Just a comment on comments!

Accustomed to a few comments, and seeing none, I realized that in my haste to set up this time, and in a new format, I hadn’t made the proper setting to easily allow them to be posted! All fixed, so feel free to comment without having to sign in.  I love to see them!

The previous  evening while doing a bit of research, I found one of the oddities I am so fond of seeing along the route, in addition to the historic sites, and though I was a bit apprehensive about mentioning it to Clem, I was delighted when he agreed we should go see it!  I had also seen an unusual sculpture as we passed on the way to Strawberry Bank, and it was on the route, so we could see both in the same direction.  The Museum of Dumb Guy Stuff is only open when the two guys decide to hang the open flag, but we decided to take our chances!  Started by a guy who converts  action figures, who found a like minded friend known for "kit bashing" train layouts, and the two started collaborating on projects in the basement, creating dioramas that give context to their creations. Kitbashing, I found out, is taking a model, and building it the way you want to.   On the way, we stopped at the Sculpture I had noticed on the way to dinner, and it marked  the ...

Last Day in Baltimore

The days excursion took us in the opposite direction, with several stops planned, and we set out early and found the elusive purple bus to take us uptown. The friendly driver provided us tips to find the stops, as well as notifying us when we needed to get off after the long ride to the Baltimore Art Museum, located at the Johns Hopkins University.  Greeted by what was a guardhouse to the estate, and then a lovely sculpture garden, we decided to walk through that while it was still cool and overcast.   Titled “Miro” I’m not sure if this sculpture is a replica of a painting, or a tribute to the artist, but it drew me across the garden for a closer look.  Artist: Mother Nature The boxing Hare The Baltimore Museum of Art houses a tremendous collection, including that donated by the independently wealthy Cone Sisters of Baltimore. The sisters knew Gloria Stein, and purchased many of her collected works when she needed money. They also had a close relationship to Henri Matisse...

July 3 Once again we managed a pretty early departure, but spent a long day on the road to our second destination. The trolly tour in FDXB, as it is abbreviated locally, surprisingly runs very limited hours, and try as we may, there was no way to catch the last one of the entire weekend, unless perhaps we were to leave at 4  or 5 AM, and  my traveling partner really balked at that suggestion.   Sometimes now in his later years he reminds me of a situation I witnessed while resting on a park bench on the evening of our arrival. A young woman approached the intersection with her lovely rather large dog. I was admiring the dog,mostly white, with a large half tawny brown head and body patch, shaggy tail, wondering if he was perhaps part husky, when she decided to turn down the side street. the dog stopped dead! she pulled on the long lead, and he just sat there. she pulled harder, and he literally leaned away from her! she eased, he straightened, she pulled, he l...
