OLYMPUS

Old lava fields cover the area towards the southern end of Lanzarote, where the sea meets Timanfaya Park. The sun was sinking behind me, under a bank of clouds and offering some great light.

...tons of old vinyl. Spend my day off going through a used music store, great finds and a great way to enjoy new to me tunes for cheap.

As a national monument and as the heart of the protected village view, the Oude Kerk is part of Borne's identity. This Stephen of the Old Church of Borne was founded about the year 1000 by the Dominican monks of the monastery in Ruinen. In a deed of 1206, the church in Burgundy of Borne is mentioned for the first time. This document records a major transaction between the bishop of Utrecht and the monastery, whereby the church in Borne becomes the property of the bishop.

I can still find Wiley's house

Riding on my bike with eyes closed

I could name every girl that he took out

And from my memory, dial his house phone

Can you take me back when we were just kids

Who weren't scared of getting older? (yeah, yeah)

'Cause no one knows you like they know you

And no one probably ever will

You can grow up, make new ones

But truth is there's nothing like old friends

'Cause you can't make old friends (mm, yeah)

I can still feel the windows down

Listening to Jimmy Eat World

Riding 3-wide on Blake's bench seat (yeah)

My God, it's been ten years now

I would have his back tomorrow

And he'd still fight anyone who tried to touch me

Can you take me back when we were just kids

Who weren't scared of getting older? (yeah, yeah)

'Cause no one knows you like they know you

And no one probably ever will

You can grow up, make new ones

But truth is there's nothing like old friends

'Cause you can't make old friends

And I've got some good friends now

But I've never seen their parents' back porch

I wouldn't change how things turned out

But there's no one in this time zone

Who knows what inline skates that I wore

Can you take me back when we were just kids

Who weren't scared of getting older?

'Cause no one knows you like they know you

And no one probably ever will

You can grow up, make new ones

But the truth is

That we grow up, then wish we could go back then

There's nothing like old friends

'Cause you can't make old friends

Happy Bench Monday!!!

HBM!!

I saw this old guy while driving around La Grange, Texas. It's the very first jail house build in the town. Now it's being used as the City of La Grange Visitor’s Bureau and office space for the La Grange Area Chamber of Commerce. In the mid-1930’s, two members of the infamous Bonne and Clyde gang, Raymond Hamilton and Gene O’ Dare were held here for robbing the Carmine Bank.

Here's more info:

Fayette County opened its first jail in July, 1838. The cost of the first structure was $460. It was a primitive structure; prisoners were ironed and chained but within 10 years the building was sold. With no jail, prisoners were parceled out to various citizens for safekeeping. The plan worked until a murderer’s apprehension made arrangements for his incarceration in another town necessary.

In 1852, plans were finalized for a new jail that was in use by 1854. This jail was built by German immigrant Heinrich Kreishe, who was a stone mason by trade when he immigrated. You can see his work still at the Monument Hill/ Kreishe Brewery State Park.

By the early 1880’s, the need for a more modern and larger jail was evident and work began on the structure we now call the Old Jail. In November 1881, the county commissioners selected the Victorian Gothic design of Andrewarthe & Wahrenberger as the new look. The building was opened in 1883.
