I'm posing a few pictures, rescued on a floppy disk. Long story. I'll explain tomorrow.

A couple items from Wikimedia Commons, to tide you over until my computer problems are resolved.

Patience

I'm having computer problems. Not sure when they'll be resolved.
In the meantime, I'm taking plenty of good pictures. I just can't post them yet.

First English Lutheran Church, Old South End

That window's perfect. I just hope the current tenants appreciate it. Not sure, though, since there's a for sale sign in front of it.
Thanks to Shari for the scanned pictures.

I'm on Facebook. Feel free to check in. There's a button in the sidebar.

The Corbutt Island Vultures

Uncooperative buggers. They were turning cartwheels at 100 ft over the back yard. By the time I got the camera they were heading home.

Leave the Rocks Alone

THIS has been getting a lot of coverage, lately. A local "historian", in Portsmouth, took it upon himself to remove a large rock, formerly used as a navigation marker, from the Ohio River. He didn't bother noticing the fact that it was listed on state register of antiquities in Kentucky. Consequently, he's facing an indictment on a felony charge.
Now, there are a lot of issues involved in the case, but as far as I'm concerned, they're peripheral. I frankly don't care about the boundary dispute, or the authenticity of the carvings, or even about what happens to the blasted thing.
To me, the whole case boils down to one point. The man stole something that was registered as an antiquity. He's a looter and a nice long prison sentence would accomplish something we've needed for years. It would send a message all the two-bit amateur historians, armchair archaeologists, and Saturday afternoon metal detector enthusiasts that our antiquities preservation laws will be enforced.
Then, perhaps, the next step could be to expand those laws to something approaching the sort everyone else in the civilized world has.

Four of Toledo's greatest buildings.

FYI

I haven't given up, I've just felt like crap, and not up to much blogging.

Late Breaking News

According to The Express, the HMS Ontario, which sank during the Revolution, has been found on the floor of Lake Ontario.

UPDATE: The TELEGRAPH even has a decent picture.

On Broadway

I had to sit on a park bench, on my way back from Mass on Sunday, until I stopped huffing and puffing. Ended up thinking about how many trees are in the neighborhood.
