Promises, promises
Sep. 26th, 2011 08:13 pmI promised photos of the railway museum last week. They are loaded (finally) and can be seen starting with this one:

That's an old Chicago Surface Lines street trolley from before WW2. Click on this image to go to the set on Flickr, and proceed with "newer" photos to see the whole group. When you get to the photo below, you've reached the next event.
And that's the Boone County Pioneer Festival in Spencer Park:

That's a photo taken in one of the restored cabins in the park. The re-enactor is making butter by shaking cream up in a preserving jar (yes, that works, but it takes about 20 minutes.) She then proceeded to bake rusks on the woodstove. Click on this image to go to the set of photos, and proceed with the "newer" photos to see the whole group.
I apologize that things seem to be in no particular order. The Flickr uploader sometimes does that to me and I haven't figured out any way to resequence them.
Gloomy, cold, rainy, windy day here. Looks like more of the same for the next week or so. There's been a major geomagnetic storm today, with radio disrupted etc. If you have clear skies anywhere in North America, you might want to check for aurora to the north around midnight or so.
