Village of Hainesville, Illinois
It was a breezy day with the flag flapping back and forth, and it took me multiple tries to get a shot with the flag in the center with both men visible. But on my seventh try... Success! 😋
An eastbound passenger special powered by Rio Grande GP60 Nos. 3156 and 3154 curve over the mouth of Coal Creek Canyon between Plainview and Clay, Colorado, on October 20, 1997. For several years after Rio Grande purchased Southern Pacific, Ansco business car 100, the “Kansas,” was lettered for SP but still retained D&RGW colors. Someone’s outside on the rear platform enjoying a stogie as the train drops downgrade toward Denver.
Cuban cigars are an acquired taste, like Scotch whisky.

My Dad will be turning 91 this Autumn and I know that my time with him is limited and I try to make the best of it. Even though at times it's hard to be patient with his poor ears and his very limited short term memory. I shared a similar image over a year ago but I came upon unedited pics and I used a different style-technique. I liked these I hope you do too.
Dad's turning 89 this month the image portrays a man who has lived a long life has loved much and worked hard. My family really seemed to like this image so I'm going to share it with my friends on Flickr. Have a wonderful holiday weekend!

HTT!
I don't think my Dad knew how to react when he saw my camera. He didn't try to crack a smile and I didn't ask him too. It was a special moment together and I'm glad that I have a record if it.

While the guys fished, I smoked a cigar. Funny story about this particular cigar too. I was with the man in a local tobacconist shop and the owner overheard me say that I will occasionally share a stogie. Well, I guess he thought that was somehow cool and presented me with a CAO Moontrance cigar. It's like a $5.00 cigar. Not something just handed to people for free for no reason. It was sweet...and a good smoke too. A mild blend of Dominican tobaccos with an extract of exotic fruits, bourbon vanilla, and Hawaiian honey.
The front of the "Chew Building", which faces across the Ohio River to Ohio. I wonder if the barns were copied from this, or if they painted the building like the barns. Whichever it is, this is the home base of it all. Mail Pouch is now owned by Swishers, the little cigar people.
In front of the factory, there's a marker plaque giving some background and history of the company, and Mail Pouch. Here's the entire text of the marker:
The Bloch family emigrated to Wheeling from Germany in the 1840s and opened a dry goods store on Main Street, between 12th and 14th Streets. The enterprising family also ran a stogie operation on the second floor of the building. After the flood of 1884 destroyed their grocery inventory, Aaron and Samuel Bloch sold their interests in the dry goods business and focused on tobacco production. The fact that the flood did not destroy their tobacco was taken as a sign that tobacco was their future.
In 1897, Bloch Brothers introduced Mail Pouch Chewing Tobacco, which became their signature product. At first, their chewing tobacco was taken from scraps and trimmings from other tobacco products. These were mixed with molasses and other flavors, earning the nickname "West Virginia Cole Slaw." Mail Pouch has been made in Wheeling for over a century. At its zenith, the company employed hundreds of female workers and produced 120 million packages of Mail Pouch a year. The company was said to have known the location of every new oil field in this country, because an order for Mail Pouch was received from the fields as soon as operations began. At one point, Bloch Brothers Tobacco was offering a dozen kinds of chew and almost as many kinds of pipe tobacco.
Beginning in 1925, Bloch Brothers began advertising their products using the now famous Mail Pouch barn signs, featuring "CHEW MAIL POUCH - TREAT YOURSELF TO THE BEST." In 1947, the company hired painter Harley Warrick, who became synonymous with the signs. During his 35-year career, Harley painted between 16,000 and 18,000 barns. Ocassionally Harley would deliberately misspell a word and wait to see how long it would take people to notice. Approximately 1,000 of these barns are still standing within a 500-mile radius from Wheeling, WV.
The first Marsh factory was located on Water Street, between 12th and 14th streets. Later the factory was moved to 12th Street, between Main and Water streets. Mifflin Marsh died in January of 1901. The following year M. Marsh and Son was incorporated. Though the control of the new corporation passed from the Marsh family, Mifflin's son, William stayed with the firm until his death in 1921. In 1908 a new factory was established at 913 Market St. The operations were moved to 915 Market St. in 1920. Later, one floor was added to the original building, and two five-story brick buildings were erected. In the spring of 1940, the plant was further enlarged by the purchase of an adjacent building.
The Marsh Wheeling Stogie plant in Wheeling closed its doors in 2001. Marsh Wheeling Stogies are now produced by the National Cigar Company which moved production to Frankfort, Indiana.
Founded in Wheeling in 1840, Marsh sold hand-rolled stogies out of market baskets to crews and captains on Ohio River steamboats. Founder Mifflin Marsh walked up and down the bank of the Ohio River selling his stogies to every crew member, captain, and passenger.

Anyone familiar with this building will recognize that I removed the huge "Available" banner from the front facade. Even though that impacts the integrity of the image, I wanted to better represent the building as it was designed.

After receiving the patrol version and the predator from X, I was so impressed with them that I decided to pick up the extraction version of Dutch to have the whole set. The alternate portrait is nice (especially the stogie), and you gotta love the "stick around" knife.
I missed out on the Arnie figures from Predator when NECA released them a few years ago so I was really looking forward to picking up one or two of the recent re-issues. Then, wouldn't you know it, I found this 25th Anniversary figure on ebay for half the price of the new ones. I may buy one of the other versions eventually but I think this is my favourite, mainly because of the stogie.
And did we tell you the name of the game, boy? We call it 'riding the gravy train'...
Bill Crisp is indeed riding the "gravy train" as he pilots a short, over-powered #145 Ford autoparts train from the cab of the Veterans unit, whilst enjoying a large stogie.

How does one follow up a white wedding? With a Fuente Don Arturo AnniverXario Cigar (which is no stogie by definition)
listed as number four of the top 10 most expensive cigars. This cigar was created in 2001 but was released seven years later in 2008. The president of the company, known as Carlito Fuente, created the cigar brand in memory of his father, known as Arturo. For a box of 46 sticks, expect to pay $7,500.
