Not that it matters, but I took this a few days before I retired. Secretary of State Building, State Secondary Complex, near Dimondale, Michigan.

Me, in my office, on my fiftieth birthday in 1999. Things to note: * The computer books, mostly on SQL and MSAccess. I wasn't an IT guy, but my job had geeky tendencies. * Not sure what the critter behind my shoulder was, nor how it got there. Perhaps a birthday joke. * Yes, I had a window office. In fact, I had this specific cubicle twice. * All that paper. My office was always like that. * All those pins in the pinboard. * The Coke bottles. More often they were RC bottles. * The mouse pad, atop a stack of papers and a clipboard, with a photo of Bay Furnace. Bay Furnace is near Christmas in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Really. * The Baseball America Great Ballparks calendar. * The 1999 STATS Minor League Scouting Notebook by John Sickels, on the desktop. John's books, and his email newsletters, were essential background material for my Fans Guide to the Midwest League project. * Schedules for the Michigan Battle Cats and Lansing Lugnuts on the partition in front of the window. Not sure who took the photo, but it was taken with my Nikon N90s. Photo scan by Seattle Filmworks.

This building was Dimondale's post office when I moved to the Lansing area. There've been businesses in the building since the PO moved across the river and around the corner. Nowadays it plays weekend host to small groups of crafters . Photo taken on Valentine's Day in 2019. It was cooler then.

At Michigan's State Secondary [Governmental] Complex, near Dimondale. This is the most obvious remaining segment of the swamp the early white settlers called The Old Maid.
