Random Collection of Pictures May 2025

One of my favorite new things to do - explore the random pictures I save to share here. For the month of May there are more article clippings than in the previous posts.

From the year 1955, a sentence about moving houses to make way for the creation of  Webster Lake.

A dark cloud overhead on campus. Will be nice to wear short sleeve shirts again!

We went to nearby Dunlap to see if there was any water flowing at the Cagle waterfall - very little was streaming.

The Chattanooga area is blessed with cool sculptures. This one is at a city park near the Tennessee River.

Probably something I will never see, Teter Rock, a human made monolith used in the past as a guide for travelers but now as an off-road adventure to check-off for many. Located in the Flint Hills of Greenwood County.

Railfan me. I think this is just a stunning picture of a train in the Nebraska sandhill region. A promotional picture for a YouTube video about the train moving through this part of Nebraska.

I found this blurb fascinating about US Highway 72 which begins/ends nearby me in Chattanooga. It begins in Tennessee, goes through Alabama (Huntsville) and then through Mississippi, and returns to Tennessee to end/begin in Memphis. This is my go-to route to travel to Memphis and avoiding the Interstate (Nashville). It is a four-lane highway for the entire trip.

Not aware that US Highway 83 is still a Canada to Mexico highway and is called a road to nowhere. Looking at it on a map - it does avoid a lot of big cities. Been on it a few times (Oberlin, Oakley, Garden City, North Platte, McCook, Valentine, Pierre). 

Random Collection of Pictures April 2025

 Finally completing the month of April 2025 with some random pictures. 

Finally completed the reorganization of the office / storage area by putting this new storage shelves together. Really pleased with the increased office space and the tidiness of the storage space.

Presented a workshop at the Tennessee Library Association annual conference on Data Storytelling.

I had an added ribbon to my conference credentials -- official smarty pants LOL

The awesome library department team acting normal ha ha

The pink moon on April 13 streaming through the bedroom window

Past presidents of the Tennessee PTA who attended the Tennessee PTA annual meeting

April was Poetry Month - my display of poetry books for the library.

On my wish list to drive through some day in addition to seeing Lake Scott State Park (and the nearby Monument Rocks). Kansas Highway 95 cuts through the Ogallala Formation south of Lake Scott. The Ogallala is a massive layer of sand and gravel. In many places the Ogallala is unconsolidated, but in this area it is cemented into solid rock.
