CP 472 makes it way through the town of Fairdale, IL which was destroyed by a tornado in early April of 2015.
I think I need a cigarette...
Yes, I took a shot of this before, but when I passed it again, I couldn't resist getting the sign in there too, which made me giggle like the child I am. Thank goodness it wasn't a "slippery when wet" sign, I'd have probably peed myself laughing.
What the little sign in front says can be found here.
Larry's opened in 1960 near the banks of the Brazos River on Highway 90A in Richmond. They're still open and serving up wonderful Tex-Mex cuisine! Richmond,Texas. 9.2.2016.
Rudolf Bischoff, a German who died very early in the Great War and is buried in Plymouth, England.
Aged 26, he was one of the 111 injured Germans who arrived at Devonport in late September 1914. He was suffering from a shot-wound in his hand which became infected with tetanus from which he died. Bischoff was a Prussian Reservist and before the war had been a gardener.
He was accorded military honours but the funeral was a quiet one, with a firing party of fourteen Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, a gun carriage and a plain oak coffin draped with the German flag. There were no pallbearers.
"It was a soldier's funeral, and, though an enemy, Bischoff was accorded the honours due to one who laid down his life for his country." (Western Evening Herald)
The main German cemetery in the UK is the Deutscher Soldatenfriedhof in Staffordshire. The remains of Germans were taken there and reburied unless they were already buried in a plot or cemetery maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. That is the case in Plymouth. Under a reciprocal agreement, all German graves are cared for by the CWGC.
The Daily Shoot #275: Make a photograph that features a sign of some sort today. Maybe a stop sign. Maybe an information sign. Or an advert.
Someone mentioned motels in Santa Rosa so here we are. One of my fave places along 66 in New Mexico.
I'm showing my classical literature upbringing :-)
Update if interested:
I've seen some specialists (have another to see this week) and it's good news/bad news. Good new: the problems and pain don't require surgery ... but, bad news, they stem from my rheumatoid arthritis so not a lot can be done. Hoping for better living through chemistry and physical therapy :-)
But since there's no anti-tarnishing guarantees in life for anyone, we all do the best we can with what we're given. If there was a guarantee, I'd have returned this a long time ago.
Thanks for visits, views, and past comments. I appreciate you all and hope to be able to get back to commenting, especially with my special Flickr Friends (that's you if you stopped by :-)
