As I write this, I'm spending my 50th day this year of traveling for work (and, adding personal vacation travel, my 72nd). Indeed, I've been spending rather more time on airplanes (at this particular moment, on a Southwest 737 flying from MDW to LAX).
How I got to here, I'm not sure. Most of my fellow engineers don't travel nearly as much, and most of them that do are significantly senior to me. However, it always seems that there's another client in another city that's got another pressing engineering problem that requires my on-site presence. Adding it up, this year I've been on over 60 flights, and visited over 25 airports. It's been quite a ride, and that's a lot of nights away from home, a lot of time packing, and a lot of time pulling one quart bags from my carryons before getting wanded at the X-rays.
It's not without it's benefits, however. I've got frequent flier benefits from both Southwest and United begging to get used. I've gotten to see quite a few interesting things, and eaten at even more interesting places (a hobby of mine that most readers of this are already well aware).
I write many essays on whales. I love whales, especially orcas. And dolphins.

The Anglican church decision, taken behind closed doors, to demolish the cathedral and replace it with a cardboard replica (no, this is not the plot of a Goon Show episode) will haunt the church for decades into the future.
Envelope for a soldier's letter home mailed from Annapolis, Maryland. It is addressed to Mrs. Eliza Thatcher, Reading, Michigan. The postmark looks like it could be May 26, 1864.
What makes this envelope interesting is the poem printed on the left side, expressing the sentiments of many of the boys who were away in the Army at the time.
WRITE OFTEN
Write to me very often,
Write to me very soon,
Letters from dear friends;
Are like flower-buds in June.
They are affections torches,
Lighting of Friendships lamp,
Flitting around the heart strings,
Like fire-flies in the damp.
Write to me very often,
Write in the joyous morn,
Or at the close of evening,
When all the day is gone,
Then while the stars are beaming
Bright in the azure sky,
When through the fading forest,
Cold the wild winds sigh.
Write to me very often,
Letters are links that bind
Youthful hearts to each other,
Fettering mind to mind,
Giving to kindly spirits
Lasting and true delight.
If you want to strengthen friendship
Never forget to write.
This is a reworking of a design produced in 2013. It celebrates four literary figures associated with the Royal Burgh of Irvine (3 visitors who resided in the town for varying lengths of time and 1 native, John Galt).
This is no secret spot but i like the idea of it being revered as one of the most handsome buildings in Singapore. It is located along Saint Andrew's Road, Singapore just beside the equally historic City Hall building.
The Old Supreme Court Building was constructed between 1937 and 1939 on the site of the former Grand Hotel de L'Europe which comprised three 1830's bungalows designed by George Drumgoole Coleman.
The foundation stone was laid by Sir Shenton Whitelegge Thomas, Governor of the Straits Settlements, on 1 April 1937. (Sir Shenton Thomas, after whom Shenton Way was named, was the last governor of the Straits Settlements, and was the governor before and after the Japanese Occupation.) It was, up to then, the biggest foundation stone laid in the whole of Malaya. A time capsule containing six Singapore newspaper and a handful of Straits Settlement coins were buried beneath the foundation stone, only to be retrieved in the year 3000.

"It is not enough to write a revolutionary poem" is an adapted version of the "Southern Constellations: Poetics of the Non-Aligned" exhibition that was first shown in the Museum of Modern Art, Ljubljana in 2019. The second edition was presented in the Asia Culture Center in Gwangju, South Korea in 2020. The exhibition in Rijeka is conceptualized in a different way as it happens on the occasion of the sixtieth anniversary of the first NAM conference in Belgrade. It focuses on the historical cases as a kind of introduction to the cultural politics of the non-aligned movement; projects and researches presented are related to the cultural exchanges and cultural programs between Yugoslavia and the non-aligned countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America. The exhibition also includes contemporary works that examine the relevance or the use of NAM’s ideas for today from the position that “it is not enough to write a revolutionary poem”.
