It has been awhile since I've posted a photo. We were in a car accident a few weeks ago, safe & sound but it threw our lives into disarray dealing with insurance and medical and suddenly not having a vehicle. This all on top of trying to wrap enough work up so we could go on a vacation that we'd been planning for a few weeks.
Last week we were on vacation for my 40th birthday and Artsy & Captain's normal babysitter wasn't available so we were very lucky to find a new amazing sitter on such short notice. Evidently Artsy had a little too much fun at the new sitter's place since all she has done is sleep since we've been home.
Good to be home and ready to get back to my normally scheduled life.

IOM and its humanitarian partners in Haiti were quickly on the scene after one of the first heavy storms of the hurricane season struck Corail camp in the hills above Port au Prince on 12 July.
They brought aid and assistance to those left without shelter by the storm which struck on Monday afternoon. Today they were back at the camp delivering and erecting replacement tents and providing emergency assistance..
Flying debris from the storm caused six people to be injured and damaged or destroyed 344 tents, forcing around 1,700 people to seek emergency shelter overnight.
The Corail camp looks after some 7,000 people who were displaced by the earthquake of 12 January last. They live in 1,300 family sized tents while an urgent program is underway to replace their tents with durable transitional shelters made of wood with tin roofs.
As the summer storm blasted through the exposed campsite at 4 PM on Sunday, six people were left injured by flying tent poles and were quickly taken to nearby Coix de Bouquet hospital for treatment.
An assessment team including IOM Camp Management, MINUSTAH UN police and Haitian national police was at the location 1 hour after the storm had passed.
They found the camp in considerable disarray, with anxious residents concerned for their safety and seeking shelter. As residents raised their voices and demanded help, IOM’s team of community mobilizers helped calm tempers and reassure people that help was on the way.
The IDPs were provided with emergency shelter overnight in a World Vision hall.
A team of 10 IOM staff were on hand to help while other colleagues began collecting 344 tents, 400 tarps, ropes and other essential non food items (NFIs)
This morning the tents were distributed to the IDPs at 11:00am.
World Vision, which is already building transitional shelters in Corail, donated 100 of the tents and IOM got access to a further 244 tents trough the shelter cluster and MSF Holland.
IOM helped transport the tents to Corail and supported ARC camp managers distributing the tents while making further assessments of the damage.
Security for the operation was provided by UNPOL and ambulance and military escorts were also sent to help maintain order.
This incident highlights the need to step up preparedness across the board as more unpredictable storms can be expected as the hurricane season gets into full swing.
Okay, maybe more of an organized discombobulation...
Anyway, I figured I'd upload this just 'cuz. You might find some sneak peeks in the disarray.
Honestly though, this works good for me to create. Though, every once in awhile it gets to the point where I have no choice but to clean it up again. ;P

some day i'm gonna find it
wish i knew what i was looking for
inside the disarray
i woke up this morning
don't know where i'm going
but it's alright
i wouldn't have it any other way
Located a couple of blocks from the ‘Greenway’ by the Hudson River, at 177 Christopher Street this sign hangs on a four story factory building that been converted to living residences linking to New York City’s past, specifically the waterfront as an area active with maritime bustling business supporting all the ships that docked a stone’s throw away on the Hudson. This sign for Meier and Oelhaf Co. Inc has been preserved by the efforts of the Greenwich Historical Society that had the signage and 177 Christopher Street historically recognized by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission, actually noted in its 2006 report of the Weehawken Street Historic District Designation Report because of its significance. The factory designed by architect William J. Fryer, Jr. and built & constructed by builder Richard Shapter in 1883-1884 was home to four firms whose principal occupation was maritime support including marine plumbing, heating, cooling, electrical and repair contracting originally designated 167 Christopher Street but in 1885 was rezoned to 177 Christopher Street.
Two German immigrants Frank Meier and Carl Frederick Oelhaf founded the firm of Meier & Oelhaf Co. Inc in 1905. In 1920, 177 Christopher Street was purchased by Carl and Mary Oelhaf and Meier & Oelhaf Co. Inc moved to this location from West Street. Their services included marine plumbing, coppersmithing, steam fitting, tin, sheet iron and brass working. They advertised ship work of descriptions which basically meant, they’d do anything ship related. Even though the last listing for the business was in 1980, the sign persisted. So while the four story factory was purchased to be repurposed as a residential structure, the signs that points back to the locale’s involvement in New York City’s maritime past were preserved. One can imagine how these streets now full of tourist and running & bicycling local residents going back and forth was once filled with surly sailors, merchant marines and others tending to the many ships docked just a short walk away, businesses such as Meier & Oelhaf Co., hospices/hotels and saloons there to service the maritime type of cliental. The first time I laid eyes on the sign in the late 1970’s, there were still docks down the street, kind of abandoned and in disarray as I recall. Looking closely at the sign, rust is evident along its edges and even bled down within the large white letters that probably dates back to the 1950’s.

A major storm hit the Midwest on Saturday February 23rd. The storm dump rain, ice, and snow, followed by high winds. The result left the state of Iowa in complete disarray. Railroads scrambled to keep lines opened and many were drifted in. The Iowa Northern's Manly Sub was drifted in and on Wednesday the IANR was still plowing north to open the line up. Here the Jordan nose plows as they work north of Rockford to stop for the night at MP 206. Tomorrow the job will finish opening the line up to Manly.
Red Admiral is the only butterfly in the whole of Europe that is full-on red. We have a few red moths such as Burnets and Cinnabar, but in non-tropical butterflies it is a rare colour. This hadn't occurred to me until I read Peter Marren's excellent "Rainbow Dust: Three Centuries of Delight in British Butterflies". In France it is known as Le Vulcain, after Vulcan, blacksmith of the gods, with the dark forge, fire and splashes of blue-white hot iron. It has always been a butterfly of unpredictable numbers as it migrates from further south and builds up its numbers over each summer. Nabokov (author of Lolita and a great butterfly enthusiast) recalled how vast numbers appeared across the Russian steppes up to the Arctic Circle in 1881, the year that Tsar Alexander II was assassinated which threw the state into disarray. The butterfly was thought as a messenger of death when people noticed a rather shaky figure of eight with a one below (these are the blue bits on the hindwings, clearer in some individuals than others) so has 1881 at the bottom of its wings.
With Renco’s shuttering of the former Bethlehem Steel Mill a decade ago, the future of Sparrows Point fell into disarray. The 3,100 acre property would sit facing an undetermined future until 2014, when Sparrows Point Terminal, later renamed to Tradepoint Atlantic, was established to commence environmental cleanups for revitalization of the land. The open space and close proximity to the Baltimore market attracted firms such as Amazon, Home Depot, and others alike to construct warehouses. Tradepoint Atlantic preserved rail infrastructure to serve future customers. Pictured is one of two daily Tradepoint switching operations, hauling empties from Home Depot to the CSX interchange. In the background is Tradepoint Atlantic’s base of rail operations and locomotive shops, one of the few remaining pieces of infrastructure from the days of steel production. Excavators and other construction equipment sitting in the foreground are being used to construct a new warehouse, located out of frame to the right.

Lismore NSW Australia 2022
Model: Lady West
The record-breaking flood in Lismore this year has left a regional capital in disarray, not knowing where to turn. The governments lack of action in responding adequately to this disaster will see thousands of people continue to survive without proper housing.
People have been seriously impacted by this event.
Pennhurst Asylum was built in 1908 as a state school for the mentally and physically disabled. The Spring City, Chester County, Pennsylvania property covered 120 acres with many different buildings, many connected through a series of underground tunnels. The original name was "Pennhurst Home for the Feeble Minded and Epileptic" before it became known as the "Pennhurst State School". A 1968 report by NBC television entitled "Suffer The Little Children" brought forth evidence of abuse, neglect, and overcrowding at the institution. After many lawsuits, including the landmark May 1974 case "Halderman v. Pennhurst State School ", Pennhurst was finally forced to close its doors in 1986. Pennhurst fell into complete disarray and ruin with scrappers looting buildings for what they could sell and vandals spray painting just about every surface they could find.
There have been attempts to stabilize some of the buildings, primarily the roofs, to keep the buildings in a state of "arrested decay" so they don't become more ruined by the elements, and several of the more dangerous buildings have been demolished. There is a movement to build a museum that features the history of not only Pennhurst but also mental care in the United States, so that we never return to that state of affairs again. The property owners now offer a haunted house during the Halloween season, Paranormal tours, and Photography tours. Tour money goes towards the stabilization of the buildings and the formation of the museum.

The subject of this image is a group of three galaxies, collectively known as NGC 7764A. They were imaged by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, using both its Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) and Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3). The two galaxies in the upper right of the image appear to be interacting with one another — indeed, the long trails of stars and gas extending from them both give the impression that they have both just been struck at great speed, thrown into disarray by the bowling-ball-shaped galaxy to the lower left of the image. In reality, however, interactions between galaxies happen over very long time periods, and galaxies rarely collide head-on with one another. It is also unclear whether the galaxy to the lower left is actually interacting with the other two, although they are so relatively close in space that it seems possible that they are. By happy coincidence, the collective interaction between these galaxies have caused the two on the upper right to form a shape, which from our Solar System's perspective, ressembles the starship known as the USS Enterprise from Star Trek!
NGC 7764A, which lies about 425 million light years from Earth in the constellation Phoenix, is a fascinating example of just how awkward astronomical nomenclature can be. The three galaxies are individually referred to as NGC 7764A1, NGC 7764A2 and NGC 7764A3, and just to be really difficult, an entirely separate galaxy, named NGC 7764, sits in the skies about a Moon’s distance (as seen from Earth) away. This rather haphazard naming makes more sense when we consider that many of the catalogues for keeping track of celestial bodies were compiled well over 100 years ago, long before modern technology made standardising scientific terminology much easier. As it is, many astronomical objects have several different names, or might have names that are so similar to other objects’ names that they cause confusion.

I photographed Melissa as part of my Flickr 100 Strangers project. This photo of Melissa with reflections of me in her sunglasses was one of the portraits I took of her. The one I selected for the project can be seen here: www.flickr.com/photos/jeffcbowen/18960305355/in/photostream/
I was on Front Street in downtown Toronto this morning, checking out an historic building that was redesigned by Aaron, a retired Architect and my Stranger #818 (www.flickr.com/photos/jeffcbowen/18248730940/in/dateposted/). Part of the building is complete, including a multistory addition above it, and part is still undergoing renovation. I was starting to unlock my bicycle to move on when I saw her. She was coming toward me on the sidewalk with her beautiful blue scarf and circular sunglasses. She had a composed, relaxed air about her as she passed me and my curiosity was tweaked. I stopped her and she removed her earphones. I proceeded with my usual “Excuse me. My name is Jeff and I’m doing an amateur photo project….” She agreed without a second thought and said it sounded like a great project. We shook hands. Meet Melissa.
We were on a busy sidewalk with the building front on one side and a huge street construction project on the other side. It was “scramble time” as I looked at the immediate surroundings to come up with a way to make use of the opportunity. I posed Melissa between the building of interest and the building next door: The Hockey Hall of Fame. I knew the bright light in the laneway was less than ideal but I proceeded. I asked if I could straighten her sunglasses and she said “Sure. That’s ok. They might not straighten. They’re kind of wonky.” She was right. “Ok” I said. “That will be part of the character of this photo.” We shared a laugh. I had to photograph from the other side of the sidewalk and I appreciated the pedestrians who stopped to wait between “takes” so as to not get in the way. People can be so accommodating.
Not sure that I had a good enough image (see comment photo) I asked Melissa to move a few steps to the open doorway of the building under renovation. The workmen were inside and I called to them to ask if it would be ok to step inside the doorway for “just one minute” to take a photo of Melissa. They looked at each other and waved me in. I positioned Melissa inside the door with construction disarray behind her and balanced myself on the step outside the door. It was somewhat precarious but it worked. I asked Melissa to remove her sunglasses and suggested that she follow up her smiling photo with a relaxed, neutral expression and figured I had the photo. Thanking the workmen, we stepped onto the sidewalk to chat.
Melissa, 22, was born and raised in Toronto. She is a recent college graduate with a major in Public Relations. “Oh, so you’re probably just hitting the job search?” “Well, pretty much. But I think I’m going to take a little break for travel first. I’m going to Quebec where I hope to learn some French which will make me more marketable.” Smart strategy. What was she doing when I interrupted her progress? “Oh, I was just walking to the park to relax and read a book. I like to alternate fiction pleasure reading with more serious reading.” I can remember one of the joys of finishing university was being able to read whatever I wanted to read without guilt that it wasn’t a textbook. “Any words you would like to share with the world?” Melissa laughed at the scope of the question. “I know, I’m just making life difficult for you” I said. She replied “No. Just give me a second. Uh, I think I would say to make time to do the things you value and don’t put them off.” I think she was talking about travel. “What do you like to do when you’re not going to the park to read?” I asked. “Well, I like food. I mean I REALLY like food.” “Your favorite food?” “Let’s just say I REALLY like food.” (smiling)
From the few minutes we spent together Melissa came across as very friendly, relaxed, and sincere. There was a gentle honesty about her and I thought it striking that she responded to my unexpected project request as if it was the most natural thing in the world. I think these nice qualities show in the portraits.
With that I thanked Melissa and freed her up to get to the park on this beautiful, sunny Toronto morning. Thank you Melissa for taking the time to meet and for participating in 100 Strangers. You are #834 in Round 9 of my project. Have fun in Quebec and good luck with your job search. And be sure to enjoy some of that Quebec cooking!
Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by the other photographers in our group at the 100 Strangers Flickr Group page.
Update: I received a very nice email from Melissa saying she had enjoyed our meeting and she was positively impressed by my photos. She thanked me and wished me well on my continuing project. It was very nice feedback.
Relayed message to Lord [redacted]. Message will self-destruct after playback.
It is as your eminence predicted. The Hutts are in disarray, having been unable to stabilize their economy after Jakku. The New Republic is continuously pushing sanctions against systems in Hutt Space, condemning slave trade and illicit drug production. Hutt interest in Oba Diah is increasing, since they started to prosper, aided by [redacted], a recent benefactor.
We have arranged meetings with the Besadii on Sleheyron. I am confident that we will be able to take over their tibanna refineries in exchange for saving their slave trade. We are working with the garrison on Mogoshyn, and they have agreed to support this operation with equipment, and ancillary specialists to get the refineries back to peak production.
If the deal goes through, I estimate that we will be looking at several thousand slaves. We will need to do a work-ready assessment in transit. I need confirmation for the location [redacted] of the first slave shipments.
I will report back once the deal is done.

Exploring the ideas around a less known Hutt system like Sleheyron has been interesting. There's not a lot of story material on Sleheyron, but it is a prominent world with enough interesting details (Slave trade, Tibanna refinement etc.). I imagine Sleheyron is a more run-down and gritty version of Nar Shaddaa. This also shows the less "Imperial" side of the SCS. Clandestine dealings in order to keep the wheels turning.

The Common Grackle is not common, nor is the story of their "range" in this part of California. They come through Contra Costa County every year for three weeks are so to molt, grow new feathers, and leave for where I don't know. This female is missing her tail feathers and will have new ones in about two weeks.
I found them by accident. I was on my way toward the country dump to find, of all things, pelicans. On the way, I pass a natural lake that often has shorebirds, flocks of pelicans, and Snowy Egrets although they're always too far from shore to get a shot. On one day in August, 2013, I spotted a bird I'd never seen before, then another and another. They looked like they were in stages of "reconstruction," not looking healthy by any means. When Common Grackles molt, they molt! I saw a few that lost all their feathers. Anyway, they congregated around a Mexican Food Truck that comes every year to service the workers in and around the dump and old car wrecking yards, knowing that, given enough time, they'll be fed.
I researched the Common Grackle's range, and it turned out that they warranted a dot on the range map for northern California. That dot is the food truck. When the truck is not here, neither are the grackles, but it's here at the same time the birds are coming through. You will not find the dot on continental range maps. In fact, you won't find any western states on their range maps except for a thin yellow line (migration).
These grackles made it very difficult to photography. They strut, and they're fast. They like tall reeds by the lake which is walled off by a large wooden (slat) fence, and they would fly to the truck and back to a perch near the lake or in a 50 foot palm tree. But, I finally came out with a few photos of male and female in all stages of disarray.
Last night I had the first clear night since I don't know when. Was I ready - of course not! The observatory PC had died a few weeks previously and had been sitting in the house since repair. Cables were in disarray and I still hadn't sorted out the spacing for my QHY8 and Baader Coma correcter. As I was fixing all this it started to rain! 5 mins later it was clear again and the scope slewed around to target - just as I pulled the power plug out re-routing other cables!! Undaunted I re-aligned and started exposing. The sky was indifferent and there was so much water in the air I could see it twinkling in a torch beam. I started a run of 300 sec exposures with a view to going longer only to see water dripping from the back of the Quattro. The primary had completely dewed over, not something I've seen before! So this image is 5x300 secs with a dewed primary. :-)
I've kept the processing subtle in keeping with the subject.

Excerpt from the information poster:
Nest is driven by the idea of creating a space of comfort and introspection within a system of complexity and disarray. The overwhelming nature of information and everyday life is expressed through the chaotic texture and asymmetrical form of the installation. Composed of modular cells that contain a weave of colourful webs, NEST provides both shelter and playful moments of light and shadow within the space. The interior experience allows the visitor to momentarily step away from the noise, pause, and view the world through a clear lens.

Tramway Historic District
Eagle Lake Tramway and Locomotives along the Allagash Wilderness Waterway
North Maine Woods, Maine
Switching gears here on our North Maine Woods trip with our arrival at the "Ghost Trains". I had visited this site about seven years ago when I paddled the Allagash. Some improvements have been made, the most important being that it is now "easily" accessible from the land. And it is well worth the trip into the woods and the hiking involved.
These train cars, which once carried logs between Eagle Lake and another lake a good bit further along on the logs trip to the Penobscot River, were abandoned and have decayed to their current state.
I will continue to post pictures from this site for the next week or two. I hope you enjoy them. Better yet, I hope you are inspired to visit the location. Be aware, it requires travel on logging roads far from civilization. Be prepared.
After landing the shuttlecraft inside the small hanger of the Horus Deep Space Telescope Array, Nova Team is shocked to find the place in utter disarray. Emergency lights are flickering, small fires have broken out on the deck and the smell of arid smoke fills the air. Main power is clearly offline. However, it appears there's minimum life support, but not much else.
Captain Knight, Lt Sydney Stargazer, Lt. Elizabeth Erandis, and Ensign Kayden Korren cautiously walk out onto the hanger deck. Initial scans are inconclusive. There seems to be some sort of dampening field preventing anything but local scans, limiting the scanner's range to a mere 2 meters. Not much help there. What happened here and where's the crew?

Hey gang, just a little note about this series. These upcoming photos are a bit darker than you're used to from me. When I say "dark" I mean in tone, plot and content (though visually they tend to be darker too). I wanted to do something a little different this time to ramp up the suspense, action and danger to our crew. I'm not saying that all Nova Team photos in the future will be this way, just this particular series. As we work our way through the story it'll be obvious what I'm going for and emulating. ;-) Comments always welcomed!
A major storm hit the Midwest on Saturday February 23rd. The storm dump rain, ice, and snow, followed by high winds. The result left the westside of the state of Iowa in complete disarray. Railroads scrambled to keep lines opened and many were drifted in. The UP worked a few Jordan Spreader jobs to get lines back open Tuesday. Here a Spreader works the Jewel Sub from Eagle Grove to Ames. I was highly disappointed they did alot of plowing overnight, which isn't normally common, but desperate times call for unusual things. Here the crew speeds up for "another big one" north of Gilbert. By the time there was enough light, this guy was almost to Ames and done plowing.

Over the week of the Nightscaper Conference we had a lot of interesting conversations about the social media influence on and aspects of environmental impact. There's no doubt that the mass exploitation of the "outdoors" has seen a tremendous uptick in recent years and the accessibility of hobbies like Photography has lead to a decline in the outdoors experience (not to mention the degradation and damage of a lot sensitive areas) for many people, myself included. Having said that, "we" (me included) are also part of the problem, how do we balance finding really interesting locations to shoot and trying to share our results with the social media attention that place gets, ultimately resulting in more cars, more feet, more damage to that specific area. Ultimately it comes down to just not sharing location information anymore. And so I preach this, pick a road and drive down it, chances are you'll find something interesting to take a picture of and you don't have to worry about sharing the location. Anyone can do this, we don't need to crowd out spots and throw the local area into disarray, find your own dirt road and cool location and keep that spot to yourself.
This image was a lot of work, I'm working on something that I don't think anyone else is really doing, utilizing cooled astro cameras to do landscape astrophotography. In this case an ASI533mc Pro was paired with a Voigtlander 21mm Nokton. The tricky part is the stretching of the fits files as well as the color balancing, it's difficult to get a consistent stretch from exposure to exposure and since there are no color profiles for these cameras it's difficult to get good/consistent color information. It's a work in progress and I hope I can develop it into something people might be interested in down the road. Until then, I'll continue to struggle.
14 subs went into this image, sky shots are 2 minutes at f2.5 and Gain 0, foreground shots are 2 minutes at f1.4 and gain 100.

"Dancing Under a Moonlit Night"
by Amber "V" Moonstone 1/16/08
Can you slip away onto a moonlit ride
Filling me with your magnificent scent
of aromatic juniper and sage.
Sending vibrational energy deep within
my mindful awareness of your masculinity.
Your lust driven madness
captivates my inner Goddess
exposing my vulnerability
to succumb to your heated touch
and overwhelming sexual desire.
Dancing under a moonlit night
like lovers intoxicated
on love's potent filled drink
erasing life's pain and disarray
to reveal the nakedness of pure need.
When this need to unite love's passion
in a dance of heated intoxication
then it will be gloriously celebrated
as the last triumphant scream is heard.

Specks
I've got specks of the universe stuck in my teeth
From taking a bite of tonight's skies
Tidbits of galaxies swim through my head
And the blackness gets locked in my eyes
Voices from every direction call my name
The noise is too much, and then my brain pops
Selfishly, I grab onto the sky before I leave
Time rips in half and everything just stops

Hugo only wants to be friends...
So, as it turns out, I'm not dead!
I recently moved, so my Lego collection was somewhat in disarray for a few weeks, but I've rectified that, and I'm back to building!
In other news, I've officially made plans to attend Brickfair Virginia at the end of this month, so I've been building on quite a few projects that are going to be revealed there!
Shout out in the comments below if you're going to be attending BFVA!
The house is in a bit of disarray since the husband moved out, but because of this I've come across a few long-forgotten treasures. Okay, it looks like I first picked this book up in 2004 so I don't know that it counts as long forgotten, but I haven't seen it in a while. And I was glad to be reunited with it. It is heartbreakingly beautiful.
I took this in the first Iowa cemetery I visited this past summer. I didn't spend a lot of time in the state, though I have explored it pretty well a few years back.
Though the grave looks lonesome and solitery, I was feet away from a busy two-lane, with trucks and cars passing by at an almost constant rate.
I remember spending quite a lot of time setting up this shot. I wanted something fitting for the disarray of the stone and grave itself. Placing the camera at an angle (I'm almost always so careful about levels), and through the use of movements, I exaggerated the oddness of this little space.
The camera was high above it and I stood on tip toes to see through the glass.
When I pulled this shot out of the tank, I was immediately taken by the negative. I try not to judge the final photo by how the negative looks - I do my best not to even look at them. But this time around, I was excited to see what I got.
And what I got was this .
Hazel Waite lived for only seven months in 1900. Her parents, Malden and Evelyn, had two other children who lived incredibly long lives. While all were buried in Iowa, Little Hazel is the only one in this Sioux County cemetery.

Tufted Duck / aythya fuligula. East Yorkshire. 23/06/19.
‘WASH & BLOW DRY.’
I liked this preening pose and the way the wind had lifted the lengthy 'tuft' feathers into disarray!
I assume, because of the time of year the image was made, that this male had started to change into his eclipse plumage? Any thoughts or observations would be welcomed.
BEST VIEWED LARGE.
CWPT has saved more than 125 acres of the First Deep Bottom battlefield in Henrico County, Virginia.
The First Deep Bottom Campaign at the end of July 1864 was a Union offensive north of the James River to complement the explosion of the Crater at Petersburg. Two corps of the Union army led by Winfield S. Hancock, in company with much of the army's cavalry, crossed the river and attacked the Confederate defenses south of Richmond on July 27, 1864. That inconclusive fighting occurred along the River Road (modern Rte 5).
The next day, July 28, Hancock sent his cavalry eastward via the Long Bridge Road in an effort to extend around the Confederate flank. An aggressive small Confederate battlegroup consisting of infantry from both the First Corps and the Third Corps led by General Richard H. Anderson dashed eastward to block that movement. Anderson's three brigades attacked southward into and across the Enroughty Farm (the modern Butler property), striking dismounted cavalry from both Torbert's and Gregg's divisions. For a short period there was very heavy action. The Confederates captured one piece of Union horse artillery, probably either on the Butler property, or possibly just off it to the east. Eventually the Union cavalry became organized enough to counterattack effectively, driving the Confederates off the field in some disarray. They captured several Confederate flags in the encounter.
This action represented the heaviest fighting during the First Deep Bottom Campaign. Hancock suspended his offensive and retired south of the James. Total casualties in the July 28 fight at the Enroughty Farm surpassed 800 (350 Federals and approximately 500 Confederates).
Bosnian Controlled Turkey 2046
After the Bosnian evacuation the entire country fell into disarray, the last Bosnian controlled territory, Turkey was the main source of these problems. Mass protests in multiple cities turned violent as soldiers took matters into their own hands by firing on the crowd killing 13. These protests turned into the December Revolution which was quickly quelled. Then 2 weeks after the last of the revolutionaries were silenced or killed a second revolt broke out this one toppled the already weak Bosnian government. Within 2 months the new government collapsed and the last bits of the Bosnian "empire" died. What was left of Turkey is now in anarchy.
Woooo Brickfiesta is next week hope to see a few of you there.
