BNSF coal moves through Dyer, IN on the ex EJ&E behind a ES44AC and a nice looking SD70MAC. You know I have to point out that he is "unofficially" running wrong main. I say 'unofficially" because in CTC there is no current of traffic, so there's no such thing as Wrong Main. Should I be worried about my existence?
We went to Mona Vale this morning in the hope that the water would be flowing over the pool. Not to be but it was still a fantastic morning.
RJCP-02 leaves Cresson with the NS 56K corn train. The crew decided to add the NS power ahead of their units as the trail NS motor was facing the wrong way for the return trip. Can't win them all.
On 08/02/20 I headed to Derby Midland Station to see DRS 57301 working the 0M59 Kilmarnock CE Sdgs to Leicester LIP move. This was unusual in that it travelled to Crewe via the WCML then across to Stoke and North Stafford Jn, but instead of going via Castle Donington (requiring no reversal) heading east then back south to Leicester, it came up to Derby and turned before heading across to Spondon to continue south. Very odd, but it allowed a few shots as the driver changed ends.
July2025. Got turned around here and headed the wrong way. Gould has a brand new Water Tower that even AI doesn’t think exists. The water tower got me straightened out.

no more dreaming like a girl so in love with the wrong world.
my self portrait "project" has gone nowhere because I'm lame. part of my problem is that I'm so in love with film that digital just doesn't seem the same anymore.
this place is incredible though, the sun sets right over the hill and at 8:45pm the entire sky gets golden with hints of pink. I'm sure you'll see this background in many more photos over the summer because it's too good to pass up.
summer has been wonderful, I've hung out with friends, soaked up the sun, embraced my curly hair and I get to see andrew again on friday. in this exact moment, everything seems okay.

The grain on Adox CMS II is so fine and nice, even pushed three stops. Ricoh 35 ZF, V800 scan.
Forse è solo il posto sbagliato?
Forse devo solo guardare oltre?
Ok, ci provo, davvero, ma intanto lasciatemi il mio spazio, ho bisogno del mio stramaledetto spazio.

Goolwa.
The Currency Creek Special Survey was taken out in 1839 by the Currency Creek Association based in England. Locally it was their agent Robert Wright who paid for it on behalf of about 30 men. The Currency Creek Association laid out a major town which they hoped would become the New Orleans of the South. It was after all on a good river, near a great lake and near the mouth of the might Murray River system just like the location of New Orleans at the mouth of the Mississippi in the USA. They named it after the local river- Currency Creek. They also laid out a much smaller port for the town which they called Goolwa. Currency Creek town covered 8 acres, Goolwa 2 acres. History would show they made the wrong decision as Goolwa prospered and Currency Creek withered! One of the early explorers of this region Young Hutchinson (who explored with Thomas Strangways) liked the area so much that he became a major landowner in Goolwa in 1856. Another explorer William Younghusband gave his name to the peninsula near the Murray Mouth. Although the town of Goolwa was laid out in 1840 sales were minimal until the Governor committed the state to developing Goolwa as a river port and Port Elliot as a coastal port for future riverboat trade up the Murray with a horse railway to connect the two. Work began on this £20,000 project in 1851. (An alternate plan to build a canal between the two at an estimated cost of £28,000 was not pursued by the government.) Apart from the Currency Creek Special Survey of 1839 the government also surveyed land along the proposed rail route to Port Elliot in 1849 making land available to buyers. The first land purchases in this region were made in 1849 at Middleton. But Governor Young’s dream of river trade up the Murray and a railway to Port Elliot were not generally popular. A newspaperman wrote in the SA Gazette and Mining Journal in 1851 “There is great difficulty in characterising Sir Henry Young's job "in terms polite". The Goolwa Railway, in the nostrils of the colonists, is odorous of assafoetida, and there are in their mouths, in common use, epithets reflecting upon his Excellency far more offensive than have ever yet appeared in print... Where are the produce, the population, the traffic of the Murray crowding the banks, and suffering for want of an outlet to a market? Why, a single bullock dray once a month will suffice to bring to Adelaide all its exportable produce for the next five years...”
At Goolwa work proceeded and the government invested in the new port town with the construction of the Railway Superintendent’s house in 1852(first occupied in 1854) and the Goolwa wharf in 1852. But the town laid out by the Currency Creek Special Survey in 1840 was still almost non-existent. Its English names like Fenchurch Street and Liverpool Street are now located in North Goolwa. The government surveyed a government town in 1853 next to the Currency Creek Survey town. The first commercial building in the new government town was the Goolwa Hotel (oldest single storey part) built in 1853 and the two storey section was added in 1865. In 1853 the Governor announced a prize of several thousand pounds for the first river boat to prove the Murray was navigable from Goolwa to Wentworth on the Darling River. The Governor and his wife and party journeyed with Captain Cadell. Meantime Captain Randell of Mannum also set off about the same time and the two boats raced to Wentworth. The friend of the Governor - Cadell picked up the prize money and Randell received nothing. But this river boat expedition was so important as it indicated a prosperous future and thus Goolwa began to emerge as a small town with the main street named Cadell after the famous riverboat captain. Next to the government town “Little Scotland” was subdivided into town blocks in 1854. Sales of more town blocks continued in 1855 followed by more in 1856 and some of the first buildings included the bow fronted general store in the Main Street near the old horse tram museum (around 1860), the first Post office 1857(now the Visitor Information Centre), the Police station and Courthouse 1859, the Customs House 1859, the former Australasian Hotel 1857(closed 1934) and the Corio Hotel also 1857 were erected in the fledgling town. Land speculators could see a future for Goolwa and they also began to purchase blocks of land. The first residential stone cottages were erected around 1857 although Highlands House, just a small cottage, was erected in Goolwa in 1853. Goolwa prospered in the 1860s and 1870s when significant development occurred.
One of the finest private buildings of this period from 1860 to 1880 was what is now known as Rose Eden House. This grand two storey Italianate house was built in 1876 with some wrought iron lacework and an upper veranda. It was built for the town school headmaster Mr Phillip Hill who must have run a private school in the town as well as the government school, of which he was headmaster. The government school did not open until 1879. But Mr Hill was a headmaster from 1873 of the town school which became the state school after the passing of the 1785 Education Act. It is claimed that he accommodated school boarders in this large house so that they could attend the Goolwa government school from 1879. Hill left the town of Goolwa in 1884 and the property was sold by him in 1886 when it was known as Hygiene House. It changes hands several times before it was purchased by the SA government in 1913 as a residence for the headmaster of Goolwa Primary School. It served that purpose until sold by the Education Department in 1973. In 2005 it was restored and re-opened as luxury bed and breakfast accommodation with the new name of Rose Eden House. Other fine structures of this 1860 to 1890 era are:
•Thomas Goode’s General Store next to the Goolwa Hotel was built in 1860 and then rebuilt in classical style in 1884. Thomas Goode was the first Post Master of Goolwa in 1857.
•the former Bank of South Australia (1872).
•the Holy Evangelist Anglican church was built in 1867, with the tower added in 1905. But the church was surrounded in controversy as the Governor gave a free land grant in 1855 for the church to be erected.
•the town morgue behind the Courthouse 1883.
•the first part of the Institute opened in 1878. That was the rear part of the current building in a very different style. The Town Hall (now the Alexandrina Council Chamber/Library) was added to the Institute in 1907 facing onto Cadell Street. It was later doubled in size when a matching room was added to the 1907 one.
•the superb Gothic state school built in 1879. The first town school began in Goolwa in 1855.
• the figurehead from the wreck of the Mozambique on the roof line of the Goolwa Hotel. The 403 ton barque Mozambique was built in 1832. It was wrecked off the Coorong in 1854 on a voyage from London to Melbourne. The 22 crew and 24 passengers were all saved but one died from the experience.
•the magnificent ceiling paintings in the Corio Hotel dining room (The Great Yankee Doodle Tobacco mural).
•the original railway station(1872) now an opportunity shop is beside public toilet block near the town rotunda. The railway station was moved to the Goolwa wharf after 1884 when steam trains started operating through to Adelaide. The old yards converted to a park, now the Soldiers’ Memorial Park as the rail yards moved to the Goolwa wharf where it is still located.
•Highlands House in Goyder Street built in 1853. It is probably the oldest residence in Goolwa still in use.
The early churches of Goolwa apart from the Anglican Church include the Congregational Church built in 1859 which is now a dental practice office but it was also used as a Catholic Church from 1896 to 1961. The Wesleyan Methodist Church was built in 1861 with transepts added in 1881 and the Goolwa Church of Christ was built in 1905. The Anglican Church was surrounded in some controversy as without any real authority Governor MacDonnell donated a town block to the Anglican Church in 1855. This was against state policy as it was favouring the Anglican Church as an established church. But the Premier of the day Boyle Finniss put some political spin on it and said the Governor had the right give away one of the government reserves in Goolwa. The local Congregational Minister Reverend Newland of Encounter Bay disputed this and rightly objected but to no avail. The newspapers were flooded with letters of objection.
The fine stone Goolwa flourmill was totally demolished in the 1920s. Edward Dutton had a brewery at Goolwa for some years from 1864 to 1879. Shipbuilding as in river boats and repairs was a major industry in Goolwa but few of these structures remain as they were usually iron and timber and relatively temporary. One of the main companies repairing and building boats was the Goolwa Foundry and Iron Works and Abraham Graham’s Patent Slip and Iron Works established in 1864. Abraham Graham owned Graham’s Castle etc. Ten river barges or steamers were made at Goolwa between 1853 and 1859. Many more followed. Among the many paddle steamers built in Goolwa were the PS Industry (number two) in 1911, the government owned vessel named Prince Alfred (1867), the Canberra - a diesel paddle steamer built late in 1912 and well known paddle steamers such as the Eureka, the Goolwa, the Avoca, the Darling, the Wentworth, the Queen, the Miriam, the Express, the Princess Royal, the Cadell, the Victor, the Kookaburra, the Renmark, etc. Around 60 paddle steamers and barges were constructed in Goolwa with the last completed in 1912. Once the river boat traffic declined Goolwa was left with little industry or employment but this changed in the 1930s when the construction of the Murray River Mouth barrages began. Physical work started in 1935 but preliminary work had started earlier. The five barrages were completed in 1940. They were designed to maintain the river levels between Goolwa and Lock One at Blanchetown and to keep the salt water from the Southern Ocean and the Coorong out of the Murray River channels to Lake Alexandrina. Basically the barrages keep lakes Alexandrina and Albert free of salt so that the water is usable by cattle and stock. The five barrages total 7.6 kms.
Graham’s Castle/Nelcoongal.
Abraham Graham arrived at Port Adelaide in 1853 and then spent a couple of years at the Victorian goldfields looking for a fortune. He returned to South Australia and decided to make money from the gold diggers of Victoria who wanted to buy goods carried by steamer up the Murray River. So he looked at opportunities in Goolwa from where river steamers plied the waters of the Murray River up to Echuca. From there goods were transported overland to the goldfields of Mt Alexander and Bendigo. In 1858 Abraham Graham was appointed as Manager of the River Murray Navigation Company offices in Goolwa. After his arrival in Goolwa he purchased 31 acres of land and in 1863 he built a classical style house called Nelcoongal which the locals referred to as Graham’s Castle. It was on Goolwa Hill and built into the hill and from the flat roof Abraham Graham could watch the shipping along the coast or in the port of Goolwa. The walls of the house were two feet thick and composed of Goolwa limestone. He stayed in Nelcoongal for only a few years before he built Mill Cottage in the centre of Goolwa. Later in 1885 Abraham Graham built a grander house on the Port Elliot Road which he called Burrang and Graham’s Castle was sold. Apart from managing the offices of the Murry River Navigation Company Graham established the Graham’s Iron Works and (boat) Slip in 1864. This company built paddle steamers, barges engines and boilers for the river craft. Graham closed that business in 1886 after he had built Burrang and after the new railway line between Mt Barker Junction and Goolwa had opened thus impacting upon the Murray River traffic and business. In its heyday the Goolwa Works had employed 30 to 40 men. Only the old Chart Room remains of what was once an extensive barge and steamer building foundry and slip. The last of the major machinery and engines were sold to the Chaffey Brothers irrigation scheme at Renmark in 1888. Abraham Graham died at Burrang in 1903 and was buried in the Currency Creek/Goolwa cemetery.
Grahams Castle had numerous owners after the 1890s and gradually fell into disrepair. In 1962 it was purchased by the WEA of Adelaide as a residential centre for adult education courses. But first hundreds of volunteer hours by WEA students and tutors and a small government grant saw Graham’s Castle restored and refurnished. The WEA President of the day Dorothy Pash attended local clearing sales and furnished Graham’s Castle with antiques which at that time were almost worthless and generally unwanted. The refurbished Graham’s Castle was officially opened for the WEA by the Attorney General Don Dunstan in 1967. Although students loved the courses at Graham’s Castle they seldom covered costs and in 1973 the WEA was forced to sell the property which the National Fitness Council purchased. They in turn sold the property a few years later to the government for use by the Department of Tourism, Recreation and Sport. Today Graham’s Castle has lost all of its surrounding lands and it is just another Goolwa residential property.

Makoto: "Shouldn't I wear them to leave the fitting room after I take these off?"
YukI: “Is it my job to keep track of them?”
Makoto: “Why do you think I bring you shopping with me? Don’t you know you’re supposed to help me?”
Yuki: “Shouldn’t your shopping wingman get a bubble tea out of the deal?”
Makoto: “Does my shopping wingman know my money is in my the pocket of my shorts?”
Yuki: “Do you know, I think I found them?”
Makoto: “Wasn’t that quick?”
Yuki: “You think about how much more money would fit in these giant cargo pants pockets?”
Makoto: “How much money do you think I have?”

Lost my job, lost my car, but haven't lost my way.
How does one write a post like this? I’ve been thinking about it since last Friday, when Bora first told me they were choosing to outsource I.T. and that my role is no longer need, and there is no easy way to find the words with so many emotions hitting all at once. I put my heart and soul into this company. I’ve enjoyed the feeling that we were literally changing the world through our architecture, and that, in my own unique and quirky way, I was a part of that. They’re an interesting crew here: passionate, inspirational, and talented… I strongly believe that who I am today and how I’ve grown over the past nine years is a direct result of surrounding myself with such exceptional people. This is the story of my life really, with everyone who has invested time in me over the years and nudged me forward in times of struggle and growth. Certainly this is true of no one more than my wife, but also people like my parents, my brother, my kids, or David Ortman, or Ed and Jan Cogar, or Mike Demkowicz, and countless others who if I took the time to list their names would fill up volumes.
But then there’s this unnatural coexistence of acceptance and denial to deal with. This strange feeling that optimism and pessimism have somehow moved in together, at least for a little while, to see how things work out. There are these times I feel on the verge of tears when coworkers stop by my desk share some kind words and are on the verge of tears themselves. I bear no ill will to my employer and wish them the best, and although I personally think they’re making a huge mistake I at least understand why the decision was made, which helps somehow. As a believer I take comfort in knowing that while this news came as a surprise to me, it did not come as a surprise to God, and that, as the cliché goes, sometimes when one door closes another opens. In reflecting back on past emails from friends who found themselves in similar circumstances I’m reminded of something Miyeko Endy, a former coworker of mine, said in her farewell letter, “I have learned at least one thing in my life, though it is a constant battle to remind myself of this lesson: that one can safely linger (but not dwell) in adversity, to better appreciate the richness of spirit that comes from contrast and challenge”. Yes, I think that’s about right; this rings true.
I took this particular photo a few months ago on a lazy Sunday afternoon. My family was taking a nap for a few hours so I drove the working car out to the nearby forest and took an intentional wrong turn, off trail and into the overgrowth, bushwhacking my way toward the sound of rushing water. What I found surprised me, this little cozy nook in the forest, where I could sit and stare for a while with the pinhole camera my wife gave me for my birthday a few months earlier. What a gift.

Chloe took this picture with the remote from my camera. She was waiting not-so-patiently for the waitress to bring her another juice.
The single parenting of a little girl about to enter into pre-adolescence really is starting to have its challenges. I'm starting to discover that there are issues coming up that I really don't have the answer for. I've noticed lately slightly more defience and rebelious behavior that just didn't occur when she was younger.
Boy I'm in for a ride.
I'm trying to figure this out. It really can be tricky. I hope I'm doing it right.
See when I say "right", I mean when she leaves my "nest" upon growing up that she has been provided with everything from me to do so. You know things like being full of life, confidence, positive energy and general world common sense. Sadly, the large majority of people I meet in my life usually lack many or all of these things. Hell I lack some of that myself at times.
It's of great importance for me that I make sure she has good manners and respects other people. I try to show her that it is important to only judge other people on how they treat HER and not what they look like or from what other say about them second hand.
I tell her she is pretty all the time because... well she is. In fact, I tell her she's the prettiest in the whole town because... well fuck it why not, she probably is. Girls need to hear that shit.
I tell her she is the smartest in her class. And that she needs to SHOW it and set the example. Homework and school work in general is of #1 concern for her and the #1 thing in her life.
Things like cheating, lying, and being sneaky I have put at my #1 hit-list of things I pound in her head that I will not tolerate. I think I even told her I "hate" people like that. That's a bit much but I think she got the point.
Then there are things like patience, carelessness, and getting annoyed easily which come hard to her (especially with her being a child). These are some of my own personal struggles as a freaking adult. I feel like the pot calling the kettle black when I get mad at her for something dealing with these things.
