From before 1871 to 1959, Madison's East River District had its own post office in a small, red building on the Post Road. When the building was sold for reuse as a real estate office, the Society acquired this grand reminder of times past. On its back side--where, for instance, postmaster Ichabod Lee Scranton, Jr. worked in the 1870s--the boxes are still labeled with the names of East River residents. This unique fragment of a once-popular community hub is about 10 feet wide and 6 feet tall. Following its use as a real estate office, the building itself was moved to another location for use as a private residence. Updated and expanded in the twenty-first century, it still remains on the Boston Post Road not far from its original location.

Kolomenskoye (Russian: Коло́менское) is a former royal estate situated several miles to the south-east of Moscow downtown, on the ancient road leading to the town of Kolomna (hence the name). The scenic area which overlooks the steep banks of the Moskva River became a part of Moscow in the 1960s.
The White Column of Kolomenskoye
Kolomenskoye village was first mentioned in the testament of Ivan Kalita (1339). As the time went by, the village was developed as a favourite country estate of grand princes of Muscovy. The earliest extant structure is the exceptional Ascension church (1532), built in white stone to commemorate the long-awaited birth of an heir to the throne, the future Ivan the Terrible. Being the first stone church of tent-like variety, the uncanonical "White Column" (as it is sometimes referred to) marked a stunning rupture with the Byzantine tradition.
The church stands up toward the sky from a low cross-shaped podklet (ground floor), then follows a prolonged chetverik (octagonal body) of the church, and then an octagonal tent, crowned by a tiny dome. The narrow pilasters on the sides of the chetverik, the arrow-shaped window frames, the three tiers of the kokoshniks and the quiet rhythm of stair arcades and open galleries underline the dynamic tendency of this masterpiece of the Russian architecture. The whole vertical composition is believed to have been borrowed from hipped roof-style wooden churches of the Russian North. Recognizing its outstanding value for humanity, UNESCO decided to inscribe the church on the World Heritage List in 1994.
The great palace and other structures
On the other side of the ravine from Kolomenskoye may be seen the five-tented Church of St John the Baptist, tentatively dated to 1547. Actually, the church's origin is enshrouded in mystery. Some say the masters were Italians, others assign it to Postnik Yakovlev, reputedly the author of Saint Basil's Cathedral on the Red Square. Whatever the truth may be, it is clear that the church represents a transitional stage between the Ascension church, described above, and the famous 8-tented cathedral on the Red Square.
Tsar Alexis I of Russia had all the previous wooden structures in Kolomenskoye demolished and replaced them with a new great wooden palace, famed for its fanciful, fairy-tale roofs. The foreigners referred to this huge maze of intricate corridors and 250 rooms, built without using saws, nails, or hooks, as 'an eighth wonder of the world'. The future Empress Elizabeth Petrovna was born in the palace in 1709. Upon departure of the court for St Petersburg, the palace got dilapidated, so that Catherine II refused to make it her Moscow residence. On her orders the palace was demolished in 1768. Fortunately a wooden model of the palace survives, and the Moscow Government has begun its full-scale reconstruction.
Remaining vestiges of the palace complex include the five-domed Kazanskaya church (1662), of rather conventional architecture, and the wooden and stone gates of the former palace.
During the Soviet years, old wooden buildings were transported to Kolomenskoye from the Far North (the barbican church of the Nikolo-Korelsky Monastery), Siberia (the Bratsk Stockade Tower), and other areas (loghouses, windmills, a Dvina stone, etc). Some of these structures date back to the 17th century.

Kelly country tour: Fifteen Mile Creek. Kelly mother's homestead..
Edward "Ned" Kelly (December 1854 – 11 November 1880) was an Australian bushranger of Irish descent..
.
Kelly was born in the British colony of Victoria as the third of eight children to an Irish convict from County Tipperary and an Australian mother with Irish parentage. His father died after serving a six-month prison sentence, leaving Kelly, then aged 12, as the eldest male of the household. The Kellys were a poor selector family who saw themselves as downtrodden by the Squattocracy and as victims of police persecution. Arrested in 1870 for associating with bushranger Harry Power, Kelly was convicted of stealing horses and imprisoned for three years. He fled to the bush in 1878 after being indicted for the attempted murder of a police officer at the Kelly family's home. After he, his brother Dan, and two associates fatally shot three policemen, the Government of Victoria proclaimed them outlaws..
.
During the remainder of the Kelly Outbreak, Kelly and his associates committed armed bank robberies in Euroa and Jerilderie, and murdered Aaron Sherritt, a friend turned police informer. In a manifesto letter, Kelly—denouncing the police, the Victorian government and the British Empire—set down his own account of the events leading up to his outlawry. Demanding justice for his family and the rural poor, and threatening dire consequences against those who defied him, he ended with the words, "I am a widow's son outlawed and my orders must be obeyed.".
.
When Kelly's attempt to derail and ambush a police train failed, he and his gang, dressed in homemade suits of metal armour, engaged in a final violent confrontation with the Victoria Police at Glenrowan on 28 June 1880. All were killed except Kelly, who was severely wounded by police fire and captured. Despite thousands of supporters attending rallies and signing a petition for his reprieve, Kelly was tried, convicted and sentenced to death by hanging, which was carried out at the Old Melbourne Gaol. His final words are famously reported to have been, "such is life"..
.
Even before his execution, Kelly had become a legendary figure in Australia. Historian Geoffrey Serle called Kelly and his gang "the last expression of the lawless frontier in what was becoming a highly organised and educated society, the last protest of the mighty bush now tethered with iron rails to Melbourne and the world." Despite the passage of more than a century, he remains a cultural icon, inspiring countless works in the arts, and is the subject of more biographies than any other Australian. Kelly continues to cause division in his homeland: some celebrate him as Australia's equivalent of Robin Hood, while others regard him as a murderous villain undeserving of his folk hero status.Journalist Martin Flanagan wrote: "What makes Ned a legend is not that everyone sees him the same—it's that everyone sees him. Like a bushfire on the horizon casting its red glow into the night." Excerpt from Wikepedia.
cr7998 on Train Orders commented that the photo "appears to be from the steps of JD Tower at Hyattsville, MD. The train is westbound on the Washington Subdivision. The hoppers with the yellow ends were older cars that were prohibited from interchange service, these cars also had several yellow X's painted on the side to indicate that the cars were confined to on-line service. The track that diverges from the main is the Alexandria Subdivision to Potomac Yard."

A year ago Joan invited her family to meet us for supper at Cugino's Restaurant in Grand Ledge, a place where she and I eat regularly. Nearly everyone showed up, and I caught a few pictures with the Powershot.
Joan's trying to make such get togethers part of the family routine.
I posted a photo last August 26 that showed most of the family: Sarah, Yvonne, David, our server, another Dave, Paul, Angie, Alec, Pam, Edna, and Joan. (Sarah's husband Josh didn't fit in the frame; I was hiding behind the lens.)
Today's photo features that server again. Her name's Sara, and she's been waiting on Cugino's customers for many years. Probably she's our favorite waitress, ever, anywhere.

The Conductor was handing up orders to CB&Q E8 9942B heading Train # 1, the Denver Zephyr, at Chicago Union Station on October 23, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Admittedly not a good photo, also not a Dinky, but it helps illustrate the following story by Karl Rethwisch, a retired CB&Q locomotive engineer.
All the CB&Q E units had the 24RL brake schedule with Dual Service mode built into it. In mainline passenger service the brake valve was configured to operate in the conventional manner, meaning the normal automatic ( AU ) brake valve operation. In suburban service, however, the brake valve was configured to operate in the Straight Air ( SA ) mode. The Dual Mode Brake Valve was a great feature on suburban trains. In mainline passenger service SMOOTH was the name of the game. In suburban service QUICKNESS was the order of the day. When an initial terminal brake test was required, the Engineer placed the air brake selector clutch in the AU position and performed the test. Upon receipt of an indication from the Trainman performing the walking inspection that the brakes set and released, the Engineer placed the selector clutch in the SA position. An application of the brakes is made and the Trainman walks the train again to assure the proper operation of the SA equipment. As his walk ends at the engine, he would report to the Engineer that everything works. It must be noted that LAP position does not exist when in SA mode. Instructions admonish the Engineer to NOT move the selector clutch again for the remainder of the trip.
In the old days when a crew went on duty at 14th Street, the air tests were performed prior to backing into CUS (Chicago Union Station). Also, in the old days, a tail hose was employed by the Trainman responsible for getting the train safely into the depot and stopped, SHORT of the bumping post ( end of track ). The tail hose was a crude device consisting of a whistle and a valve designed to reduce trainline pressure in an unmeasured manner. As the rear car approached the bumping post, the Trainman would crack the valve to slow the movement. At the proper moment ( hopefully ) the valve was opened ALL the way, placing the train in emergency. The air in the trainline cannot now be restored until some kindly person closes the tail hose valve. If no one does anything, the engine will send air back through the brake pipe until it runs out of air.
That having been said, this might be a good place to insert a note concerning an idiosyncrasy of Vapor-Clarkson Steam Generators. The boilers need pressurized air to atomize the fuel in order to remain operational. There are several methods available to the Engineer of saving the air most of which require getting down off the engine. One method that does not require getting down is as simple as moving the air brake selector clutch to AU and placing the brake valve handle in LAP position. We have now stopped the flow of air as well as violated a rule.
Once under way, another rule requires that an application of the train brakes must be made to determine that they work ( the running test ) . Since the maximum speed through the Canal Street curve is 25 mph, what better place to kill two birds with one brake application. Most trains can exceed 25 on their way past the coach yard so, as the curve draws near, the Engineer reaches for the brake valve handle and moves it to the Application Position. Application Position exists ONLY in SA mode. As the handle is moved the Engineer hears a small but DISTINCTIVE exhaust of air. This small exhaust ONLY occurs in the AU position and, with the speed well above 25 and the curve immediately in front of the engine there's a MAD SCRAMBLE by the Engineer to center the brake handle, fumble with the selector clutch to find SA, move the brake valve handle to Release Position and then apply the straight air brakes to the train.
Let's see, what was that rule governing the use of the selector clutch after an air test? Hmmm.

Original Digital Painting with Procreate, iPad Pro, and Apple Pencil. 24 hours painting time.
This is my most complex, carefully crafted, work to date. The black grid and shapes are all hand-drawn and painted. The red yellow and blue fills likewise. The white overlays were added last and sit on top of the primary fills.
Because it was painted in layers, I also can produce the ‘Primary Variation’ - a version without the white overlays. Although this one is what I envisioned from the start, the Primary Variation may be the stronger image. Opinions welcome.

Once again I had been called into the field for a last minute operation for the Triumvirate, I had my orders to go to Iridonia, a planet covered in rocks sand and acid pools. The planet was an important one to capture as it had access to many useful hyper lanes, leading straight to the hearts of some of our greatest threats, so it was key that we executed the orders without fail.
Once landing, I had been dispatched from the main group with a squad of elite death troopers, who were to help me target a specific group of rebels while the rest rounded out other rebels. We arrived at the house, which was surrounded by an acid lake, typical of this part of the planet, where we entered peacefully, the Zabrak I talked claimed he knew nothing but I k ew who he was, Baak Chiser, freedom fighter of Iridonia, as I continued to pursue answers from him about the hideouts located around the planet, the remainder of my squad located those that were there and executed them without question. We had them all where we wanted them except for one, there was a child of Chiser’s who was hidden from us, I tapped into their fins but found nothing, my troopers arrived back to me and reported they had done what they had asked. “I will escort Chiser back the ship personally, he has a child find it!”
