New Ebay link

If you are interested in my Ebay sales items, I have added the new Ebay widget at the bottom of the page. There you can see what I have up for auction. I sell old tools mainly, but anything I find that might be sellable is game. Scroll down through everything else to find it.

Another spider

I don't know what kind of spider this one is, but I was captivated watching it build a web. As usual, click on the pic for a larger view.
I took a few more shots of stuff around my sister's house this morning, also.












A few days later , I shot another banana spider.

Santa Fe Depot, Alvin, Texas

September 1, I was dressed up as a railroad engineer participating in my home town's celebration of the 100 year anniversary of our Santa Fe depot.

I displayed some of my railroad wrenches and other railroad antiques. I had fun showing the tools and playing engineer! They wouldn't let me drive the little kiddie train, though!

My wife had just bought me a switchman's lantern three days before and I displayed it proudly.
