Just wanted to show some photos I took right after a storm that came through Albion earlier in the month. It can be hard to get good sunset pictures, but I thought these came out fairly well.
The first was taken from Albion's main railroad crossing, looking down the tracks.

photos: The Old Firepit, with raging inferno, and The New Firepit, with distinct and subtle flame.
This is one of those blog moments where everything is sorta connected to everything else, maybe yet another minor epiphany, but here it goes:

Once upon a time, I was on a C130E familiarization and orientation flight. It's a fancy way to say I tagged long while a crew conducted training flights. Bring a book, they're long flights.

The weather has warmed. It only dropped to 44 F last night. The thermometer saw 81 yesterday and we're told, despite complete cloud cover today, that we'll see 70 today. I believe them. I like their optimism.
This is the zone. It's the temperature period when windows can be opened so fresh air can...
