"The Christian finds in human work a small part of the Cross of Christ and accepts it in the same spirit of redemption in which Christ accepted his Cross for us. In work, thanks to the light that penetrates us from the Resurrection of Christ, we always find a glimmer of new life, of the new good, as if it were an announcement of "the new heavens and the new earth" in which man and the world participate precisely through the toil that goes with work. Through toil-and never without it. On the one hand this confirms the indispensability of the Cross in the spirituality of human work; on the other hand the Cross which this toil constitutes reveals a new good springing from work itself, from work understood in depth and in all its aspects and never apart from work" - Pope Bl. John Paul II.
Domestic work is part of the life of a Domincian friar, which we do well to celebrate and recall on today's feast of St Martha.

The Capehart Crocker House (apparently most commonly called Capehart House) is a fine example of Queen Anne-style architecture, constructed in 1898 for Lucy Catherine Capehart and her second husband, B. A. Capehart, who died in 1899 shortly after moving in. Mrs. Capehart died in 1908. The house eventually was the home of sheriff H. G. Crocker. In 1947 it was turned into apartments and then used as offices for state government in 1971. In 1979 when much of the neighborhood was being torn down, the house was moved from Wilmington Street to Blount Street, an area associated with the well-to-do. A sign in front indicates it’s now the offices of the North Carolina State Ethics Commission.
From virtually any angle, the roofline is a wonderland of shapes and lines. The National Register website states “Its dramatic massing of towers, turrets, dormers and pediments is complemented by a rich combination of colors and textures, including pressed tan brick, rough stone, patterned slate shingles, stained glass and elaborate wood ornamentation.”
The architect is Adolphus G. Bauer (1858-1898), a local architect, whose life could form the basis of a fascinating book (fiction or non-fiction); it even has enough dramatic possibilities for a movie. He committed suicide before the home was completed. Mostly demolished, his structures showed a flair for the elaborate asymmetrical design of that period. Perhaps his most notable achievement was the Baptist Female Seminary of Raleigh, which later evolved into Meredith College. Another standing example is the North Carolina School for the Deaf at Morganton.
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places 17 January 1975, NRHP Reference #75001293

I'm in hardware experimentation mode, trying out a mac keyboard and a "dedicated-to-code" screen which is flipped 90 degrees.
On the left is where I do my design work (Illustrator is open with an infographic, and InDesign is open with next month’s newsletter), and on the right is all my social media work (yes, that’s 10 tabs open).
In Morocco, roughly one-third of the population is employed in agriculture, another one-third make their living in mining, manufacturing, and construction, and the remainder are occupied in the trade, finance, and service sectors. Not included in these estimates is a large informal economy of street vendors, domestic workers, and other underemployed and poorly paid individuals.

Linemen at work on the pole behind Staples Plaza. They are replacing the overhead service drops to each store with underground lines to a bank of grouped meters.
GTW 4928 leads train #533 east to do work at Hilbert, then down to New Holstein on the former MILW Superior Sub on 9-4-16. The 4928 is a former MP unit that was acquired in the late 80's by the GTW, and has been a fixture around Neenah for the past month or so. Until recently this shot would have had a large overhead pipe that crossed the tracks from the site of the old Bergstrom Paper mill to the Minergy plant, that was recently demolished. While it was much better to watch them pull and spot cars at the mill, this opened up a new shot, of which the light has finally come around early enough to get.
