After our dinner, my mom and I went for ride with relatives to Lower Post, then to Contact Creek Lodge. August 10, 2016.
The plywood squares where were the consoles would have sat with screens on the wall. The personell watched the 9/11 events on these screens. Already we are 2 levels underground and this area was well protected from nuclear effects.

St James's church in the Black Country settlement of Lower Gornal began life in the early 19th century, the oldest parts being the nave and west tower which were built in 1817 by architect Thomas Lee. There was further modification done later in the century culminating in the rebuilding of the chancel in 1889 which gave us the polygonal apse we see today. The churchyard is a haven of peace filled with trees that surround and shelter the church from the surburban environment around it.
The interior betrays the different phases of construction with its two halves, the pre-Victorian nave being quite light, open and spacious whilst possessing something of a pre-ecclesiological austerity in its detail. The later chancel beyond is a darker, more mysterious space, lit by the four windows of the apse (a fifth, actually the central east window, is completely concealed by the tall wooden reredos).
There is some notable glass in the church, one of the apse windows being an early work by Sir Ninian Comper, whilst the easternmost windows on each side of the nave contain charming late Arts & Crafts glass by Florence Camm. The west window under the tower (in the area currently used as the baptistry) also has a fine window in a more contemporary spirit by Hardman's, however the latest windows here are the two westernmost windows of the apse which are my own work (that on the north side was installed in March 2021, whilst work is ongoing on the second window with a view to installing it in the near future).
Lower Gornal church is not usually open outside of services, but they have bravely continued to hold them on Thursdays and Sundays throughout much of the current crisis

The Pre-K B class at Ross was treated to a special outing on March 5 when they got to have lunch at the café on the Upper School campus. The café staff prepared a delicious and healthy meal of potato soup, burritos, tofu and a few side dishes–sautéed greens, roasted rutabaga fries and brown rice. For dessert, the students were served warm brownies.
The Crusoe Hotel, right down at the bottom of Lower Largo on the East Neuk of Fife coastline. The hotel's name celebrates this small village being the home of Alexander Selkirk, a master navigator marooned on an uninhabited Pacific island in September of 1704 and not rescued until February of 1709. His ordeal was quite famous in the new press of the early modern era and he, too all intent purposes, became the model for Daniel Defoe's acclaimed adventure Robinson Crusoe. From a tiny coastal village on the rugged east coast of Scotland to the far side of the world, this connection, memorialised in one of the great works of world literature, a book still read today. There's something wonderful about finding connections like that.
