Free Air is a collection of autobiographical stories from The Saturday Evening Post. The cover illustrated the tendency to illustrated cloth before the 1920's. Lewis was a relative unknown when this title was issued. Compare it to Ann Vickers.
Castle Sinclair Girnigoe, Noss Head Caithness, Scotland, Photographed on 13 July 2008, during renovation. The castle was held by Clan Sinclair since the late 14th century. The Sinclairs are well embedded in Scottish history throughout the centuries.
I was surprised to see that Leni's former husband, John Sinclair, was there too. He lives in New Orleans now. Long trip for him. He was selling his book "Guitar Army: Street Writings/Prison Writings." John was a light in my youthful constellation of countercultural stars. Partly because he lived down the highway in Detroit, then Ann Arbor, during my time growing up as a sometime hippie in East Lansing, Michigan, but more particularly because of an unusual bond I felt for him. A bond formed by the fact that my stepfather was the director of the state corrections department during the time John was in prison. My stepfather told me once that he had a role in John's early release. I asked John about that today, and he thought I must be mistaken; that my stepfather might have signed some paper as a mere formality, but that he surely didn't have any interest in springing John early. I'm not sure who's right.
Haven't seen a Sinclair station with the quaint dinosaur logo for a lot of years around the east but they're still going strong out west I guess.

Abbie did not loose all her prego weight. She was not skinny before, but she did not have that much of a belly. Kind of interesting she did not go back exactly to the same size like in previous Sims games.

Okay, I know you folks who live out that way are probably used to these things, but we don't have this type of gas in my neck of the woods and seeing green dinos floating in the air is really a new thing for me.
Edit: 2022 This station became a not a Sinclair, then became a Sinclair again, but the dinosaur is gone.
After miles of driving we finally reached civilization in the form of US Route 14, just east of Midland, South Dakota. The fate of this Sinclair gas station/cafe is typical of businesses struggling to survive miles away from Interstate 90.
Abigail might be developing a crush on her mom's teen aged best friend. Maybe he will stay a teen long enough for Abigail to date >.>

The identical "West Country" and "Battle of Britain" pacifics were built to provide increased power for use on the Southern's secondary main lines, especially those in the West country with weight restrictions. However, some of Bulleid's novel ideas, designed to reduce maintenance costs, proved troublesome. Therefore in 1957 a programme of rebuilding the locomotives along conventional lines was started. The rebuilding of the Bulleid light pacifics added several tons to their weight, but produced, to all intents, brand-new locomotives, whilst retaining the distinctive light-weight Bulleid-Firth-Brown wheels and his superb free-steaming boiler, along with many other of the successful innovative design features.
Rescued from Barry scrapyard in 1979 without a tender, this locomotive has since then been the subject of ongoing restoration work and fundraising. A tender underframe was salvaged from a steel-works, the original intention being to use this in conjunction with a new body. However this underframe was in poor condition, and in the end only some fittings from it were used, with the tender frames being constructed at Sheffield Park from new material. A new 5250-gallon tender body has been made, and placed on it.
The formal launch into Bluebell service, as the first rebuilt Battle of Britain to steam in preservation, performed by Viscount Thurso (grandson of Sir Archibald Sinclair, who was the wartime Secretary of State for Air from 1940) on 24th April 2009. Regretably, the loco was withdrawn during October 2011, in need of further firebox repairs, which will keep it out of action for at least a year.
