Remodel, Week 19
(cont.) ...so I'll tell you! Sam's couldn't just shut down the café entirely, so what they did instead was reduce it to a very bare-bones operation. That tiny temporary counter you see in this shot is the entirety of the café kitchen; they're serving exclusively hot dogs for the time being. Even the old drink machines (which would have been where the current temp counter is) are gone – they're reduced to serving canned Cokes, haha!
For those members who may have been wanting some sort of other food option, such as pizza, my “Samsple contact” told me that they (that is, the sample crew) were going to do a pizza sample pretty much every day until such time as the café is able to reopen, and moreover, that they aren't allowed to limit the number of pizza samples a customer takes – even if other people are standing in line behind him/her, which seems quite rude, honestly! But I guess it is what it is...
Also in this view (which was actually taken on October 28th), you can see that the café tables have been placed more tightly together due to the limited space. You'd think that would be okay, since surely less people would be eating at the café with the severely limited menu, but from what I've seen this still hasn't stopped people from getting their Sam's cafe fix, haha!
On the left of the shot, affixed to the remodel wall, you can see the poster advertising the new café coming soon. (A bit unfortunate that I captured that parent by the trash can in that position, but on the bright side, they made it to where I could photograph the poster without anyone blocking it XD )
As of today (November 20th), the café remains under construction, and I imagine that it won't be back until after Thanksgiving at this point.

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)
This is a photograph of a temporary lighthouse in Hartlepool. Built in 1847 the wooden tower was in service until June 14th 1927. On that day the new all electric, automatic Heugh light came into service.

Just my ramblings... that don’t make sense... if you want to get confused read on... if not... then... you don’t have to ;)
Art frees, yet restricts... it unleashes what is within yet it holds back... the more you see the more you don’t see... the simpler the visual the more complex the meaning. Nothing is complete... or can be completed... i am not stating any facts these are just opinions that are coming to mind at the moment which many could or would argue with.. There came a time where I had to get a model and just plaster her and leave... create an experiment... see if she would get claustrophobic see if she will panic and try to rip it off.. First time I tried it was on myself, I don’t believe in putting people in difficult situations when I haven’t put myself in them first. I've been molding people for 6 years now... there hasn't been a time when anyone has panicked. I notice a strange calm coming over them... the tension of the plaster tightening while they sit creates a disconnect with the world, or should i say this dimension (if you believe in others).. You go where your mind takes you... that is when you are free... the restriction brings the freedom... This world is a fascinating paradox.
This is the legal graffiti wall in Farsta. It is called Farstaväggen. The Farsta wall. The address is Farstavägen. The Farsta Road, stuff like that amuses me. Anything painted here will most likely be over painted a few hours later.
The result of an adapted lesson in Photoshopping, Molly sports back and arm tattoos... but only for this photo.
Temporary Iron Assembly: A group of anonymous designers created this large sculpture (H 74, W 110, D 180 m) in the northern part of Utrecht (NL). They may have inspired Richard Serra or have been inspired by RS, although unconfirmed sources whisper that Drager Meurtant was the inspirator
Having passed on a number of other roads heading east, i finally turned onto US-6, to South Bend, figuring i would find a familiar road heading north would come our way before then. "I think we better stop and get some food, even if it's just a burger, because it is Sunday evening and there aren't a lot of people thrilled about working at this hour," Ash gently reminded me and then added more directly, "Also, I would hate to get so hungry that I started eating the macrame bag." Hint Accepted. i pulled off 6, an old 3-lane highway of death, into the next town, Hudson Lake. "I knew I should have brought my swimsuit, " Ash quipped. "Let's stop and ask those kids on the corner what's open." i pulled up next to a group of 3 teenage boys and 2 teenage girls. The boys were all wearing their varsity jackets, adorned with the letters "NP" and the name "COUGARS". They had tight "peg-leg" jeans and white socks, with Converse All-Star shoes. The girls had short hot pants, and sprayed-in-place hair, and were busily working their gum and popping bubbles with it. Ash pushed the button and lowered her window, then said: "Hi guys. Can you tell us where we could find a restaurant that's still open and has good food. The kids laughed and one of the girls answered, "Ain't no resterants in town, jes' a diner and that's closed already. The ice cream stand's still open, though." The stockiest boy added, "Thar's a new Burger Chef Drive-in on the other side of town and their burgers are jist a quarter, or 2 dimes and a nickle." They all broke into laughter in response. Ash asked how long they would be open. Again the stocky boy spoke up, "Till the Health Department shuts 'em down fer good , everybody says." Again, uproarious laughter ensued. "Don't mind Leroy, Ma'am. He's a real comediun, all the time. The Burger Chef is open till 10 or so. Are you in movies, in Hollywood movies? or on TV?" Ashley's answer caught me off guard. "Well, yes I have been ...in both, actually, but I've been taking some time off to see the country and prepare for my next film role," she explained." I knew it!,' the other gum popper gasped. "What role are y'all gettin' ready fer ? " girl 1 asked. "I can't tell you that, because of my studio contract," Ash replied, "but I will tell you that Steve McQueen is going to have the lead role." "Wowee, wait till i tell my mom 'bout this!"
Ash looked at the tall boy with serious acne, who was leaning on a power pole, and asked, "So, what does the NP on your jackets stand for? And what sport are you into?" Tall boy shyly answered, "New Prairie. Hudson Lake ain't got itself a high school no more, we're all on the basketball team." "Yeah, except for the rest of us ain't near as good as him," the previously silent boy volunteered, "he was all-state last year." "Hey, what kinda car is that , anyways? Ferrari?", asked the comedian, who then sat on the sidewalk to get a sense of how it felt to sit so low and to entertain his friends.. "It's called a Lotus, and Lotus is big in the Grand Prix in Europe," Ash told him, then turned toward me and asked, "How fast did you say this would go?" "Well, i don't know for sure, but the fastest I've ever had it was 135 mph or so, but it's really the cornering that makes it special," i told them. "As a matter of fact, we were at a race in Wisconsin just earlier today and drove one lap of the track in the parade before the Can-Am," she explained. "Thank you for telling us about the Burger Chef . I like their flame-broiled burgers myself. It's been lovely chatting with you, and I must say that it's rare to find such an attractive group of young people all in one place. Au revoir for now," she waved as we slickly completed a fast u-turn and accelerated toward our burgers. In the rear-view mirror i saw two of the boys high-five each other, just like they no doubt did after scoring a game-winning basket.
Another photo taken during our 2 weeks (almost) of gorgeous weather a little while ago; this is the Bow River in the midst of thawing out after having been covered in a thick layer of snow and ice. There are thousands of ice pieces floating down the river and the melting ice and snow along the bank beautifully reflects the trees on the hilltop on the other side of the river
Stack train 21Q heads west around the shoo fly at Battery Park as the Cleveland skyline looms in the background.
The bus stands on The Broadway have been dug up (as seen in the background), so buses from the east are having to drop off at Locke Way stop 7 if they've got layover to take before their next departure.
They seem to park here if there's room, but if it's full, then they need to go round to Duke Street. If that's full, then they need to go back out, and down Stanley Road and up Chertsey Road to the lower half of Duke Street, where the car parking has been suspended to create more bus parking.
The amusing part of all these arrangements is that, with the roadworks and fencing, the right turn from Duke Street back onto The Broadway to get to the pick up stands is not actually possible to do in a bus without driving over the pavement!
Here's Abellio Surrey 8443 (KM02 HFS), having come in on a 456 from Staines. It's the only of this batch of ex-London Darts to wear the new livery - although it's (still) missing vinyls and the interior is as bad as the others, so does not really compare well to the refurbished MPDs.
Locke Way, Woking, Surrey.
Bible verses from the Jan. 12 page in Light for Each Day, Vol. 1:
The world in its current form is passing away.
For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
Based on His promise, we wait for the new heavens and a new earth, where righteousness will dwell.
1 Cor. 7:31, 2 Cor. 4:18, 2 Pet. 3:13, HCSB

Sand artist Denny Dyke draws crowds to Face Rock State Scenic Viewpoint in Bandon, Oregon, with labyrinths raked onto the beach. He estimates that 5,500 people walked the 65 spiral works he and his Circles in the Sand team created in 2016.
Why make labyrinths? They're traditionally a meditation tool, among other uses. Walking one is a time to be quiet, a few moments when you don't have to worry about where you're going.
How is a labyrinth different from a maze? The goal in mazes is to find your way out. They build anxiety, frustration. A labyrinth, with its slow turns, is just the opposite—a single path to (and sometimes through) the center and back out. No dead ends. You walk to the center to get resolution and affirmation, then bring it back out into your life.
How do you create one? After surveying the sand, I use a four-inch rake to start drawing. The detail designer follows my lead, the head groomer fills in voids, and up to eight guest groomers do shading to make the paths pop.
When can I walk a labyrinth? About every other week, I'll be drawing at Face Rock wayside. [See onepath.us for dates.] Visitors take about 15 minutes to walk the full labyrinth, which can be anywhere from a quarter to half a mile.

My ramp had a bit of any adventure this afternoon. It got hit by a car. A neighbor was parked without setting the parking brake and the car rolled down the hill, across my yard, and into the flower pots in front of the ramp. It came to a rest against the ramp. Nobody was hurt, the daffodils and iris will recover, and plastic pots are easily replaced. I am pretty sure the ramp is OK but have asked the vendor to come take a look, just in case.

Great Lakes Fleet's Arthur M. Anderson sleeps away her, hopefully temporary layup at the CN ore dock in Duluth.
Metroline recently won the 251 contract from RATP. The stipulated new electrics aren’t ready yet, so the route has started with 66 reg DEL’s, such as DEL2253 seen at Totteridge War Memorial after I alighted it. 16.10.23.
This is where the gorgeous murciélago SV used to be. (look back in my gallery) Now there is this 458 Italia. Why? The SV needed to be checked due to a technical problem so it's now in Lamborghini Beirut.
But pending its return he just had to choose from one of his many cars in UAE and brought it here :)

Ten years ago, the 2012 Olympic Games took place in Stratford in the East End of London. This week, to remember that great occasion I'm posting a number of photos taken over the course of the two weeks. Some are improved versions of shots already posted, but the majority are new images I've not previously shared with the public.
The Basketball Arena had 12,000 seats for Olympic basketball and the semi-finals and finals of the Olympic handball, and 10,000 for Paralympic wheelchair basketball and wheelchair rugby. Earlier, the arena had also used as a holding area for athletes during the Opening Ceremony. Concept designs by Wilkinson Eyre Architects were agreed in June 2008 and a planning application was submitted that November.
It was a temporary venue, and the largest built for any Games. The possibility of subsequently deconstructing the arena and transporting it to Rio de Janeiro for the 2016 Summer Olympics was discussed, though the plan was shelved due to doubts from some Brazilian officials about its feasibility.
Paisley-based Barr Construction began building the main arena in spring 2010, completing it in 15 months in June 2011. After the Stadium, I think it is the most iconic building on the Olympic Park.
I promised to my wife that I'll finish renovating the lower level ASAP so I can move all the audio equipment and LPs there. 😉

DOUBLE-DECKER BUSES TO MAKE GISBORNE RUN
Published: January 20, 2016
Visitors wanting to come here will soon be able to do so in comfort with the introduction of double-decker buses.
Just two months after it announced a new Napier to Gisborne route in addition to its existing Rotorua-Gisborne route, ManaBus.com has confirmed it has completed a $10.5 million investment that will introduce 15 new buses, including 13 double-decker vehicles, on its North Island routes.
The additions to the fleet will be launched over the next 12 months, with a new bus hitting the road on January 21. A decision on which route the double-deckers will operate is still being considered.
ManaBus.com chief executive Sheryll Otway said the additions would offer spacious layouts, including scenic top deck seating, additional table configurations and robust wi-fi so travellers could stay connected throughout the journey.
“The new double-decker buses take 65 passengers and include a new layout with additional tables for passenger convenience and comfort. All buses have reclining seats, power and USB outlets at every seat, free wi-fi, on-board toilets and are also wheelchair-friendly.”
ManaBus.com, which acquired nakedbus.com in May, would not have to increase bus fares to fund the investment.
“We do not plan to increase the average prices for the new fleet — $1 fares are absolutely a success, as it has given a lot of people the chance to travel.” - Gisborne Herald
