  23. I see a lot of fancy modern locomotives featured on Mastodon's train track Tuesday, but none are finer than EMD's F7. This one operatates at the Illinois Railway Museum. The fact that this particular locomotive went into service the year and month I was born has nothing to do with it

  28. What are your suggestions for a home wifi router? Two to four users, 1600 square feet, no smart appliances. We don't download movies or games. Say $125 or less.

    Looking on Amazon is like going down a rabbit hole.

    Thanks

  30. Reminder:

    All groundhogs are local.

    Pay no attention to groundhogs that purport to speak for a country.

  31. A repeat of a previous #TrainTrackTuesday photographed at the Illinois Railway Museum in Union, IL. USA.

  33. I never planned on living in Florida but in looks like that is what we see coming in the next year. Our Tallahassee daughter will keep an eye on us.

    Downside: No good hot dogs, Italian beef, and suspect pizza.

    Upside: New water to fish with a grandson, new photography subjects, and more time with my wife.

  36. I was in my late teens in '68 and remember the seeing live on tv during the police riot in Grant Park, the anti-war demonstrators chanting

    "THE WHOLE WORLD IS WATCHING!

    THE WHOLE WORLD IS WATCHING!"

    Now, the whole world is watching Chicago again, this time witnessing in real time facisism taking over the city and streets that I grew up on.

    I haven't lived in the city for many years but it's still *very* personal.
