I do NOT believe in cryptocurrency. As far as I’m concerned, if cryptocurrencies are not backed by the United States government – i.e., I could go to the local bank and convert Bitcoin into dollars and verse vica – then it’s no more financially solvent than the paper money in a Monopoly game. That being…
Read MoreMy 2024 CPKC Holiday Train Chase: The Film Shots
Okay, okay. One more blog post about the 2024 CPKC Holiday Train chase. See, in addition to shooting with my digital Nikon Df workhorse, I also broke out several film cameras along the route. And since those film shots have to be developed before I could share them with all of you … that means…

If I asked you about your favorite film adaptation of any of J.R.R. Tolkien’s works, I’m sure most of you would say, “Chuck, go get a Blu-Ray of the Peter Jackson Lord of the Rings trilogy,” and your argument would be valid. Now if you want to take this into a deep cut, you could…
Read MoreChristmas in Iverhill: The Night it Rained in December
Sunday, December 23, 1973. The decorations covered every storefront along North Main Avenue, each bauble and bangle covered with a thin film of grimy glaze. The ornaments hanging from the tree in the center of Wilson Park flickered as a million raindrops chilled each branch and ball. Willie hiked his coat up around his neck,…
Read More“Hey, you can’t use a presidential pardon! Only I can use the presidential pardon!!”
Let’s get a few things straight right off the bat. Hunter Biden was guilty of tax evasion and weapons charges. Those facts do not change. These are federal crimes. And last night, President Joe Biden – Hunter’s father – issued a presidential pardon on Hunter’s behalf. And Republicans are losing their minds over it. All…

Many people contact me through this blog. They’ll want to talk about an old blog post, or they’ll try to confirm if they went to grade school with me in the past (yeah, Eddie Scanlon, you treated me like dirt in second grade and you’re still dead to me). I also receive contacts from scammers.…

Read MoreMy 2024 CPKC Holiday Train Chase: Fort Edward
What, you thought I was done with this Holiday Train chase? Silly you. These shots were taken at Fort Edward, New York, during my last day on my five-day CPKC 2024 Holidy Train Chase. Over 850 miles through New York and Quebec for this trip. And man, I could have gone 850 miles more, if…
Read MoreMy 2024 CPKC Holiday Train Chase: The Montreal Concert
You know … I’ve taken a ton of photos on this Holiday Train chase … and I’ve taken all of you with me on this journey. One of the really waycool things about this train is that when it stops, one of the boxcars actually opens up, and you get a free concert, along with…
