved that velcro. I cable tied the two spools together so I would not have the obviously wrong condition of having hooks with no eyes to poke, and hung them in my workshop, and I used them a fair amount.
But periodically they would fall apart, and make big long tangled ropes of velcro and surounding materials, and I would patiently untangle them, and use more.
I have bits of it stuck in my van, which matches the velcro on the bottom of my first GPS. The GPS has long stopped working, but the velcro is still there.
I have strips of the eyes on my camera strobes, with matching strips of eyes on the light correcting gells, so I can hold them in place.
My biggest use was to put them back to back to make cable holders adjustable straps.
The problem with that is that I am a little OCD, so holding the two strips, aligning them, peeling off two sets of backings, and then aligning the two sticky pieces 'perfectly' was always hard.
Today I pulled out the last of the original spool. I have unused pieces still here and there, but this was the last hurrah of the era of unlimited velcro.
And it was also the day I discovered how to attatch sticky to sticky about 20 times faster than before.
Stick the first few inches together in the traditional way, then step on the end, hold one side in each hand between two fingers and use other fingers to hold the backing. Pull the backing up and align the edges all in one step, using the magic of the 'foot' as the third hand...
I guess this is the same as making rope, or lanyards, where you anchor one end.
It just occurs to me that I didn't need to take the backing off of both sides. For my cable/gear wrap applications I always wrapped the velcro around something. I could have removed the backing from one side, and then if I ever wanted I could seperate them and have 1 lo0se, but tape covered length of one side, and one length which could be taped to objects.
I could alternate , having one cable wrap with the hooks still covered with backing, then one wrap with the eyes still covered.
Maybe I need to buy more velcro!
there's a story here but it's a bit personal...so if you really care, you'll not ask any questions...all i can mention is the restraining order...oh yea, and that cocktail party...

Appraised at $15 million, this 60-foot-by-13-foot tile mural (covering 780 square feet) by Romare Bearden is in the downtown Pittsburgh Gateway Center subway station. Bearden painted other public murals, including one in the New York City subway and another in Baltimore.
As part of the transit agency's $435 million North Shore Connector expansion under the Allegheny River, the Gateway Center subway station is to be closed and this mural will be taken down. The agency is not sure what will be done with the mural.
Bearden was paid $90,000 for the mural, titled "Pittsburgh Recollections." It was installed in 1984. Bearden, one of the nation's premier black artists who lived in Pittsburgh in his youth, died in 1988 at age 76.

Romare Bearden's works have sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars at auctions. In contrast to the 60-by-13-foot subway mural, typical Bearden pieces are much smaller. Here's a partial list of Bearden collages auctioned by Sotheby's of New York.
