Road Scenes
It appears that jetpack is giving us prompts for stories. That’s just one more thing for me to ignore. My prompts come things I read, listen to, see or hear in real life. It seems that every sort of AI is trying to control us. I had to laugh today while I was listening to…

Brickyard Blues
We are headed to New Orleans. What? Already? No. It’s nothing good. A friend of ours just enter home hospice care. She’s been fighting cancer for four years. She’s so sick that she sleeps about 18 hours a day. When the home health care nurse arrived she couldn’t sit up to be examined. She doesn’t…

Train Time Too
Those of you who have been hanging out with me for a while know that I like trains. I take pictures of trains almost any chance that I get. It is even better when there is a big bridge in the background and I happen to be on the scene during blue hour. I took this as…

About ten minutes before I made that picture, I made this one. A red streetcar rolling along the train tracks near the levee. In case you are wondering about all…

Stuck (Again)
There is a place where Oak Street meets River Road in New Orleans. There is a restaurant called Cowbell right about there that is supposed to make the city’s second best hamburgers. And, they serve pie. But, that’s only part of the story. There is also a train track right of way there that runs…

Brickyard at Night
I think you’ve seen the daylight version of this image. Maybe twice. Once in low sunlight. Once after a storm. But, I’ve never been there at night. Some readers on another forum were asking me where I made this picture. Normally, I’m pretty generous. But, not this time. I thought, “Yeah, right.” Twenty people will…
