While Dad has his camera up and ready to photograph the arrival in Cleveland of the inaugural eastbound Pennsylvanian, his son isn't so sure that standing this close to the tracks is a good idea. (Scanned from color negative film)
My sister is expecting a boy in May. We decided to take some shots for the baby book. This is my favorite, only editing I did was softened the picture a bit.

From ESPNU - When two of the nation's top three-ranked squads square off, a fantastic game with a fantastic finish can be expected. That's exactly what the fans at Blake Arena saw when FAB 50 No. 1 St. Patrick (Elizabeth, N.J.) took on No. 3 Findlay Prep (Henderson, Nev.) in the marquee contest of the Hoophall Classic in Springfield, Mass., on Monday...St. Patrick was down 42-34 at the half, but used a scintillating second-half performance from Duke-bound point guard Kyrie Irving to get back in the game. He scored on a variety of jump shots and acrobatic moves in the lane, but it was two free throws by Irving with one second left that put the Celtics in position to tie the game and force overtime...With St. Patrick trailing 71-69, Irving nailed the first, but the game-tying free throw was off target. Teammate Michael Gilchrist, who was nursing knee and ankle injuries, came up with the offensive rebound, but had his put back attempt blocked by a trio of swarming Findlay Prep defenders as the buzzer sounded. With its 71-70 victory, coach Michael Peck's club from Findlay Prep (22-1) will move up to No. 2 in the next ESPN RISE FAB 50 Rankings. The No. 3 ranked Pilots lost by one point to current No. 2 Northland (Columbus, Ohio), which is set to take over the top spot in the national rankings following Saturday's win over No. 9 Oak Hill Academy at the Hoophall Classic...Irving, the No. 6 player in the ESPNU 100 and a Mr. Basketball USA candidate, finished with a game-high 30-points for St. Patrick (10-1). Findlay Prep's counter part at the point guard position, Cory Joseph, finished with a team-high 23-points, on 8-of-16 shooting, with nine boards. Joseph, ranked No. 30 in the ESPNU 100, is another Mr. Basketball USA candidate. He battled leg cramps in the second half after scoring 16-points and helping his team build a first half cushion...It was uncertain if Gilchrist, the No. 1 prospect in the ESPNU Super 60, was going to play in this game after suffering a knee injury in a game against Union (Union, N.J.) on Jan. 5. Gilchrist gave a valiant effort and even made contributions after suffering a sprained ankle in the first quarter. He finished with 19 points...Findlay Prep forward Tristan Thompson finished with eight points before fouling out, but wing Nick Johnson picked up the scoring slack for his Texas-bound teammate with 16 points. Johnson is the nephew of former Boston Celtic guard Dennis Johnson and the son of California playground legend "Jumping" Joey Johnson...Monday's marquee at the Hoophall Classic was a matchup of two great point guards and two great teams, but unfortunately time ran out on St. Patrick, which suffered its first loss on the year.

The last thing I'd expected to find at an event like this: a DAF 33! I never knew any of these had made it to the US or that they even existed as pickups.
My parents had the normal DAF 33.
For those not familiar with the brand: DAF is Van Doorne's Auto Fabriek or Van Doorne's Car Factory, a Dutch car manufacturer. They made trucks and cars. The truck division still exists under the DAF name (owned by PACCAR) but the car division was bought by Volvo in the 70's. The Volvo 340 was meant to be the DAF 77.
These cars were some of the first to use a variable transmission using drive belts. The belts on early models weren't very reliable and the cars were said to have 'suspenders-drive'.
As a result of this transmission system the cars could go as fast in reverse as they could forward. That meant they has their own class in the Reverse Racing events we had in Holland in the 80's. At the same event we also had Caravan races long before anyone had heard of Top Gear.
Warning: lots of cars were killed in the making of this video:

Area I expecting and new parents meet at the Camp Casey Community Activity Center June 2, 2012, for a Baby Shower. Various garrison activities had boothes where they passed out information. Dads-to-be were given a chance to see what it was like to be pregnant with the "empathy belly". Both parents also got the chance to see who could change their "baby's" diaper and try to guess the flavor of baby food. U.S. Army Photo by Sgt. 1st Class Jeff Troth
RICHMOND, Calif., - More than 300 volunteers are expected to roll-up their sleeves to rebuild the aging John F. Kennedy Park into a community gem. The City of Richmond, in partnership with The Trust for Public Land, is championing the one-day community-build park project in the City’s Park Plaza neighborhood, which will also include the installation of more than neighborhood trees in celebration of Arbor Day.
Built in 1968, the seven-acre park will be renovated to meet the changing needs of today’s park users and bring multiple benefits to the neighborhood. The project and process is a catalyst of a new era for park revitalization and cross-sector partnerships.
“I’ll be there with a wheel barrel and ready to work,” said Mayor Tom Butt who’s a strong supporter of expanding the City’s urban park footprint. “I applaud the commitment of the neighborhood residents who have been working with our urban planners to redesign the park into something we can all be proud of.”
Since April 2015, more than 400 community members have joined in the participatory process to design the park improvements. Together, they are helping shape future programs aimed at improving quality of life and providing connections to meaningful, safe, beautiful outdoor spaces for people of all ages.
“Our park has been underutilized for many years for a variety of reasons,” says Madalyn Law, President of the Park Plaza Neighborhood Council. “The rebuild of JFK Park gives our neighbors an opportunity to use the park again in a more positive environment with new features designed for all ages to come together for health and wellness and fun in the outdoors.
Generously funded and technically supported by The Trust for Public Land, the new design will feature a family zone with a children’s playscape, offering a fun environment designed to enhance youth's imagination around play, and build positive childhood memories. The park will be the home of the City of Richmond’s first Fitness ZoneTM and fitness trail. Together, the fully-accessible and senior-friendly fitness zone and the fitness trail encourage area residents to meet in the park and support one another in healthy lifestyle choices and strengthening social ties.
“Every Richmond resident deserves a quality park within walking distance from their home,” said Gina Fromer, The Trust for Public Land California State Director. “Good parks make neighborhoods healthy and whole.”
Other park improvements include a community garden, the installation of energy efficient LED lights, a 5,000 square foot mural, and a rain garden.
“With the new improvements going into the park, I have no doubt that it will be a community treasure for generations to come,” said Mayor Butt. “Open space that has a mix of passive and active use and is appropriate for different age groups means everyone in our community will be able to enjoy it.”
The upcoming volunteer action is part of the City’s on-going commitment to invest in its neighborhoods. Earlier this year, more than 100 volunteers came together to rebuild the softball field in an event sponsored by O.C. Jones & Sons, beginning a powerful movement for change in the neighborhood.
Chevron is providing funding for the Chevron STEM Learning Center and Community Plaza, which will provide a teaching space for local schools to use to explore science, technology, engineering and math (STEM), as well as a picnic pavilion for residents to enjoy.
“We are proud to partner with the City of Richmond on this park project, which will help spark interest in STEM for students at neighboring schools,” said Kory Judd, general manager of the Chevron Richmond Refinery. “The John F. Kennedy Park provides a unique opportunity for our neighbors and students to enjoy the park space and explore STEM education in a park setting.”
In addition to the community-build park event, the public is invited to visit The 50 Tour: Champions of the Bay presented by Chevron. The tour will feature the eight Vince Lombardi trophies from the Oakland Raiders and San Francisco 49ers and a guest appearance by an NFL legend. It will also feature the Chevron STEM Zone, an interactive learning space that demonstrates how STEM fuels innovation all around us – through the lens of football.
"I've been a proud resident of the south east community for over 40 years and it's wonderful that some of our requested neighborhood improvements are coming to fruition," said Naomi Williams, President of the Pullman Neighborhood Council. "With the park improvements and the reopening of the Richmond Swim Center, we are seeing a south east renaissance."

“Expect nothing. Live frugally
On surprise.
become a stranger
To need of pity
Or, if compassion be freely
Given out
Take only enough
Stop short of urge to plead
Then purge away the need.
Wish for nothing larger
Than your own small heart
Or greater than a star;
Tame wild disappointment
With caress unmoved and cold
Make of it a parka
For your soul.
Discover the reason why
So tiny human midget
Exists at all
So scared unwise
But expect nothing. Live frugally
On surprise.”
Mojacar Pueblo is the kind of vacation spot you would expect to see on a postcard. A fairytale town, with its cluster of white sugar cubed buildings clinging to the side of the hilltop. For visitors, the old town is a delightful place to explore, where you will find charming trinket shops, restaurants, bars and terraces. The town is a browser's delight. Arty shops beckon with their bits and pieces hanging from walls and makeshift stalls. The winding streets lead you past smartly renovated houses decked out with potted plants and flowers and hole-in-the-wall shops selling everything from trendy clothing to locally made souvenirs. Look out for the great value hand woven rugs, jarapas and the famous Indalo Man. At the heart of the mountaintop town is the Plaza Nueva where you stand on what appears to be a marble dance floor overhanging the side of a mountain. The views of the unexpected green carpet of agriculture land surrounding the town and Sierra Cabrera Mountains and coastline are magnificent. For those with the energy, further spectacular views await at the Mirador Castillo, which is the highest point of the town.
As expected, the winter storm has brought several inches of snow to our region and more is forecast today. The windy weather has caused outages around our service area, primarily in South and East King County especially the Enumclaw and Snoqualmie areas.

....the Spanish Inquisition! Every Halloween my High School bud C.R. would have a costume party at his house in First Colony subdivision. I think this is either from my junior year or senior year. I decided to come as "The Spanish Inquisition", from the Monty Python sketch of the same name. We were all massively Monty Python geeks in High School, watching it religiously on PBS every weekend, and The Benny Hill Show on the WB, Channel 39. Only place on network/public television you could catch brief frontal female nudity without paying for cable. Partial answer to a High School boy's dream...(we were all horny little bastards and mostly still are, just less dorky).
The fifth edition of the TODAYSART festival invites you to explore your thoughts, emotions and senses. Expect a concentrated, physical experience.
We are all sensitive beings, and as such we are increasingly exposed to an immense amount of input on a daily basis. Can we still really feel? Do we remember what it means to be submerged in emotion, thoughts and overwhelming physical elements? Are we still able to evaluate impulses from the outside and translate them so that we know how to act rationally?
The natural instinct to anticipate external conflict and to enter into or to strive for adaptation is being stunned by the current unbridled urge for growth and an emphasis on a material existence.
The question whether we can identify what is going on and if we can and want to intervene must be answered. Is society still open to new possibilities, both visually and in words and sounds? Can we break through our collective numbness? What is our response to these possibilities and are we still able to act instinctively? To what extent do we still dare to intervene in what we experience, and to what extent are we capable of explaining what it actually is that we experience?
History shows that whenever people face many questions, conflict ensues. Not necessarily violent, but conflict nonetheless. It is like a chemical reaction: energy is unleashed, things boil and smoke, and out of this energy a new substance emerges. But in order to start such a reaction, the two sides need to meet. There has to be a point of contact. In the real world, this can be people on the street, on the internet, in the newspapers, at debates, the political arena. Anywhere where people can take action and express themselves.
Conflict is the red thread that runs through the program of TODAYSART 09, which through multidisciplinary creative processes explores the possible rebirth of consciousness. TA 09 creates awareness, reawakens, opens eyes, generates feelings, will try and give answers and will raise new questions, examine how conflict can lead to new insights and solutions and explore the ability of the visitor to open up to external impulses.
