The Steamer ISAAC SCOTT

—

NOTE: I have included this information regarding the steamboat, Isaac Scott, because Capt. J. G. Bagley who brought the steamer J. C. Stewart down from Wilmington, NC mentioned that he had been the engineer on the Isaac Scott back in 1852. When Capt. Bagley arrived in Hawkinsville, GA in December of 1886, I suppose that he would have passed the twenty-five year old wreckage of the Isaac Scott.

I am also using this posting as an example of how you can use QR Code images to link from a magazine article to a web posting for more info or Flickr for images.  I have a copy of “Retire in Georgia” from Fall/Winter 2008 that listed the various regions of Georgia, including Thomasville.  You could link from that page to this posting for more info and details regarding the trip.

Used the clear mounting squares from Scotch to paste (removable) a QR Code image to the magazine page which linked back to Thomasville, GA photos at Flickr.

This is a new posting.

Here are a couple of links to YouTube videos that were used as examples in a session at the SACS Conference in Atlanta.

I like this Midnight Train to Georgia video for several reasons:  Recorded at the end of a hallway, Sarah, a strong vocalist  (Janis Joplin-escue with Bettie Page hair), multi-cultural collab, with humor… whooo, who!  Sarah could have stomped all over her partner, but didn’t.  This is “why” YouTube was made.  *I listened to several other of the videos posted by “seeso”.  This is another awesome collab with a different partner:

“Your Precious Love“

It is 12:20 pm on Monday and I am basically alone at the SACS Conference.  I’m sitting in the Hilton on the 3rd floor with only one person in sight.

I found a red chair, modern, with a swivel desk that allows me to sit and type on the laptop via WIFI and WordPress.  I took a picture of myself in the chair, which I will add to this posting later.  Heck, if I can find my camera connector, I may do it now.

Okay.  It took me about 10 minutes to take the pictures, upload & modify them and add this pic to the posting.  Fat Man in a Chair.

I sat next to Suzanne in the last meeting and did not even recognize her for about 5 minutes.  YouTube.
