The three staggered photos on the wall tell a familiar story: waiting for a train.

Top left, seven year old gazer posed on the Rock Island Line, followed by train-in-sight and at the bottom-right the Imperial is bearing down on us:

The cowboy was Buster Holt and he was showing us where his horse had bucked-off the edge and into Grand Canyon.

Here is the problem around the Leonardtown and Savannah...Governor Kemp just closed Georgia and required all the restaurants and bars to shutter and folks to eat at home.  Well what are we going to do with a Refer full of Blue Bell Ice Cream - we can't take it back to Texas! ... So we decided to give our neighbors and friends a treat and distribute it to the neighborhoods via the "ICE CREAM MAN" trucks that ply the streets.  The kids are gonna love this!!

Keep healthy everyone - we will get through this

Lew, Great photographs!!  I knew I should know where Falls Creek is, but couldn't place it until I looked it up on Google Maps.  Just outside of DuBois!!!  What is wrong with me that I couldn't remember?????

PS:  DuBois is the French version of my family name!  It means "of the woods or forest"  

Mark, that makes me wonder how Boyce Park got it's name. It sure is woods. But I'm pretty sure Boyce Road (which runs through it) is much older than the park. Huh. Maybe that is how the road was named: road in the woods.

I sure wish that tower could have been saved and re-purposed because of the interesting architecture but like so much stuff it was simply discarded and forgotten once it's original purpose was fulfilled.
