Abandoned cannery next to an abandoned gelatin factory I stopped in before work, yesterday morning. All being prepped for demo - we're fighting to preserve the stack.

VERY long, day today.

Out the door at 4AM to be at Tampa International by 5AM

6AM flight from Tampa to Washington Reagan and cab ride out to Silver Spring Maryland to see:



Then find building 66 on the huge FDA White Oak campus:


Into the lobby and get cleared by security. No cell phones, no recording devices, X-ray my bags and through the metal detector.


A very STRICT 1 hour meeting with Lieutenant Commander Shermer and a few members of the ODE DOD team.
Not one minute longer or shorter, and never allowed to deviate from the pre-agreed agenda.

Cab ride back into downtown Washington DC with my associates. Stuck in the usual DC traffic. The U.S. Department of the Interior on the left and the Washington monument just visible through the trees on the right.


Late lunch at a historic Washington restaurant:


A nice meal after a long morning and early afternoon:


Back in another cab and heading back to Reagan National for a 6PM flight back home, DC to Atlanta, then Atlanta to Tampa.

Rolling past the Washington monument near sunset:


Jefferson Memorial from the cab before we go across the Potomac toward the airport:


Back onboard a Delta Airlines flight and headed toward home.
Home by 11:30 PM / midnight.

Grayslake, IL - midway between Chicago and Milwaukee. The sweet corn and peas cannery dates to 1904, and the gelatin factory came in 1912 originally as a condensed milk cannery. The smokestack came sometime in-between. Gelatin production started there in 1922 and continued for 50 years, it was the village's longest-running factory - closing due to an energy crisis in 1982.

It's been raining since yesterday morning. I went for my bicycle ride as soon as I saw some blue sky.





And now it is raining again.

This factory is where the quality went in before the name went on...

I'm going to leave the Serengeti now, they've got no use for the Maasai cow.



on today's bicycle ride

What kind of cows are these (besides, of course, silly looking)? Ankole-Watusi, maybe?
