Forty-five blocks in. I'm finally approaching the halfway mark. If I'd paid more attention to cutting, I'd have finished at least eight blocks today. I'll just have to make that up tonight.
Pattern: Bookworm sweater from Miss Bea's Rainy Day by Louisa Harding

Looking east toward the abandoned Monrovia Santa Fe train station, with the sign for the proposed Metro Gold Line station in the background.
Now that I have shorter needles, the sleeve is progressing much faster. The only question is how long I should make it!
Rebuilding and progress is everywhere in this photograph. The street filled with traffic, the orange fencing and barrels, and the rising dust cloud. The cloud is a result of ground level construction.
The Balkans War in 1999 brought Kosovo out of the grip of Serbian forces led by Slobodan Milosevic's government. Not meant in any way to trivialise this we can say politics and relations between Serbia, Albania, Montenegro,and Kosova were extremely complicated and volatile then and are still so today.
The construction is evidence of the Kosovars intent to move forward.

Bleeding the brake system ABS unit. On these cars, the ABS control unit is accessed from inside the car. Heaven forbid you have an accidental brake fluid leak during the bleeding process...
One-man brake bleeding is always a pain, or at least it used to be. I got a Moeller Fluid Extractor and it makes the whole process a breeze.
Yes, the garage is a mess...
This seat is on the "Desire" streetcar—that is, the one used in "A Streetcar Named Desire", and one of the streetcars that rolled through the "Desire District" in New Orleans. Our host at the Trolley Museum explained to us that the little holes you see were actually a sort of flag; if the peg was up, it was for "coloured people" to sit in, and all the seats without the peg up were for white people.
Rather stunningly remarkable, to someone my age especially. Can you imagine? Obviously we all know this sort of thing was common, but every time I'm reminded of it or confronted by it it's a shock.
Thankfully, today in America, any person of any race can sit wherever they like. That, my friends, is real progress.
