Rediscovered this jigsaw while decluttering.
Jigsaw's title is; 'Voyage to Murrlis Sea' by Josephine Wall. It is dated 2001.
There appears to be one missing piece, something I see repeated often on online aution sites where beautiful jigsaws such as this an often sell for 'funny money' . However, this is one jigsaw I'll be keeping.
Reasons being, Josephine's work was very popular at a significant time in my life and
I adore her work, especially the memories this one holds.
The demolition of three existing stands has been completed and the site remodelled with steelwork that will form the eye-catching new West Stand, which has started to take shape in recent weeks.

finally done..tooks me about 1 week to complete this project b/c of the drying time required inbetween steps.
This is the dashboard of my 2003 Dodge Caravan after it was completely reassembled. The Air Blend Door shaft broke making the temperature control useless. The cost of repair would take $1000.00 or more depending upon who you take it to. The high price is due to the fact that the temperature blend door is located behind the dashboard.
At 1st I faulted the mechanics for wanting too much money for such a small part. It's like they think the average person is walking around with $1000 in their pocket. Having seen for myself what was involved with replacing the part, I now understand the cost.
By the way, here is an update from a person who found a quicker and easier way to repair/replace the part. It is not a professional fix but, it is a good option for those who do not have either the time or the patience to remove a dashboard.
However, what I don't understand is why a vulnerable part is placed in such a way the average person will not be financially able to replace it when it fails. It looks like they are using cheap parts and they don't care. I hope that is not the case but, that is how it looks.
Until now, my parents and I have had great results with Chrysler products. A 1966 Oldsmobile Jetstar 88 was the last Non-Chrysler my father owned. At the time I remember him carefully researching all the vehicles of the time. He purchased a 1989 Chrysler Newport. Every 4 or so years he would purchase a new Chrysler. Here is the car he had in 1984.
A nearly complete curve.
Workers replaced track atop the structure around the S-curve at Hubbard Street (just north of the Merchandise Mart station on the Brown & Purple Lines).
Work was largely wrapped up on the curve on this final weekend when the Wells St. Bridge was also closed for construction, consolidating and minimizing inconveniences and improving efficiency on the project.

For my first Gunpla, and my first plastic model (outside of LEGO) that I have built in years, it does not look too bad. My next kit will be more in depth and be a completely painted kit to help hide any mistakes (nub marks, seam lines, etc.) that are made during the build. Overall I am very satisfied with this kit.
Dehiscence is complete for these slime mold fruiting bodies of Metatrichia vesparium. The capillitium, or the orange fibrous material, has pushed all of the caps off of the peridia, leaving behind what look like paper wasp nests as at upper left. The capillitium strands are actually each a helical structure of multiple smaller strands. They have remarkable elastic elongation. Found in the Moraine Nature Preserve.

The North Shore Yacht Club is an historically significant--not to mention architecturally significant--part of California's legacy. The North Shore Yacht club was the whimsical design of noted architect Albert Frey, who just happened to be a resident of the Coachella Valley. Completed in 1958 by developers Ray Ryan and Trav Rogers, North Shore Beach Yacht Club was one of the largest marinas in Southern California and carried a price tag of $2 million. Celebrities like The Beach Boys, Jerry Lewis, and the Marx Brothers partied there and / or docked boats at the marina.

A promotional video for the Yacht Club in its heyday - check out how nice this place once was:

This location is featured in the music video Swing Out Sister - Fooled By A Smile: www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlFIj0DZh6A
Abandoned for a few decades, this place has now been restored.
Thanks to federal stimulus funding and the work of the East Valley Historical Society, the North Shore Yacht Club has been renovated to its original appearance.
The revamped club will serve as a senior center, community center, and museum - the latter under the direction of North Shore preservationist Jennie Kelly, who has already helped bring the long-extinct boat races back to the sea. The new museum is where the tale of Albert Frey's shimmering yacht club - with its fantastic ups and downs - will finally be told.
The building and museum will be open to the public in the very near future.

The Church of the Nativity is a basilica located in Bethlehem. The church was originally commissioned in 327 AD by Constantine and his mother Helena over the site that is still traditionally considered to be located over the cave that marks the birthplace of Jesus. The Church of the Nativity’s original basilica was completed in 339 AD and destroyed by fire during the Samaritan Revolts in the sixth century AD. A new basilica was built 565 AD by Justinian, the Byzantine Emperor, restoring the architectural tone of the original. The site of the Church of the Nativity has had numerous additions since this second construction, including its prominent bell towers. Due to its cultural and geographical history, the site holds a prominent religious significance to those of both the Christian and Muslim faiths.
The site of the Church of the Nativity is a World Heritage Site, and was the first to be listed under Palestine by UNESCO and is also on UNESCO's List of World Heritage Sites in Danger.
•The main Basilica of the Nativity is maintained by the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem. It is designed like a typical Roman basilica, with five aisles (formed by Corinthian columns) and an apse in the eastern end, where the sanctuary is. The church features golden mosaics covering the side walls, which are now largely decayed. The basilica is entered through a very low door, called the "Door of Humility." The original Roman style floor has since been covered over, but there is a trap door in the modern floor which opens up to reveal a portion of the original mosaic floor. The church also features a large gilded iconostasis, and a complex array of lamps throughout the entire building. The wooden rafters were donated by King Edward IV of England. The same king also donated lead to cover the roof; however, this lead was later taken by the Ottoman Turks, who melted it down for ammunition to use in war against Venice. Stairways on either side of the Sanctuary lead down by winding stairs to the Grotto.
•The adjoining Church of St. Catherine, the Roman Catholic Church, was built in a more modern Gothic revival style, and has since been further modernized according to the liturgical trends which followed Vatican II. This is the church where the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem celebrates Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve. Certain customs still observed in this Midnight Mass predate Vatican II, but must be maintained because the "status quo" (the customs, rights and duties of the various church authorities that have custody of the Holy Places) was legally fixed by a firman in 1852, under the Ottoman Empire, that is still in force to this day.
•The Bas-relief of the Tree of Jesse is a large work by well-known religious sculptor Czesław Dźwigaj which was recently incorporated into the Church of St. Catherine as a gift of Pope Benedict XVI during his trip to the Holy Land in 2009. Measuring in at 3.75 by 4 metres (12.3 by 13.1 ft), its corpus represents an olive tree figuring as the Tree of Jesse displaying Christ's lineage from Abraham through St. Joseph along with other biblical motifs. Situated along the passage used by pilgrims making their way to the Grotto of the Nativity, the bas relief also incorporates symbolism from the Old Testament. The upper portion is dominated by a crowned figure of Christ the King in an open armed pose blessing the Earth.[28]
•The Grotto of the Nativity, an underground cave located beneath the basilica, enshrines the site where Jesus is said to have been born. The exact spot is marked beneath an altar by a 14-pointed silver star set into the marble floor and surrounded by silver lamps. This altar is denominationally neutral, although it features primarily Armenian Apostolic influences. Another altar in the Grotto, which is maintained by the Roman Catholics, marks the site where traditionally Mary laid the newborn Baby in the manger.
•Numerous Chapels are found in the compound as well, including the Chapel of Saint Joseph, commemorating the angel's appearance to Joseph, commanding him to flee to Egypt (Matthew 2:13); the Chapel of the Innocents, commemorating the children killed by Herod (Matthew 2:16–18); and the Chapel of Saint Jerome, where traditionally he translated the Bible into Latin (the Vulgate).
•Manger Square, a large paved courtyard in front of the Church, is the site where crowds gather on Christmas Eve to sing Christmas carols in anticipation of the midnight services.

A few weeks ago I had two new water heaters and a new furnace installed. Well today was the inspection from the city government to make sure that everything was in order. The inspector gave a cursory look at the work, said that the company that did the work usually did a great job.
As we talked a bit further he told me that he was getting fired from his job as a city inspector in two weeks. I asked why, he told me because he refused to get vaccinated. He said that he had Covid earlier in the pandemic, and apparently did not believe in the vaccine. His wife had one dose of a vaccine, and apparently lost her short term memory.
I can understand when loved ones have real side effects from vaccines they become wary of the vaccine because of personal knowledge of loved ones that have had side effects. He told me that because he already had COVID that he was protected. So he joins his wife who already lost her job because she would not get fully vaccinated (she too had Covid).
We spoke a bit further, and it became evident to me that he is picking and choosing what information he wants to believe in. Now I believe we all do the same and that we are living in an echo chamber. But he began to cite studies saying that over 5000 people have died from the vaccine and pointed to that as proof that it wasn’t safe. Well if you look up the statistics it’s a very small percentage of the number of people that got the vaccine in the United States. Unfortunately if you were one of those people or if you had a loved one who died from the vaccine it doesn’t matter how big or small that number is. But it points out that you can lie with statistics that’s the old saying goes.
So with rugged individualism in the United States, conservatives would rather have these decisions about vaccine mandates and other things determined at a local level and not on a state or even a national level.
In my view the problem is when local elections are tailored in such a way that not everybody votes and then only a small percentage of people get to determine what happened to the larger group of people. A big problem in any democracy but apparently even more so in the United States.
My two cents.
