Today is graduation day at the United States Coast Guard Academy in New London, CT, so the place has been hopping. From increased security around President Bush’s visit to the commenecement ceremonies, to quite a few more boats in the Thames River just above the Gold Star Bridge. Of course, […]

Didn’t have much time for a walk today, because I had to head over to New London to ship out the Sigma 2x teleconverter I’m returning (not happy with the performance of it with my shooting style – see this post for more info). But I did end up catching […]
Well, with the bright sunshine and warmer temps, the walk was a bit more pleasurable than last week’s gloomy & rainy weather. Also, with the bright sunshine I was able to put my new Sigma 2x EX APO DG teleconverter through it’s paces. At the end of my short shooting […]
You must be asking yourself, what the hell is the Fair Hope & Northern Railroad? Well, I can tell you that it does exist, but only in HO form. The Fair Hope & Northern is the creation of a friend of mine, Steve Rodgers (lead singer, guitarist & songwriter for […]
Well, I was in an all-day meeting/workshop today, so I had to forego my walk alltogether. Oh, well, I guess I can miss one day here & there. I’ve got an active weekend planned, so I’m sure I’ll make up for it. But after work, I figured I’d head to […]

Well, the weather geeks got it wrong again today – at least partially. When I left the house this morning, they said it would be nice for most of the day, then cloud up later in the day. That would work for me – I’ll take my walk and grab […]
I got a letter in the mail today from the Mystic Valley Railway Society. I’ve been entering their annual calendar contest for a few years now, and have had pretty good luck. I’ve had photos chosen for both the 2005 and 2007 calendars previously. Well, here in today’s mail was […]
