Fighting Falcons over Cincinnati
This morning, two F-16 Fighting Falcons of the Ohio Air National Guard’s 180th “Stingers” Fighter Wing flew over Cincinnati area hospitals in a salute to frontline workers during the ongoing pandemic. Based out of Toledo, the unit has been performing overhead passes across the state as part of regularly scheduled training missions. Staff of The Christ Hospital in Uptown donned masks and went to the roof as the jets roared by before continuing north.
Photographs of a Parking Garage - May 3, 2020
I hadn’t planned on a post for today, but as I pulled into the parking garage—I caught the tail end of On Being on NPR.
Fort Wayne
After a quick pass through of Fort Wayne in 2018, I wrote: “[this trip has been] another reminder that, despite all the times I've been to Fort Wayne in my life, I need to make a better effort to spend more time exploring that city. It's a great place in the Midwest.”
July - October 2019

The Revolving Restaurant of Covington
In 2009, archaeologists believed they had uncovered evidence of the first revolving restaurant. If their research was correct, Emperor Nero had one in his Palatine Hill Palace around 54-68 AD—quite awhile before the idea of spinning dining rooms spread across the United States (and Cincinnati) in the mid-20th Century.
Florida and the 'Majesty of the Seas'
According to Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd., the Majesty of the Seas is a Sovereign-class cruise ship. According to Star Trek canon, the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-E) is a Sovereign-class starship in service to the United Federation of Planets. While Captain Picard's vessel is unlikely to take you to Cuba, Captain Daniel's will.
The Long Lines - Part 1
In an article by 99% Invisible’s Kurt Kohlstedt, the author refers to ‘Long Lines’ towers as “Vintage Skynet.” While I very much appreciate the ‘Terminator’ reference, the towers’ purpose was (probably) less sinister, even with their military and technological implications.
