My very first acquisition over thirty years ago for my very small collection of prints.    After sitting in a closet for some time, my nephew had it framed as a surprise birthday gift.

I'm Back. Yet again.

I'll be doing some house cleaning for a bit as I fix or remove any links that have broken since I was here last, then I'm removing the nontransportation posts from On The Nightstand and moving them here, as On The Nightstand will henceforth will be dedicated solely to books (although any transportation books I read will be mentioned on SERVISIDE as well).

After that I’ll start posting here again.

And I need to get this done before I have pizza with Jesse on Friday.
