Warwick Bar Conservation Area covers an area of 16.2 hectares (40 acres) where the Birmingham-to-London Grand Union Canal meets the Digbeth Branch Canal.[1] It was designated such status on 25 June 1987.[2] It covers the entire length of the Digbeth Branch Canal through the Eastside area and a section of the River Rea. To the south is the Digbeth, Deritend and Bordesley High Streets Conservation Area.[1]
The conservation area includes three of the statutorily listed buildings in Birmingham, each built by the canal company in the 1840s and 1850s, and a locally listed canal warehouse built in 1935. In total, there are five listed buildings and six locally listed buildings.[1] One locally listed building, the former Co-op furniture factory works (1899) on Belmont Row was destroyed by fire on 11 January 2007 in a suspected arson attack. Seventy-five percent of the building was damaged by a fire which caused the roof to collapse and which also destroyed seven arched windows.[3] On 18 January 2007, the façade of the building, which had survived the fire albeit smoke damaged, collapsed in on itself in high winds owing to the lack of support it received after the fire had been put out. This building had been due to be redeveloped as part of the Ventureast regeneration project

With current temperatures in the seventies around our cabin, and in the eighties just to the north of us - Doc and I decided it was a good time to do a little traveling before borders open, and travel to our state resumes. So off we went . . .
After recent torrential rains, the Slana Slough looked so pretty in its summer greens, that I couldn't resist taking another shot of the area. The Mentasta Mountains are in the background.
Embarcadero Center (complex built throughout the seventies) and the Transamerica Pyramid (completed in 1972).
NS 1310 still in the blue outfit of the NS used in the sixties and seventies, hauls a consist of 6 coaches, five 'Plan E' and a brand new IC coach. The train is spotted just before the station Klimmen-Ransdaal in the far southeast of the Netherlands.

The train is coming from Heerlen, travels to Maastricht via Valkenburg, a popular holiday town in the Netherlands. North of Maastricht the coaches run as a regular intercity to Amsterdam and the coastal town Zandvoort aan Zee.

Today I was wondering why everything on my Friends page is orange - didn't realize that they are all crazy. At least on Tuesdays.
In 1972 I came to school, and my first bike was orange, also in that year.

Commonly known as moth orchids, is a genus of about seventy species of orchids in the family orchid. Orchids in this genus are monopodial epiphytes or lithophytes with long, coarse roots, short, leafy stems and long-lasting, flat flowers arranged in a flowering stem that often branches near the end. Orchids in this genus are native to India, China, Southeast Asia, New Guinea and Australia with the majority in Indonesia and the Philippines. A few to many, small to large, long-lasting, flat, often fragrant flowers are arranged on erect to hanging racemes or panicles. The sepals and petals are free from and spread widely apart from each other. The lateral sepals are usually larger than the dorsal sepal and the petals much wider than the sepals. The labellum is joined stiffly to the column and has three lobes. The side lobes are erect and more or less parallel to each other and the middle lobe sometimes has a pair of appendages or antennae.

Day Seventy-One: February 21st, 2007.
Suffering from conflicting thoughts. I'm awakened by a dream at 4:00am. A dream about someone I shouldn't really be dreaming about. I don't know why I am. Especially now.
I guess I've been having conflicting thoughts about her lately but I haven't said anything. Because I know she's clear in her thinking. And I have the sneaky suspicion that the thoughts I'm having are more about me just being lonely than anything else. So it probably really isn't about her. Probably.
Conversations with friends later on cement it in my head. They are just passing thoughts and they'll go away. It's not worth pursuing or mentioning.
Good.
Potential mistake averted.
Roll over.
Go back to sleep.
