Okay, I'm five behind on my 365, but with the pictures from today, I WILL be caught up. I hate cheating, but it's the only way. I don't want to quit just yet.
So yeah. Shad and I checked out a new abandoned house today. Lots of dead racoons. Like, seven. And there's probably more. o_O

Carl Schulz Non Championship Points - Supposedly the 'rain delay' that Shaw asked the promoter for was the first such recorded for AAA sanctioned races.(Phil Harms Data) www.champcarstats.com/races/1933nc1.htm
Carl Schulz Leon Duray still owned this car with Shaw driving (Duray purchased this and another (FD) in 1929 after they were burned to a crisp at the Los Angeles Auto Show.
www.oldracingcars.com/indy/miller/1926-2/
Michael Ferner records the history for this car as follows -see oldracing cars. info "’2608’ the 1926 Hartz/Comer grey & blue #8 car Harry’s second car was driven by Fred Comer, Wade Morton and Hartz himself in 1926, then Hartz (grey & blue #1), Eddie Hearne, Leon Duray, Ira Vail and Dave Evans (#16) in 1927. Sold to Bill White in late ‘27 for Indy winner George Souders (blue & white #3), then Evans again and Jimmy Gleason in 1928. Allegedly burned at an Auto Show in Los Angeles in early 1929, but saved and sold to Leon Duray, it appears. !!! Dees disagrees here, and gives it back to White, but contemporary reports are quite clear in that Duray apparently bought both cars (this one and a front-drive) from the fire wreck! Dees (in the 2nd edition) also describes Duray’s car as a wide-frame ’122’, which it was clearly not! Anyway, it was driven by Tony Gulotta at Indy (violet & yellow #23), then apparently brought to Europe along with Duray’s two front-drives and perhaps used in record attempts at Monthéry, then back to the States where it was only sporadically used by Duray (#6?) until late summer in 1932, racing at Ascot with a ’220’ engine (black #64). Back to Europe in September for a fruitless attempt at Monza, then returned to Ascot competition (now black & white #28) with Wilbur Shaw, Sam Palmer, Mauri Rose and Al Gordon driving. Rechassised in early ‘33, it was #20 for a short time, then #3 for Shaw again and subsequently also in Midwestern events. Duray campaigned the car in the Midwest and East until 1935, with Mauri Rose, Tony Gulotta and possibly Babe Stapp driving (white & black #13), then sold it to Gil Pirrung. Billy Devore and Babe Stapp drove it for Pirrung (blue #12 & #6), who sold it to Joel Thorne a year or so later. Subsequent history unclear, but driven in dirt track events and at Pikes Peak (!) by Shaw, Russ Snowberger, possibly Floyd Davis and many others."
Last weekend I attended an "Indian relic show" (that's what the managers call it) with my husband. It was quite amazing. George is an archaeologist and knows about this material, but he is not a private collector. He represents scientific archaeology; most material recovered from scientific digs ends up in museums and universities. But the private side continues to flourish. Most of this material has been collected from the surface of the ground, or nearly so. But some of it may have been excavated--many Indian burial mounds were destroyed, sadly, by private persons long ago, before the birth of academic archaeology in the late 19th century.
Many of these guys (and they are almost all guys) know a great deal about the subject and have huge collections, as you can see. This meeting happens just one day a year. Buying and selling does go on, but a big part of it is appreciation and "education", as they like to say.
Whatever one thinks of the politics of such collecting, one can't help but admire the fantastic art and craft of the indigenous peoples who occupied this continent before the coming of Europeans. It was quite a roomful!! This is just a sample of the images I shot. (Ceiling light reflections impossible to avoid!)

Skinner Wins All British Final to Claim Second Goanna Pro Longboard Tapia Title
TAPIA DE CASARIEGO, Asturias, Spain (Saturday, April 23, 2011) – Ben Skinner (Newquay, GBR), 30, has won the ASP Longboard Qualifying Series (LQS) 1-Star Goanna Pro Tapia today after defeating fellow British surfer Adam Griffiths (Newquay, GBR), 23, in a hard-fought final, taking home the valuable ranking points and US$2000 winner’s prize. Skinner, who was able to make the best out of the good clean conditions on offer throughout the final day, was unstoppable en route to victory despite a series of solid exchanges with Griffiths.
Skinner, using both experience and great variety of technique to tame the incoming-tide bigger sets, led the battle all the way through to the end, using stylish nose-rides and fast forehand re-entries to secure points. With an accurate wave selection throughout the 40-minute final and pleasing the Easter weekend crowds, the experienced athlete was able to stay ahead and win the ASP sanctioned 1-Star Longboard Qualifying Series (LQS) event for the second time in three years.
“I am so stoked right now and it’s pretty emotional,” Skinner said. “I wanted that win so bad, I wanted to do it for my dad, my new sponsor, my wife and kids and it’s just so good to take the win. I really overwhelmed wiith emotions right now and this win means a lot to me.”
With solid experience and using the priority tactics smartly, Skinner was able to capitalize on his opening good rides to patiently wait for the better walling-up waves and sections, using a maximum of speed to throw his nine-foot board off the top and show impressive commitment to the ASP judging panel.
“I started the final falling on my first wave and had to come all the way in to get my board so it didn’t begin well,” Skinner added. “The waves were good but it wasn’t easy to pick the opening ones and I am super stoked I managed to stick to my game and have a grip on the win all the way. Having a final with Adam was also a great thing, we are friends and he is definitely the young guy rising and I am sure we’ll qualify together for the ASP World Longboard Tour. A great thanks to all the support in recognizing our division and I can’t wait to compete at home for the European title and elite qualification.”
Finishing runner-up after the two-day event rally, Griffiths did not let go until the final hooter, paddling back out to the line-up to try and secure a second solid wave. Walking on his board from tail to nose and showing classical drop-knee frontside cutbacks, the other Fistral beach resident lacked some vertical sections to express the full repertoire of longboard surfing.
“I am super happy to have made my first final ever in an ASP event today and to have it against a friend makes it even better,” Griffiths said. “I was disappointed with my surfing in the final as I couldn’t find the good waves and just felt out of rhythm for this final heat. However, it’s a great finish for Ben and I and definitely brings great confidence before the second event.”
Leaving Tapia No. 2 on the ASP European Longboard Series and already eyeing the second and final event which will take place next August at his home beach, Griffiths was satisfied with his run in the Goanna Pro Longboard Tapia event, his runner-up finish to be counted in his career best results on the ASP tour. Considered one of Europe’s best longboard rising surfers, Griffiths will be much expected when he takes to the water in the final event in front of his home crowds.
“My goal is to get on the ASP World Longboard Tour events and this runner-up finish is just a super boost towards achieving it,” Griffiths added. “It’s been a great event for all of us, someone has to lose in the end and I wish next time the tables will turn.”
Placing equal 3rd in the event were French athletes Alexis Deniel and Remi Arauzo, both failing to advance through to the final despite some solid surfing. Both used to Semifinals and top finishes, Deniel and Arauzo came short of a second good ride in their respective battles letting the British contingent surf through to the final.
Having opened their runs on Day 1 with excellent levels including progressive flying maneuvers from Arauzo who landed the only Superman of the event in the Quarterfinals, the French team was not able to counter the Newquay residents’ assaults not failing in their wave pick and fast vertical forehand attacks.
“It was a good event and I felt good on the first day but failed in the Semifinals,” Arauzo said. “I felt I could have got higher scores as I wasn’t surfing too bad but things went Ben’s way and he deserved to make it to the final again.”
The ASP European Longboard Series will be back on from August 8 to 14, 2011, with the Relentless Longboard Masters taking place in Fistral Beach, Newquay in England.

The Extra Mile - Points of Light Volunteer Pathway, dedicated to the spirit of service in America, is a series of bas-relief medallions in the sidewalk forming a one-mile walking path that begins at the corner of 15th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue NW, goes north on 15th to G Street and continues right on G Street. The privately funded initiative of the Points of Light Institute debuted in 2005 with twenty initial honorees, each of whom is memorialized with a likeness and a brief biography, cast in bronze. he line of markers will eventually go to 11th Street, head south for a block to F Street, west along F Street to 15th and back to the beginning, when future honorees are selected by a nine-member panel.
Paul Harris (1868-1947) was inducted to the Extra Mile on October 14, 2005. Inspired by the simple idea of combining fellowship and service, Harris pioneered the service club movement with the founding of Rotary International. Rotary fulfilled his dream of a worldwide organization of business and professional people serving their communities and promoting international understanding. Rotary continues to expand global horizons through its educational programs and offers hope through its humanitarian efforts and public health campaigns.

A day out on the Bodmin Steam Railway, or the Bodmin and Wenford Railway.
The Great Western Railway opened its branch line from Bodmin Road to Bodmin General 27 May 1887, and on 3 September 1888 a junction line was opened to join with the Bodmin and Wadebridge Railway at which had opened its line from Bodmin North to Wadebridge in 1834.
The line closed on 3 October 1983 following the ending of freight traffic from Wenford.
In 1984 the Bodmin Railway Preservation Society was formed, and they held their first open day at Bodmin general two years later.
1987 saw the Cornish Steam locomotive Society move their equipment from Bugle to Bodmin.
A Light Railway Order was granted in 1989 and the following year passenger services recommenced between Bodmin General and Bodmin Road, although by now that station had been renamed "Bodmin Parkway".
A new intermediate station known as Colesloggett Halt was brought into use.
In 1996 the former junction line was also reopened, with another new station provided as Boscarne Junction.
Bodmin was the most important town in Cornwall when the Cornwall Railway opened on 4 May 1859. Original proposals to build a branch to the town failed as the company could not raise enough capital, so instead they decided to open a station called "Bodmin Road" at a convenient point.
The new station was finally ready to open on 27 June 1859 and was named "Bodmin Road". Because of its remote location the station master was paid five pounds by the Post Office to carry out the duties of post master. He also received a special lodging allowance until a house could be provided for him two years later. A goods shed was built in 1860 at the east end of the station, behind the platform for trains to Plymouth and cattle pens were added the following year. A footbridge across the line was built by Mr Robartes in 1860 to enable visitors to reach Lanhydrock more easily. This was later replaced by a passage beneath the tracks. This path is still used by visitors to this National Trust property who arrive by train.
In 1989 the old station buildings, except for the signal box, were demolished and replaced by modern brick and glass structures. The station had been renamed Bodmin Parkway on 4 November 1983.
There is no booking office for the Bodmin and Wenford trains so passengers buy their tickets from the guard. These use the opposite face of the platform used by mainline trains towards Plymouth. The Bodmin line curves sharply away to the north at the west end of the platform, and between this line and the main line is the exchange siding used for occasional movements between the two railways, and a large modern carriage shed alongside that is used to store rolling stock for the Bodmin and Wenford Railway.

I actually considered using a small compressor or motorising this with a small 6L pump, but why bother?!? I only need about three squirts to change the points and back! Works a treat and is hidden under the lip of my layout.
