[personal] Punked, dreams, and other thoughts

[jaylake]

The last week or so has been colored by some real challenges on the personal and professional front. Nothing I'm prepared to discuss yet, largely for reasons of others' confidentiality, but also not critical (or medical). Just disappointing and, well, challenging. And annoyingly simultaneous, as sometimes happens in life

Nice caricature.

Sorry to hear about the challenges. I hope you conquer them forthwith!

We need to steampunk-ize one of your aloha shirts - possibly make it over into a fitted vest with pocketwatch, and create matching arm garters and bowtie.

If only I could sew....

This exact question was much discussed at World Steam Expo...

When I think of all the places I went to photograph trains -- and how much more difficult that has become since 9/11 -- I realized that it's one more thing we've lost to paranoia.

Still, back in the day, there were always though engineers who weren't happy to see railfans and would call in the railroad cops. Of course that had more to do with the idiot so-called railfans who rejoiced in walking off with any interesting hardware they could find for their "collections." Especially builder's plates on locomotives. And spikes, sometimes pulled from active track ties...
