Worth Furnace & Sheet Metal Shop, located one block wast of Harlem Avenue on 111th Street in Worth, Illinois. Building was demolished many years ago and replaced with a nondescript strip mall.
My twin sister Loretta and her husband Frank came up to Seattle from Portland for a visit yesterday. Seattle is one of the top tourist attractions in the US so where else do you go when folks come up for a visit? You guessed it. :) We had lunch at Wild Ginger and then walked down to the Pike Street Market. Had a great time taking pictures if one could move their arms enough to move the camera up to the face. Dang it was packed at the Market! Like sardines. Anyway we saw the "gum wall" A first for Sassy and Me too. Shuffled through the market until we couldn't stand it anymore. We also had the stereo typical Seattle weather......rain.
This is a composition of some of the beautiful people inside the emerald city that makes it such a interesting place to visit. In front of the Market of course. Below is a collection of some of the shots they were original in before I cut them out and moved them into this shot. Some others too.
Have a great week ahead!

Mission Report: Ironclad Dominion - SteelStrand City
Date: 02-17-2324
The mission briefing commenced in the Command Information Centre (CIC) of the Spectre, with a complement of crew members present:
• Marcus Croft
• Fazzy Constantine
• Eric Regulus
• Tinman
• Bansealgair
• Vahenir
• Sparrow
• Daisy
• Chastian
• Robotgirl
• Scrap
• Alpha
This marked the crew's inaugural briefing in the newly established CIC. The atmosphere was charged with anticipation as Captain Tinman and Commander Constantine outlined the details of their upcoming mission on the planet Serados, within the Rykon territory, specifically targeting SteelStrand City, a prominent trade outpost.
Prior to the briefing, diplomatic channels were utilized by the command to liaise with SteelStrand officials, ensuring a smooth arrival under the government's auspices. Emphasis was placed on maintaining discretion, given the potentially delicate nature of the city's governance.
Of note, Marcus Croft, a recent native of SteelStrand City, had previously established connections within the locale, affording him certain privileges and insights. His counsel, alongside that of the XO, Eric Regulus, and the command, underscored the importance of adherence to local ordinances and norms to avoid unnecessary attention or punitive measures. Respect for the city's regulations and deference to its authorities were strongly advised.
Following the briefing, the crew gathered on the observation deck as the Spectre entered orbit around Serados. Upon confirmation from SteelStrand ground control, appropriate docking procedures were followed, leading the crew to disembark in the city's spaceport.
Upon arrival, registration as citizens was completed to facilitate access to designated areas. Marcus Croft guided the crew to the Sigil, their designated base of operations during their stay in SteelStrand City.
Once settled, the crew's initial objectives included familiarising themselves with the city's layout and establishing rapport within the local community. A visit to a nearby pub provided an opportunity for social interaction, albeit interrupted by the unbidden entrance of Felix Hopper, a known figure and supposed "El'Aurian" in the area, issuing cryptic warnings of impending danger.
Despite the disturbance, the crew maintained composure and subsequently engaged in informative discourse with the establishment's staff, garnering valuable insights into local customs and regulations.
Subsequent exploration led by Scrap, Vahenir, and Fazzy provided additional context regarding the city's socioeconomic landscape, encountering notable landmarks and encountering guarded areas, presumably of strategic significance.
Their observations and interactions, documented with discretion, contribute to the ongoing assessment of SteelStrand City and its environs.
With the completion of their initial reconnaissance, the crew is poised to delve deeper into their mission objectives, leveraging their newfound understanding of the city's dynamics.
Meanwhile, Scrap, Vahenir, and Fazzy ventured out as night fell. They explored the market, interacted with a busker, visited Tonald's Diner (learning it was a reference to a fictional cartoon character, and also their former nemesis), and encountered a garage worker repairing a sports car. They stumbled upon a guarded nuclear tower near an SVI HQ or Embassy, possibly linked to the Stellar Vanguard Initiative. They were warned to leave the area or obtain a permit. Pressing on, they inspected cheap rentable pods before nearing a dangerous-looking cordoned-off area near a security checkpoint and police-controlled zone.
Adhering to warnings, they returned to the city, visited the food market, and sampled Space Shrimp Dumplings. They then retired to the Sigil, their forward operations base during their stay.
With their initial exploration completed, the crew prepares to delve deeper into the city, align with factions, and undertake their mission objectives.
End of report.
Conclusions:
The initial foray into SteelStrand City has provided the BluShock crew with valuable insights into the city's societal dynamics, regulatory framework, and potential challenges. Key highlights from the mission report include:
• Local Dynamics: The city is characterised by a mix of industrial activity, governmental control, and the presence of various factions, including law enforcement and criminal elements.
• Marcus Croft's Influence: Marcus Croft's pre-existing connections within the city afford the crew certain privileges and insights, enhancing their operational capabilities.
• Adherence to Regulations: The crew's adherence to local regulations and respect for authorities is crucial to avoiding unwanted attention and legal repercussions.
• Cryptic Warning: Felix Hopper's cryptic warning about the Djinn and their "machines of Death" hints at potential threats lurking within the city. Further investigation is warranted to assess the validity of this warning.
• Exploratory Endeavors: Scrap, Vahenir, and Fazzy's exploratory endeavors shed light on notable landmarks, guarded areas, and potential points of interest, including the SVI HQ or Embassy and the guarded nuclear tower.
Follow-On Actions:
• Investigate Felix Hopper's Warning: Further investigation is required to ascertain the veracity of Felix Hopper's warning about the Djinn and their potential threat to SteelStrand City. This may involve gathering additional intelligence from local sources and conducting reconnaissance missions in areas of interest.
• Establish Contact with Local Factions: Building rapport with key factions within SteelStrand City, including law enforcement, governmental authorities, and influential individuals, will be essential for navigating the city's complex political landscape and gathering actionable intelligence.
• Enhance Situational Awareness: Given the presence of guarded areas and potential threats, the crew should remain vigilant and prioritise enhancing situational awareness through surveillance and reconnaissance efforts.
• Continue Exploration: The crew should continue their exploration of SteelStrand City, identifying potential allies, resources, and strategic locations that may aid in achieving mission objectives.
• Prepare Contingency Plans: In anticipation of unforeseen challenges or hostile encounters, the crew should develop contingency plans and operational protocols to ensure the safety and success of their mission.
By implementing these follow-on actions, the BluShock crew can effectively navigate the complexities of SteelStrand City, mitigate potential risks, and advance towards achieving their mission objectives.

Mission Report: Veiled Nexus
Date: 07-06-2324
Location: Valtoria Colony - Valtoria Surface
Crew Present:
• Fazzy Constantine (Alias: Aeson Varr)
• Tinman
• Vahenir (Alias: Rontig)
• Daisy MacKenzie (Alias: Minnie Maxwell)
• Scrap (Alias: Murder Mason)
• Zeth Ryder (Alias: Solomon Gunn)
• Varik (Alias: Isaac)
• Chastian Necrosa (Alias: Splicer)
• Robotgirl (Alias: Roberta)
Special Appearance:
Idris (Antiques Seller)
Mission Overview:
The time was rapidly approaching to uncover the true nature of the artifact concealed by Governor Hom Tarris. The BluShock crew gathered in their safehouse to review the events of the past week. Undercover operations had been conducted within the Cartel, with certain crew members posing as criminals to infiltrate the Cartel's warehouse. This deception was essential for gaining the trust required to access the secured server room.
Undercover Operations and Warehouse Infiltration:
Zeth Ryder and Varik, under the aliases Solomon Gunn and Isaac respectively, joined the Cartel later than others but had convincing backstories that facilitated their integration. Following a thorough briefing in the safehouse, the crew proceeded towards the warehouse, encountering Idris, an enigmatic antiques seller, along the way. After a brief exchange, the crew continued to the warehouse, where the new recruits were introduced to Cranky Carl and the other operatives.
Carl, satisfied with their performance, granted Fazzy, Vahenir, and Daisy access to the upper floor, as they had completed the most assignments for the Cartel. Upon verifying their identities, the trio proceeded to the server room. Inside, they discovered a note containing an encrypted password, left carelessly by a Cartel member. With this information, Fazzy and Vahenir accessed the encrypted files.
Discoveries within the Server Room:
The files revealed extensive information about Ronald Maccie, a former Cartel member, and his schemes. The data included details on the Starfire Cartel's operations, financial records, and their obsession with the artifact. Notably, it was uncovered that Ronald, Carl, and Hom Tarris had been secretly collaborating to unlock the artifact, with limited success. The arrival of the BluShock crew had disrupted their plans, leading to the Cartel's attempts to undermine the crew.
The files also disclosed that Hom, Ronald, and Carl were members of the Radiant Order, a cult previously encountered by BluShock on the jungle world of Sirun. This revelation was startling, linking the Cartel's activities to the cult's worship of ancient ships.
Descent to the Surface and Initial Exploration:
With the critical data downloaded, the crew received a surface pass from the Governor and prepared to descend. Vahenir scouted a landing site for Daisy's Albatross dropship, ensuring a safe descent despite the unstable terrain. Upon landing, the crew disembarked to find stunning landscapes featuring a vast lake, ice-capped mountains, and a distant spaceship wreck that intrigued Daisy. A pirate ship docked by the lake indicated the presence of SteamPirates.
Confrontation with Pirates:
Approaching the docked ship, the crew overheard voices from a locked room. A voice on the speaker threatened the crew, leading to an ambush by waves of pirates emerging from the water. The BluShock crew's combat prowess quickly turned the tide, eliminating the pirate threat. Vahenir confirmed there were no remaining pirates underwater before Daisy breached the locked door, revealing MacDonald Maccie, Ronald's twin brother, and his associates Jom and Terry.
Under interrogation, MacDonald provided crucial information about internal conflicts within the Cartel, Ronald's obsession with the artifact, and the circumstances leading to their current predicament. MacDonald expressed his disinterest in the artifact, focusing instead on piracy and smuggling, and revealed Ronald's betrayal and escape towards the artifact.
Confrontation at the Artifact:
Navigating through the woods, the crew reached the artifact, guarded by hostile personnel. A tense exchange ensued, with the guards becoming aggressive and initiating combat. The crew swiftly neutralized the threat and began examining the artifact. At this critical juncture, Hom Tarris, Cranky Carl, and Ronald appeared, applauding the crew's efforts.
Hom Tarris issued an ultimatum, threatening to destroy the region unless the crew unlocked the artifact. Fazzy agreed to buy time, while Zeth covertly hacked into Hom's detonator, successfully disabling it. The crew continued their efforts to unlock the artifact, with Chastian and Vahenir working on deciphering its mechanisms.
The Artifact Unveiled:
The artifact's protective barrier shattered, revealing a golden galactic egg. Hom Tarris was captivated by the sight, pushing others aside to get a closer look. The crew drew their weapons, ready to end the standoff, when Saeed Massani descended from the sky, revealing himself as an undercover space cop investigating Hom and Carl. Saeed's intervention exposed the full extent of their crimes, leading to Ronald's attempted escape and subsequent elimination by Scrap.
Mission Debrief and Conclusion:
Back at the warehouse, Saeed took control, planning to reform the Cartel. Daisy advised disbanding the Cartel, a suggestion Saeed considered. The crew retired to the bar, where Fazzy compiled a comprehensive report for Chelly Kambers, detailing the mission's events and outcomes.
Mission Veiled Nexus was a resounding success. The BluShock crew dismantled a web of corruption, secured the golden galactic egg, and ensured the colony's safety. With newfound knowledge and experience, the crew stands ready for future challenges, prepared to face whatever lies ahead in their ongoing adventures.

We all have our way of commemorating something special and since 2014 is the 75th Anniversary of the movie "The Wizard Of Oz" one of my favourites, my Lalaloopsy dressed as the Tin Man and her little dog Toto wish to remember this movie in their own special way. I have watched the Wizard Of Oz many times and will no doubt watch it many more. When I became aware of the political connotations of the movie it really made me think about it. It's very true, L Frank Baum, who wrote the story supposedly did it to represent a political slant which was well hidden in the story. Regardless this is one of the best loved movies of our time!

The Annual Wizard of Oz Festival in Wilmington Illinois started at the Mar Theatre with the showing of the Judy Garland classic the Wizard of Oz with photo ops with the Winged Monkey and the Tinman.
Roubei a Wig da Ana e coloquei uma bandana nele, agora já tó mais tranquila.
Esse Tae é bem lindo <333
Chastian and Tinman took the Mjolnir whilst Fazzy and Zorath powered up the shuttle.
But the dinnerplate ship realised their precious cargo was stolen from them and issued a ship-wide alert. Their captain hailed BluShock team members and threatened to attack, but Chastian had enough of her BS and opened fire with Mjolnir's firepower.
The ship exploded, unbeknownst to some, some starfleet vessels are extremely flimsy and get damaged very easily. This one seems to have shields disabled and was vanished in seconds.
With the shuttle secure, the Mjolnir escorts the Shuttle back to the Sleipnir.
