Lois browsing the 366 groups pictures. I called home from work after school to remind her to take her daily picture but she confidently told me she'd already got her shot before she'd left for the day. She gets taken to school at 6:45 so she'd already got her shot of the day before I'd had breakfast. Impressed

I had been putting off a switch to Firefox mainly because I couldn't find a theme that I liked as much as the look and feel of Safari. Then Rick pointed me to the Safari Theme for firefox. After much gnashing of teeth in the bookmark-wrangling arena, I have it up and running and like it pretty well.
That's Safari on the top, Safari-themed Firefox on the bottom.
Browsing at the new GuitarGuitar shop in Camden today. Good to see a music shop opening rather than closing. Saw some beautiful guitars, in particular these from Suhr, as much works of art as musical instruments.

Railways, the technology that transformed Europe and America in the 19th century, may yet play a significant role in the future economic development of Uganda.
Two U.S. Army logisticians, John Hanson from U.S. Army Africa’s G-4 Programs and Policy Branch, and Lloyd Coakley, from the Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command’s Transportation Engineering Agency, conducted a four-day assessment of Ugandan railway infrastructure Sept. 13-17 at the request of the Uganda People’s Defense Force’s Engineer Brigade.
The mission was to determine the current operational status of the Uganda railway system and its rolling stock, to assess the capability of UPDF personnel to rehabilitate the network, and to identify potential sites for training and repair operations. USARAF and SDDC were invited to contribute their expertise by Brig. Gen. Timothy Sabiiti, commander of the Uganda People’s Defense Force’s Engineer Brigade, Hanson said.
“He’s been charged with assisting in the rehabilitation of the railways. It would have a very positive economic impact, including natural resource development. It’s a five-year plan, a complete rehabilitation of the railroad. That’s why they’re doing it. It’s all civil development, but the railroad would be used by the military, too. It would enhance their mobility,” Hanson said.
Ugandan assessment team members included Engineer Murungi Daudi, Brig. Gen. George Etyang, Nakaliika Rahmat, Lt. Col. Luke Arikosi, and Engineer Kyamugambi Kasingye. Hanson, Coakley, and their Ugandan hosts, accompanied by a representative of the U.S. Embassy in Kampala, assessed the railroad stations and infrastructure in Jinja, Tororo, Mbale, Kumi, Soroti, Lira and Gulu. They also toured the Nalukolongo Railway Repair Facility in Kampala, he said.
“It’s a significant percentage of the railroad, the majority of the rail lines. We saw almost the entire rail line that has not been completely abandoned,” Hanson said.
The assessment team found the condition of the Ugandan system to vary greatly by region. The railway is still fully functional and operating in the Jinja-Tororo area, Hanson said. Tororo is the easternmost link on the line before it crosses into Kenya, heading for the coast at Mombasa.
As the team progressed north, however, damaged rails were common place, and track along the western section, from Gulu to Pakwach, is in general disrepair, a result of the area being for years under control of the Lord’s Resistance Army.
“It’s been pretty much abandoned since then,” Hanson said.
Nonetheless, the Ugandan-American team could clearly see the potential for future reconstruction.
“The Ugandan government and the UPDF are committed to returning their railway system to a fully operational status. SDDC and USARAF can assist in this effort to help build capacity, not only in Uganda, but eventually throughout the region,” Coakley said.
“It was great to partner with another Army Service Component Command on the continent,” said Hanson. “The engineers from SDDC have a lot of experience and expertise that can assist USARAF in finding solutions to the transportation and mobility issues we face throughout most of Africa.”
The railroads came to East Africa just before the turn of the 20th century, in the hey-day of European colonial expansion, and England and Germany in particular were in competition to build systems to extract the natural resources of what are today Kenya and Uganda. Beginning in the 1890s, both countries undertook mammoth engineering projects to build railroads from the Indian Ocean coast to Lake Victoria in the interior.
The development had profound economic and demographic impacts on the entire region. The influx of workers from British India to build the railways resulted in thriving Indian diaspora communities in both present day Uganda and Kenya; the growth of rail construction centers and nodes stimulated the establishment of such urban centers as Kisumu (then called Port Florence) and Nairobi, both in Kenya.
The Ugandan rail line finally reached Kampala in 1931. The northern branch, beginning in Tororo, was extended to Soroti by 1929 and reached Pakwach only in 1964.
The presently serviceable rolling stock consists of approximately 1,000 wagons and 35 diesel hydraulic locomotives, said Hanson, and though activity has been dormant in some areas for decades, and clearly in need of rehabilitation, the Ugandan system holds great promise for the future.
“SDDC has produced numerous studies on African seaports and infrastructure in the past. USARAF needs to synchronize our efforts with SDDC as they identify future locations to conduct their analyses,” Hanson said.

Our 2rd morning in Cromwell. We woke to heavy fog and went for a walk along Lake Dunstan before making our way to Wanaka.
Lake Dunstan is a man-made lake and reservoir in the South Island of New Zealand.
The lake was formed on the Clutha River as a result of the construction of the Clyde Dam, filling in four controlled stages beginning in April 1992 and completed the next year. Parts of the town of Cromwell were relocated to a new area above the new lake. Between the town of Cromwell and the Clyde Dam the lake passes through what is called the Cromwell Gorge.

PERSONAL FUN FACT: I knew I had to get this outfit for McKenna when I first began browsing her collection online in the fall of 2019. I never doubted that this would be one of the first things I bought for her. It took almost a year, but I eventually snagged this School Outfit and McKenna's Pajamas on eBay. They were both being sold by the same seller. Colleen and I each bid on one of the outfits, since they ended at the same time (it's a good thing we had a Chromebook and a desktop, or we wouldn't have been able to do so). I ended up getting the pair and as a bonus they shipped together. This outfit is a wowzer in real life. I cannot wrap my head around the quality of this sweater. I think it's more impressive than some of the sweaters Colleen owns for herself (that probably cost more money originally). Her skirt is a super thick, denim like material. I love how each Girl of the Year had her own little symbol for a while. Lanie's for instance was a dragonfly, McKenna's was this gymnast ribbon. I love how the symbol was embroidered in purple, to match the color of her sweater. I also think this outfit is extra jazzy since it came with footless tights and casual shoes. I like the layered look of this ensemble. It could have been dressier if it was paired with different shoes/bottoms. But I personally prefer a more dressed down school outfit. These shoes look almost just like McKenna's "meet" ones. When we first opened this set, Colleen was convinced we'd got the wrong shoes. But they are in fact the proper ones sold with her School Outfit...they just resemble the "meet" footwear!
This is from last December. I was browsing my laptop Aperture library in preparation for a trip to Vietnam and found a set of pictures, including this one, I had not processed from last trip to Bali.
BTW, she had her hand extended for payment.
You are invited to stay and browse through my photostream. Here's a quick index to my Flickr site:

Every city and town I've photographed is contained within its own set, and rural (as in "counrtyside") photographs are grouped by county.
Springfield, Illinois: All of my photographs of Springfield and the Abraham Lincoln Sites are in this collection. For the City of Springfield, there are separate sets for the Capitol Complex, Downtown (including the Old State Capitol), Neighborhoods, Parks, Illinois State Fairgrounds (and past State Fairs), and more. Photographs of Lincoln sites include the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum, Lincoln Home National Historic Site, Lincoln Tomb, and so on. Also in the Lincoln "All About Abe" (Set) are a few Lincoln sites not located in Springfield.

Well I think it was a Trailblazer, but to be honest it's hard to tell. (In fact it's a Grand Cherokee, see comment from Mazda6 below)
It was really foggy this morning, so some kind of roadside chaos was to be expected, but this one is pretty fearsome. Bad, bad Milt drove past taking photos, which is a big no-no, not to mention ghoulish. Still, at least I didn't stop in the middle of the road and have to be chased off by the cops, like some of the other clowns.

One may wonder, browsing my photostream, at the way I am drawn to the graves of veterans wherever I go. I find so many, silent and still and largely unvisited, unremembered and sadly, untended. I can trace back through my father's lineage, a Hendricks in the service of this country as far as the Revolutionary War. As a descendant of Albertus Hendricks, a Dutch/German settler from 1668 on the banks of the Delaware at Chester PA, a great many of our ancestors have served our country down the centuries. I am in the process of documenting these connections and wish to honor all veterans of the past who have lived, fought and died in order for us to lives the lives we lead today.
Please take a moment to listen to this song. You will not be disappointed:

"A Soldier's Silent Night"
Written By James M. Schmidt,
T'was the night before Christmas
He lived all alone,
in a one bedroom house
made of plaster and stone.
I had come down the chimney
with presents to give
To see just who,
in this dwelling did live.
I looked all around
A strange sight to see
No tinsel, no presents,
Not even a tree.
On the wall hung pictures
of far distant lands.
Metals 'n badges, awards of every kind;
A sobering thought came alive in my mind.
This house was different...
it was dark, it was dreary.
I had found the home of a soldier,
I could see that most clearly.
The soldier lay sleeping,
Silent, Alone;
Curled up on the floor
In this one bedroom home.
His face was so gentle,
The room in such disorder;
Not at all how I pictured
a United States' soldier.
Was this the hero
of whom I'd just read;
Curled up on a poncho,
the floor for a bed?
Then I realized the other families
I saw this night,
Owed their lives to soldiers
Who were willing to fight.
In the morning, round the world,
Children would play;
Grown-ups would celebrate
A bright Christmas Day.
But they all enjoy freedom
Each month of the year,
Because of soldiers
Like the one lying here.
I couldn't help but wonder
How many lay alone,
On a cold Christma Eve
In lands far from home.
The very thought
Brought a tear to my eyes;
I dropped to my knees,
I started to cry.
The soldier awakened
I heard his rough voice,
"Santa don't cry,
This life is MY choice.
I fight for freedom,
I don't ask for more;
My life is my God,
My country, My corps."
The soldier rolled over,
and drifted to sleep.
But, I couldn't control it,
I continued to weep.
I kept watch for hours,
So silent and still;
As both of us shivered
From the cold night's chill.
I didn't want to leave him
On that cold, dark night;
This guardian of honor,
So willing to fight.
Then, the soldier rolled over,
In a voice soft and pure,
He whispered, "Carry on Santa,
It's Christmas Day, all is secure."
One look at my watch,
I knew he was right.
Merry Christmas my friend,
May God bless you this night.
I think this must be one of my favourite animals. I just love their size and their graceful neck, the little tufty knobs on their head, their wonderful colouring, the soft mouth and their blue tongue. Who could resist that tongue?! Could you?
Hope your Thursday is as good as mine
