Passing Through

• This morning I deleted the name and passwords for 4 of my old, very old, Posterous accounts. :Posterous was an early blogging platform which was acquired by Twitter in 2012. They shut down on April 30, 2013. I think my last activity on the Posterous was Spring of 2010. It certainly was tiime to delete those old login names and passwords.

• Some of the original Posterous team spun off and created the Posthaven blog platform (this Posthaven). I've have had a Posthaven account for a good long time as well.

• “As of May 2013, Posterous founders were developing a similar but paid service called Posthaven. Posthaven pledged that they would never be acquired and were not looking for any investors.”  From Wikipedia; retrieved on April 12, 2025 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posterous). 

After 6 weeks of painting it's done. Finally. The entire house was sanded, received a coat of primer, and received two coats of paint. And all done by brush, no spray painting. Whew!

We are now into the 4th week of painting our house. Today's task is applying a second coat of primer on all wood trim. Color on the siding could come in the next day or two. If not then, next week. They still have to do the prep work on the dormers and garage.

This intrepid crew closed out the 75th Anniversary Open House of the Highland Park Society of Model Railroad Engineers, Inc. Hundreds of model railroaders, friends, spouses, and the curious were in awe over the weekend after viewing one of the larger, better-known model railroad layouts in the greater Los Angeles area.

Founded April 1, 1948 in Highland Park, a suburb of Los Angeles, the club formed after their layout above Al’s Hobby Shop was abandoned when Al’s closed down. A small group of avid model railroaders decided they would puhase their own building to house their next model layout to insure they would be in control of their own destiny. That was 75 years ago and the club is still going strong.
