What do you do when Easter Weekend airfare+car rental from Grenada to Trinidad (90 miles) is the same price as Grenada to Los Angeles (3900 miles)?
You go to Los Angeles with American Airlines, and still get there (and back) faster than Trinidad with LIAT.

Manhattan Beach, California
One weekend, 54 hours, to create new companies, learn things you never thought you would learn, make new friends and grow as a person.

Sharonville, Ohio. Seen at this weekend's HorrorHound convention which is a celebration of monster and horror films. We all need a good excuse to dress up and many of us can't wait until Halloween.

30 urodziny żony to idealny moment i pretekst żeby odwiedzić jakieś ciekawe miasto. Ja wymyśliłem sobie ze pojedziemy do Mediolanu. Byłem w Barcelonie dwa razy i myślałem ze to miasto jest piękne, ale Mediolan w moich oczach jest dużo bardziej atrakcyjny. Podczas tego weekendu zobaczyliśmy najbardziej popularne atrakcje tego miasta. Na pewno tam wrócimy, bo pizza i makarony były przepyszne! Na wycieczkę zabrałem ze sobą swój Fujifilm XT4 oraz TTartisans 23mm F 1.4. Idealny zestaw na taka miejska wycieczkę.

I spent a great weekend, photographing dances. My main setup was 3 Indra 500's. I set up a 4th light with a wide angel dish and grid way off to camera left. I changed the channel for that light and had a second remote on my D810 with a Sigma 35mm. My hope was to catch the in-between shot when the dancers were thinking about the pose they wanted to do. I only got 33 images with that setup, but I'm digging how it worked out.
BN (FW&D) Wichita Falls, Texas, 23 February 1978
After train watching 3 weekends in October, 1977, I waited 4 months before I returned to the Fort Worth and Dener yard in Wichita Falls on 23 Feb 1978.
In the meantime, I had flown home for Christmas break and done some train watching in Sacramento and Roseville, been promoted from E1 to E2 (everyone was after 6 months, unless you seriously messed up), briefly had a girlfriend (she was in a 1 month tech school program and was only at Sheppard AFB for a month before continuing her training at another base), turned 21 on beer bust night at the local topless bar ($2 for all the tap beer you could drink, 3 of us drank 6 pitchers over the course of the evening) and marched to and from classes in sun, hot, cold, rain and snow.
I guess I had kept busy, learning electronic theory and then something of how to maintain Teletype machines. I would have nearly another month at Sheppard before heading home, with the last couple of weeks of that time being training on the off line KL-7 crypto machine, a descendant of the Enigma machine of WW2, Bletchly Park and Alan Turing fame.
23 Feb was a sunny Saturday. Probably a bit cool, but the snow had melted and it was obviously a beautiful day. As usual, the yard was not exactly hopping with activity, but a couple of U-boats showed up with a south-east bound freight, cut off and went to the engine facilty. SW1200 607 was still the yard switcher. I must have had a roll of black and white film in my camera, used it up on the arrival of the freight and then switched to Kodachrome. The base had a darkroom that we could use and I developed the negatives and printed a few of them.
A couple of MOW head end cars and San Luis Southern reefers caught my eye. The SLS cars had what appeared to be "Allied Full Cushion" trucks from WW2 troop sleepers, and must have been inteded for express service in passenger and mail trains.
I wonder if when I got on the bus back to base if I realized that I had taken the last railroad photos I that I would take in Wichita Falls, at least for another 38 years and counting. I've not been back since the day tech school let out, although I did get as close as Fort Worth, about 100 miles away in 2010. I've thought about driving around the US when I retire in a few years and swinging by Wichita Falls to see what has changed. Looking at Google Maps, it looks like that engine facility is gone, but the big elevator in the background of some photos is still there. Wichita Falls now has a railroad museum with a Burlington 2-8-0 in what was a patch of bare ground in the background of some of my photos.
There is, I believe, a lot more traffic on the BNSF through town these days, with Powder River coal heading south to Texas power plants. The UP's ex-Katy yard also looks busier with heavier rail and more units lying around in the Google photos. The town does not look much different from what I remember if Street View is to be believed.
And at the south end of Sheppard Access Road, the Alibi topless bar, where we celebrated my 21st birthday as women gyrated to "Gold Dust Woman" and other hits of 1978, is now the Krank It Karoke Kafe.
