Made a little progress on my Gloria living room repaint. I filled gaps with white glue, let it dry (took 2 applications = 2 days), spray painted it, and applied 2 coats of dark gray chalk paint to the upholstery area. Still more to do, but at least I got a little crafting in the past few days. Plan to lighten up the upholstery with a thin application of chalk paint (winter white? Light gray?) and shabby up the other part with something. Creme wax tinted white? Tinted gray? Brown wax? Don't know, yet.
The eastbound Rocky Mountaineer with borrowed UP power approaches Blue Mountain Road. In the background you can see the progress on the new housing development. Do I think it's terrible that the signature shots near Tunnel 1 will be forever changed? Yes. Would I buy one of those trackside properties if I won the lotto? Also yes.
We have taller buildings but shorter tempers; wider freeways but narrower viewpoints; we spend more but have less; we buy more but enjoy it less; we have bigger houses and smaller families; more conveniences, yet less time; we have more degrees but less sense; more knowledge but less judgment; more experts, yet more problems; we have more gadgets but less satisfaction; more medicine, yet less wellness; we take more vitamins but see fewer results. We drink too much; smoke too much; spend too recklessly; laugh too little; drive too fast, get too angry quickly; stay up too late; get up too tired; read too seldom; watch TV too much and pray too seldom. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values; we fly in faster planes to arrive there quicker, to do less and return sooner; we sign more contracts only to realize fewer profits; we talk too much; love too seldom, and lie too often. We’ve learned how to make a living, but not a life; we’ve added years to life, not life to years.

I'm lamenting the frenzied activity of 2022 where this service would produce a 69 for haulage and the desire to get a decent shot of every loco as it worked this service....hopefully later in the year when they are fully back in service I can resume.

This is the current state of a jigsaw puzzle we have been working on for a long time. Probably the most difficult one we have ever tried to do.
I tried a different joint system this time. Can’t say yet if I have a favorite or not. Still getting used to working with clay.

From the late Bob Segal: The Spirit of Progress statue atop the Art Deco Montgomery Ward Administration Building is variously attributed to either sculptor-architect Joseph Conradi or George Mulligan, son of sculptor Charles James Mulligan. The statue became the on-going symbol for Montgomery Ward. The foundry was the American Bronze Company. It was installed in 1929.
