I've been a skilled machinist, retail salesman, technologist, supervisor, customer service lead, artist, photographer, promoter, mentor, and city councilor. But really I'm just a guy on a bike with a camera, living the life I want to future to bring.

I wrote this many years ago after viewing comments on social media lamenting another victim of violence. They were the usual mix of "hope and prayers" and more than one mentioned they'd "see you again on the other side" or how they were now "in a better place" and so on. You know the routine.

The Wood Family Fishing Bridge and the Train Sculpture designed by Siah Armajani as part of Beloit 2000's riverfront revitalization project.
I know I have photos of this plaque—a gift from the Grutzner family—unveiled in 2014, but damned if I can find them, so I took a few new ones on Sunday.

The eagles on 17 are staying at the nest. Let's hope they have better success this year than last. (They don't seem to be particularly good housekeepers compared to the Decorah eagles.)

Becky and I made a thing. It'll be on display at the Beloit Art Center during March's annual juried photo exhibition. This is what it looked like before we moved it to the gallery. It'll be on display for the next couple of weeks or more.

Eagle at 17 - in the trees by the pond just north of 10th and Olympian. I didn't see the mate on the nest, which means there's no egg yet, though it could be too low in the nest for me to see from the sidewalk on Hackett.

Plans for a roundabout at White Avenue (Hwy81) and Milwaukee Road in Beloit. This will get built in 2028.
"...there have been 27 injury accidents at the intersection between 2017 and 2021, indicating a traffic safety issue that needs to be addressed."
