I gasped audibly when I pulled this one off the camera. The last moment of partial eclipse/the moment totality began. #SolarEclipse2024 #Indiana #SolarEclipse

The scammers are at it again today. These texts are popping up on phones all over Indiana. Our phones in @allensuperiorct are blowing up with calls. Lots of useful tips in this post from last month that are worth reviewing and passing along to your friends and family.
Scammers are busy today sending out text messages (like the example below), claiming to be from the @INBMV, about unpaid tickets. We have received numerous calls and messages asking if these are legitimate. These message are bogus and you should not click on the link. (1/3)
A gem from the Fort Wayne Air Show that I missed in the first pass through my pictures. The @AFThunderbirds streak across the afternoon sun. And to think, my college photography prof didn’t think I had potential. 😁 #fortwayneairshow #fortwayne #thunderbirds

For all that’s holy in Luckenbach, Texas, would someone make sure Willy Nelson is OK? No more legends can leave us anytime soon. Please? #ozzyosbourne
On the 66th anniversary of the day he should have commanded the first landing on the Moon, I spent a little time today paying homage to Indiana’s first astronaut. #gusgrissom #apollo11




A few of my favorites from today’s Fort Wayne Air Show performance by the @AFThunderbirds. The sights and sounds were the kind of stuff aviation geeks like me live for. The people who put on this show deserve a thousand thanks. #fortwayneairshow #fortwayne #thunderbirds




The first of what I warn you will be many, many pictures from the Fort Wayne Air Show! #fortwayneairshow #fortwayne

Thanks to @RepStutzman, I had front row seats to this launch. Loved the Shuttle for as long as I could remember. Didn’t take a single photo. Just watched until it was out of sight. Didn’t want to miss a moment of the last ride of an American icon.
The 135th and final space shuttle mission launched #OTD in 2011. Atlantis transported 11,600 pounds of supplies and equipment to the International @Space_Station. At mission's end, STS-135 Commander Chris Ferguson said, “We sure hope that everybody who has ever worked on, or…
One benefit to shooting the same scene year after year? Getting to see things like this: The awe-inspiring transformation of downtown #FortWayne. Top photo is from May 2009; bottom photo is from last week. The architects of this revival should be proud. #downtown

Dear Everybody Else: Our ballpark is prettier than your ballpark. ❤️ A little night-before-the-4th taste of fireworks, a @TinCaps win AND one of the team's biggest crowds ever in attendance. Not bad for a Thursday. #tincaps #parkviewfield #fortwayne

I was sitting in front of a coffee shop this afternoon in Edinburgh, Scotland, and what to my wondering eyes should appear? A lady in an @astros cap walking down the street. We. Are. Everywhere. 😁 #Astros #BuiltForThis
My Tuesday view from a beautiful stone bridge on the Isle of Skye in the Scottish Highlands. Thank goodness I brought a @GoPro on this trip. #goproyoursummer


Paid a #Solstice week visit to @ST0NEHENGE this morning. Been reading about it most of my life. A thrill to see it for myself. #SummerSolstice



The humor on this account makes me laugh so hard. I think I’ll explode. #volcanojokes.
You know I'm a party animal because I'm always topless 😏
Pretty sure the Hugo Drax/Moonraker origin story is writing itself on this platform today.
Ummm...y'all seeing this...
If you receive one of these texts, they're bogus.

That’s a wrap on high school. Please, life, slow down a little. She’s wearing my class ring from the same school (class of a really long time ago) for her walk across the stage this afternoon. #classof2025

Apparently I look “gets the senior discount at Culver’s without even asking” tired today.
On one of the protest nights, a tear gas canister went through a window on the east side of the Courthouse and made quite a mess. It reeked of tear gas in there for days. I still have the spent canister on a bookshelf in my office.
In the following days of protests that took over downtown Fort Wayne, more than 150 people were arrested, 29 of whom were arrested just on the first day. wane.com/top-stories/ma…
