Zoom! Zoom! Zoom!

 

I forgot to mention that on Sunday, when Cecil Markovitch asked if we objected to going to Serbian Fest right after Egypt Fest, Travalon said, "I'll never balk at anything Balkan!"

Today I worked on campus, and Seabird made mochi for FART 5. Yum! Then she, Hardingfele, and I walked along the Lakeshore Path at lunch, and it occurred to me that I was the only one of the three of us born in this country. Even I am quite far from where I was born, in upstate New York. In the evening I had three Zoom meetings in a row: the Shamrock Club, the Rosary Ladies, and Night Prayer. Phew! I am done Zooming for now!

Here are more screenshots from that compilation I made of Travalon's train videos. I tried to paste them in order, but sometimes they didn't paste where I told them to. Still, they are all from one train.

This one is probably my favorite from this train:

These next three are tags I've seen fairly often, and two of them are the same.

Here's some non word art - an orca!

This is an odd tag. At first I thought it was just a rust pattern.

And this is from the train I posted screenshots of last night. I didn't post this one because it's not colorful, but on second thought it's kind of interesting.

There are so many more screenshots to come! Stay tuned!

August Choro Session

 

Today I worked from home, and I couldn't even walk in the usual shady patch at lunch because some construction workers were having a picnic there, so I had to go find a smaller patch of shade. In the evening I went to choro, and it was so much fun tonight because we had three mandolins (or four, when the leader saw we were struggling and put down his guitar to pick up his mandolin and play melody), plus a couple of drummers, another guitar, the club owner on cello, and her employee on bass, and a guy playing piano and flute (not at the same time). It sounded great with so many of us! At eight they said, "One more song," but I had to go because I was leading Night Prayer... and then I got home with plenty of time to spare, so maybe I could have stayed for one more song.

On the social media page for Wisconsin and Southern, I saw someone had posted a video with some colorful graffiti, but he had filmed it at a weird angle so it didn't seem worth making screenshots. Then I saw the guy who makes videos of our neighborhood train had posted one... and it was the same train! His videos always provide very clear screenshots, so here you go:

And here are some more screenshots from Travalon's compilation video:

The infamous Kelsey Visconti makes another appearance:

This is a different train:

And here are some photos he took with his phone today in Mazomanie.

Here's the one I saw on campus right after giving blood!

There are a lot more from his compilation video, but this post is already long enough, so tune in tomorrow for more.
