The raindrops were trying had to fall. I had to full in tow hours between scans to lit the Radiation Dye go around my body. They were looking for a brake in my leg..they did find a creak in my lower femur. I was in plaster for six weeks so no more walking around the city for a while.

Orléans is the capital of the Loiret department and of the Centre region. A city steeped in History especially surrounding "The Maid of Orleans" more commonly known as Joan of Arc, he house still stands in the city, as do many semi-timbered buildings from the middle ages. this is a building just around the corner to Joan's house.
Purchased by the Pacific Imperial Railway (aka PIR) the successor in interest to the Carrizo Gorge Railway, these three former CSX GP40-2's sit rotting away in the sun on the end of the Desert Line at Plaster City California. Word has it, that these three GP-40's are essentially useless to the PIR because they are grossly under-powered for their intended purpose of pulling double stacked well cars through the gorge to Division on the Mexican border just South and West of Jacumba. Currently, the PIR is involved in a number of management and money problems, the most recent being their newest president (they change like the seasons) is in trouble with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Interestingly enough, a year ago these units were tied down about a 1/2 mile east of their current position and they had to be moved when the UP (the railroad that brought the units to Plaster City) told the PIR guys to get their train off the UP track. Additionally, rumor has it that the units remain unpaid for by the PIR and the former owners are not as of yet, able or interested in going through the grief and expense of reclaiming them from Plaster City. A noted observation from a year ago in 2014, it appears that when the units were moved off the UP track, they were operated a few miles westward where they grabbed four derelict box cars from a string of about 20 sitting on a siding closer to Interstate 8. As to why the operators who moved the three units needed the box cars brought down to Plaster City, who knows. Perhaps it was to have some extra axles to tie down the train because things in the desert are likely to move by themselves in the night (the mind set after the Dubber's Spur incident) or perhaps the PIR guys felt it was necessary to create the illusion that a railroad is actually working out there, and this was a train that was just tied down after a day of switching. It makes one wonder.....

this is the plaster ceiling in a delightful place called the Parkside Candy Shop in Buffalo, NY; besides being a place to buy wonderful candies and chocolates by the pound, it also is a soda fountain and serves sandwiches

Our Lady of Victories was built 1926 on land purchased with funds raised from the sale of the old presbytery. For many years the old church [St Mary’s] had been found totally inadequate to accommodate the ever-growing congregation.
Included is a special chapel for the Nuns, whose school adjoins.
After very careful consideration the architects, Messrs Garlick and Jackman, adopted the Italian Renaissance as their basis.
The Most Reverend Robert William Spence OP DD, Archbishop of Adelaide, laid the foundation stone 3 October 1926.
The opening ceremony of Our Lady of Victories, Glenelg’s new Roman Catholic Church, in High Street, was performed by Archbishop Spence.
This is an imposing building, based on the Corinthian or Roman architecture. The facade is finished off in white Atlas cement, giving the appearance of solid stone. There are four massive Corinthian pillars, surmounted with Ascanthus feathers, above which rises a canopy and pediment. Above all is a large marble cross, which will be flooded with light at night.
Entrance to the church is gained by a short flight of marble steps, and one then passes through ornate polished blackwood doors, in the centre of which are coloured lead-lights.
The interior of the church is beautifully finished off, the Romanesque style prevailing throughout. The altar and sanctuaries are framed in Corinthian pillars and pilasters on the sides, with fibrous plaster panels, to which are attached symbolical paintings. The ventilation of the church is secured through the agency of a number of panels dropped a few inches from the ceilings, which adds considerably to the general effect.
The choir gallery is spacious, and contains a fine pipe organ installed by Dodd and Son, of Adelaide.
All the windows are of coloured leadlights, with a symbolical emblem in the centre. The floor of the sanctuary is laid down in oak parquetry.
On the wall above the altar is a magnificent painting depicting the nativity of Christ, a Correggio copy valued at some hundreds of pounds.
The lighting effect of the altar is particularly fine, throwing the picture out in glorious relief. The cost of the building was nearly £20,000.
A large crowd assembled to witness the opening, and the local residents were augmented by 300 people who journeyed by boat from Edithburgh on Sunday morning.
At 3 o'clock the procession left the vestry of the old church. The Archbishop then performed the ceremony of blessing and consecration outside and inside the church, after which the doors were thrown open.
Welcome to Visitors
Father J D Murphy was the priest in charge at Glenelg. He paid a glowing tribute to Mr S Jackman (of the firm of Garlick & Jackman) for the splendid work he had given them, and also referred in eulogistic terms to the contractors (Messrs Webb & Williams) and the sub-contractors.
During the afternoon Mr W B Hills AMUA, played the second and third movements from Mendelssohn's first organ sonata, and the "War march of priests" (Mendelssohn's), from "Athalie." The recital was given on the organ, which was not quite completely installed. The collection taken up resulted in the realisation of £3,000. [Ref: Glenelg Guardian (SA) 24-11-1927]
Sorry about this but had a busy day with logs and other things so just the one image. I may have mentioned my had wound a time of two and so decided to show you it but without it being too gruesome. I had great difficulty trying to make this image firstly as my right arm won't reach the top of my head unaided and also with my phone above my head I couldn't see the screen but anyway that's it for today.
