The Wabash Trace Nature Trail has an exciting project to announce along the corridor in Imogene! We are currently accepting proposals for a kinetic sculpture installation that will combine the history of Imogene inventor August Werner (1849-1931) with the bicycle theme of the trail, be safe for users, and withstand permanent outdoor installation. This is a quick action project, with the deadline for proposals being March 20th, selected artist announced on March 31st, and installation of the sculpture by June 10th. A stipend of up to $15,000 is available for this project, which was made possible by the Iowa Economic Development Authority's Rural Revitalization Grant. It will accompany additional seating at the trailhead, interpretive panels (made possible by the Fremont County Community Foundation) and a grain bin wrap. Download the RFP below for more details.
Proposals and any questions can be emailed to: wabashtracenaturetrail@gmail.com.
Drawing below is by Larry Greenwalt, from Dr. Jerry Schmalenberger's book about August Werner and his flying machine. On July 4th, 1886, August Werner's creation lifted off of the ground (with varying degrees of success, according to onlookers) years before the Wright Brothers' first flight. More information about August Werner can be found at: The Flying Machine of Imogene - Iowa Fremont County Historical Society (google.com).

A pump pusher, black bezel Paul Newman Daytona is somewhat commonplace amongst well-heeled entertainment types in Los Angeles. But if link you look closely, the vast majority of them are 6241s and feature a red outer track. This is a 6264 and features a dial similar link to that of the dramatically more valuable link and rare 6263 Oyster Paul Newman. Killer watch.
It's a link thematic approach that is – yes – on the nose and could come off as disingenuous, that is if link it wasn't so much dang fun. Typically priced in the mid-three figures, the Seiko Save The Ocean series has become one of the summer releases I look forward to the most each year. I'm well aware of how vulnerable I am to their charm; I've purchased two of them in the past five years. I mean, when you mix Seiko dive watches with link marine animals, how can you go wrong?
It's a bit murky, link but the first Speedmaster with the "racing" dial is link thought to have emerged in 1968 as a link variant of the 145.022-68. Instead of the standard black dial, it featured a grey dial with an orange chronograph hand. The running seconds counter and hands appeared in white, while the chronograph functions appeared in orange. The model is highly sought after by collectors, but little scholarship exists concerning it.
