This couch was in my childhood home as far back as I can remember and I have a very storied history with it. As it is currently in the process of being thrown out, I naturally dragged it onto the lawn to take pictures it with in celebration, in commemoration; what a couch.
As a teenager, this couch was in what was called "the sewing" room -- a room that housed sewing machines, spools of thread, and fabric, among some other disparate items.
Because I was so into psychology and neuroscience and biology and physics and psychoanalysis, as well as the arts & music culture of the 90s that my parents had engaged with, and because the couch was purchased in the 90s,
I ultimately ended up spending a lot of time laying on it at ages 15-17 contemplating the vast immaterial and material energy field of the 90s (and all prior) that had led up to my birth and eventual existence as a teenage girl in the early 2010s and, deconstructed every facet of reality its most microscopic constituents,
just being like, what....in...the...literal......universe...is...ha pp e nn in gng g g ????? (Affectionate, and disaffectionate).
I also liked to pretend I was the subject of 19th/early 20th psychoanalysis on this couch -- that armrest really cradled my lizard brain.
There's so much more I could say about this couch but I think that's enough of my weird for one day.
CN would give us a treat with the power staying on the entire journey down. The lashup would be very good with the leader being Ex- Citirail 1212 now CN 3967 and a EMDX SD70AH-T4 in sporting the Progress Rail Yellow Scheme. I would have trouble catching the train this morning and barely made it to Rockport where it would be shoving in its train as seen here. Was glad to catch this B241 which is loaded Potash from Chicago, IL to here in Tampa, FL
2nd of the full C Class locos at HVTR, Pinjarra is C1701 receiving a bit of TLC.
The C Class was a small class of 3 locos built at the English Electric Works, Rocklea, Brisbane in Queensland in 1962.
C1701 is Works No. A-056.
UK enthusiasts would probably describe them as an overpowered Class 20 with an additional stubby hood at the cab end.
In comparison to the Class 20's they definitely were more powerful, having an English Electric 12SVT mark 2 1,535hp (1,140 kW) engine.
These Co-Co locos weighed 90 tons and are capable of 60 mph (96km/h).
They had a max tractive effort of 45,500 lbf (202.4 kN).
Built for WAGR as comparison locos to Clyde Engineering's A Class, EE missed out and more A Class were ordered (25 in total).
They were used for freights everywhere through the narrow gauge lines and even passenger workings between Perth and Bunbury and out to Kalgoorlie.
Their final workings were passenger commuter trains in Perth. This role ended when replaced by new P Class locos in 1990/1991.
Electrification killed off loco hauled commuter trains within a couple of years as the A Class 1992 EMUs took over.
All withdrawn by March 1992, they are all preserved at HVTR at Pinjarra.
C1702 and C1703 were active though the 1990s to early 2010s, with C1701 often used as a parts donor.
But all 3 are now stored as too expensive to overhaul.

On February 7, 2013, the refreshed 2014 Tundra was introduced at the Chicago Auto Show. The redesign featured a larger grille, more enhanced fenders front and rear, a redesigned tailgate and tail lights, as well as a completely redesigned interior. The only sheet-metal carried over from the previous model was the cab and the doors. The hood line was raised and the tailgate includes a spoiler. The interior featured a standard 3.5-inch information screen, Bluetooth connectivity, and back up camera. The interior included new seats, new gauges, new controls, updated ergonomics, and a redesigned dashboard with improved materials and metal-look surfaces. Toyota kept the same engines used since the MY 2010 update: a 4.0L V6, a 4.6L V8, and a 5.7L V8. However, the 4.0L V6 saw a 34 hp (25 kW) increase in power, and was rated at 270 hp (201 kW) and 278 lb⋅ft (377 N⋅m) of torque.
Toyota retuned the suspension with new damping rates to improve the ride quality over the previous models. The steering rack was re-valved to improve the steering feel. The Tundra lineup included a new premium luxury model called the 1794. The 2014 Tundra was available in five trim levels, the SR, SR5, Limited, Platinum, and 1794. For the 2014 model year, Toyota discontinued the regular cab Tundra with the 6.5 ft (2.0 m) box, but other configurations remained the same.

Morgan Aeromax (2008-09) Engine 4799cc V8 BMW N62
Production 1 + 103
Registration Number VX 59 ERU (Worcester)
MORGAN SET
www.flickr.com/photos/45676495@N05/sets/72157623797607694...
The Morgan Aero was introduced in 2001 as the companies first entirely new design since 1948, and differs from all earlier models in having an aluminum chassis and frame as opposed to traditional ash frame.
When introduced the car was powered by a 4.4 litre BMW V8 engine, mated to a six speed Gertag transmission. Uprated in 2008 to a BMW N62 4.8 litre V8 with an optional automatic transmission.
The design was critised in the press for its rather cross eyed appearance, which Morgan claimed was for aerodynamic reasons. But from 2007 the front has been redesigned using Mini rather than VW New Beetle headlights
The AeroMax was first shown at the 2005 Geneva Motorshow as a bespoke car built for a well respected Morgan customer Prince Eric Sturdza of Banque Baring Sturdza in Geneva, A developement of the Morgan Aero chassis it is said that the full name is that of Charles Morgans son Max Due to the interest shown at Geneva and with the blessing of Prince Sturdza a limited production run of 100 in celebration of Morgan’s centenary was agreed, the final production running three over due to replacements for crashed cars. Production took place 2008-09, this car being the last of the batch has been retained by and road registered 2010 by Morgan. The design is the work of Matt Humphries then a 21 year old Coventry University Graduate working at the factory
It was the first Morgan to have a retail price above £100,000 at £110,000 but sold out within a few months. Owners have included Richard Hammond, Rowan Atkinson and Paul O'Grady

PEMBLETON SET
www.flickr.com/photos/45676495@N05/sets/72157630438512270...
The Pembleton is a single donor (Citroën 2CV) kit car designed and marketed by Phil Gregory, based in Kidderminster, and can have either three or four wheels. The original trike was designed, built and on the road in three weeks. It looks rather like a Morgan trike from the 1920s and 30s but does not attempt to be a replica. Every car is personalised by the builder and no two cars are exactly the same. A Pembleton is constructed on a space frame chassis unlike a Lomax or Burton which use the original Citroën 2CV chassis. The gearbox, steering, brakes, front suspension, half or all of the rear suspension, wiring loom, electrical parts and lots of other parts come from a Citroën 2CV donor. The front suspension geometry is modified to improve the roadholding of the vehicle. The engine can be from a 2CV but people have installed BMW and Moto Guzzi engines for more performance and appearance. All of the body is hand made out of aluminium either using precut panels or cut from sheet from patterns. This includes flooring, bulkheads and front wings. There are no compound curves apart from the nose cowl which is copper, made from the top of a domestic hot water tank. Seats are made to fold forward to give access to the boot area. he car either has to be built from scratch with a suitable donor and a chassis kit, or as a turn key car.

Former Sinclair Gas Station located at Old Hwy. 54 near Hwy. 17 in Eugene,MO. The property has been vacant since its most recent occupant (an auto repair shop) closed in the early 2010s.
Note one of the gas pumps was set at 97c per gallon which indicates that the sale of gasoline had likely stopped by the late 1990s.
The DS 5 was introduced as a Citroën in 2011. In 2015 Citroën made DS a separate brand. Since then the 5 has the DS logo and lost the "double chevron" on the front. The DS 5 was built until 2018.
Aston Martin DB11 V8 Volante (2017-on) Engine 3982cc Mercedes-Benz M177 Twin Turbo V8 503bhp

ASTON MARTIN SET
www.flickr.com/photos/45676495@N05/sets/72157623759800132...
Designed by Miles Nurnburger (exterior) and Matt Hill (interior) under chief designer Marek Reichman the DB 11 debuted at the 2016 Geneva Motorshow as a replacement for the DB9. The new design features new roof strakes that separate the body from the roof, available in black or body colour, and the "Aeroblade" intakes in the front strakes. The bonnet is a 'clam-shell' design made from a single piece of aluminium. The DB11 does not use the older Aston Martin VH platform but makes use of an all-new riveted and adhesive-bonded aluminium platform with more cockpit space. Production officially started on 28 September 2016.
At launch the only available engine was an all-new 5,204 cc twin turbocharged V12, called the AE31 of 600bhp.making it the first turbocharged series-production Aston Martin. The car is equipped with a rear-mounted 8-speed automatic transmission manufactured by ZF Friedrichshafen.
The DB11 V8 joined the lineup in early 2017, powered by a 4.0-litre Mercedes-Benz M177 twin-turbocharged V8 engine of 503bhp, developed by Mercedes-AMG, offering a weight saving of 254lbs over the V12.
The V12 was superceeded in May 2018 by the even more potent DB11 AMR, with 630bhp rom its 5.2-litre AE31 twin-turbocharged V12 engine. Other unique features include a more aggressive exhaust note in Sport & Sport+ mode, black roof, dark interior trim and new 3.5 kg lighter, 20-inch forged alloy wheels. It is believed that this was brought about by the V8 performing better than expected narrowing the gap between the two models, which has been redressed by this more powerful variant.

Liverpool (/ˈlɪvərpuːl/) is a city in Merseyside, England. A borough from 1207 and a city from 1880, in 2014 the city local government district had a population of 470,537[2] and the Liverpool/Birkenhead metropolitan area had a population of 2,241,000.[2]
Liverpool is in the south west of the historic county of Lancashire in North West England, on the eastern side of the Mersey Estuary. The town historically lay within the ancient Lancashire division of West Derby known as a "hundred".[5][6]
The urbanisation and expansion of the city were largely brought about by its advantageous location during the industrial revolution status that led to its growth as a major port, which included its participation in the Atlantic slave trade. Liverpool was the port of registry of the ocean liner RMS Titanic, and many other Cunard and White Star ocean liners such as the RMS Lusitania, Queen Mary, and Olympic. Liverpool's status as a port city has contributed to its diverse population, which, historically, was drawn from a wide range of peoples, cultures, and religions, particularly those from Ireland. The city is also home to the oldest Black African community in the country and the oldest Chinese community in Europe.
Natives of Liverpool are referred to as Liverpudlians (from a long-standing jocular alteration of 'Liverpool' to 'Liverpuddle') and colloquially as "Scousers", a reference to "scouse", a form of stew. The word "Scouse" has also become synonymous with the Liverpool accent and dialect.[7]
Tourism forms a significant part of the city's modern economy. The city celebrated its 800th anniversary in 2007, and it held the European Capital of Culture title together with Stavanger, Norway, in 2008.[8] Labelled the "World Capital City of Pop" by Guinness World Records, the popularity of The Beatles, and other groups from the Merseybeat era and later, contributes to Liverpool's status as a tourist destination.
Several areas of Liverpool city centre were granted World Heritage Site status by UNESCOin 2004. The Liverpool Maritime Mercantile Cityincludes the Pier Head, Albert Dock, and William Brown Street.[9] Liverpool is also the home of two Premier League football clubs, Liverpool and Everton. Matches between the two are known as the Merseyside derby. The world-famous Grand National also takes places annually at Aintree Racecourse on the outskirts of the city.
Early history
King John's letters patent of 1207 announced the foundation of the borough of Liverpool, but by the middle of the 16th century the population was still only around 500. The original street plan of Liverpool is said to have been designed by King John near the same time it was granted a royal charter, making it a borough. The original seven streets were laid out in an H shape: Bank Street (now Water Street), Castle Street, Chapel Street, Dale Street, Juggler Street (now High Street), Moor Street (now Tithebarn Street) and Whiteacre Street (now Old Hall Street).
In the 17th century there was slow progress in trade and population growth. Battles for the town were waged during the English Civil War, including an eighteen-day siege in 1644. In 1699 Liverpool was made a parish by Act of Parliament, that same year its first slave ship, Liverpool Merchant, set sail for Africa. As trade from the West Indies surpassed that of Ireland and Europe, and as the River Dee silted up, Liverpool began to grow. The first commercial wet dock was built in Liverpool in 1715.[10][11]Substantial profits from the slave trade helped the town to prosper and rapidly grow, although several prominent local men, including William Rathbone, William Roscoe and Edward Rushton, were at the forefront of the abolitionist movement.
In the early 19th century Liverpool played a major role in the Antarctic sealing industry, in recognition of which Liverpool Beach in the South Shetland Islands is named after the city.[12]
By the start of the 19th century, a large volume of trade was passing through Liverpool, and the construction of major buildings reflected this wealth. In 1830, Liverpool and Manchesterbecame the first cities to have an intercity rail link, through the Liverpool and Manchester Railway. The population continued to rise rapidly, especially during the 1840s when Irishmigrants began arriving by the hundreds of thousands as a result of the Great Famine. By 1851, approximately 25% of the city's population was Irish-born. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Liverpool was drawing immigrants from across Europe. This is evident from the diverse array of religious buildings located across the city, many of which are still in use today. The Deutsche Kirche Liverpool, Greek Orthodox Church of St Nicholas, Gustav Adolf Church and Princes Road Synagoguewere all established in the 1800s to serve Liverpool's growing German, Greek, Nordic and Jewish communities respectively. One of Liverpool's oldest surviving churches, St. Peter's Roman Catholic Church, served the Polish community in its final years as a place of worship.
Given the crucial place of both cotton and slavery in the city's economy, during the American Civil War Liverpool was, in the words of historian Sven Beckert, "the most pro-Confederate place in the world outside the Confederacy itself."

20th century
The Housing Act 1919 resulted in mass council housing building across Liverpool during the 1920s and 1930s. Thousands of families were rehoused from the inner-city to new suburban housing estates, based on the pretext that this would improve their standard of living, though this is largely subjective. A large number of private homes were also built during this era. The process continued after the Second World War, with many more new housing estates being built in suburban areas, while some of the older inner city areas were also redeveloped for new homes. The Great Depression of the early 1930s saw unemployment in the city peak at around 30%.
During the Second World War there were 80 air-raids on Merseyside, killing 2,500 people and causing damage to almost half the homes in the metropolitan area. Significant rebuilding followed the war, including massive housing estates and the Seaforth Dock, the largest dock project in Britain. Much of the immediate reconstruction of the city centre has been deeply unpopular, and was as flawed as much town planning renewal in the 1950s and 1960s – the portions of the city's heritage that survived German bombing could not withstand the efforts of urban renewal. Since 1952 Liverpool has been twinned with Cologne, Germany, a city which also experienced severe aerial bombing during the war.
Like most British cities and industrialised towns, Liverpool became home to a significant number of Commonwealth immigrants after World War II, mostly settling in older inner city areas such as Toxteth. However, a significant West Indian black community had existed in the city as long ago as the first two decades of the 20th century.
In the 1960s Liverpool was the centre of the "Merseybeat" sound which became synonymous with The Beatles and fellow Liverpudlian rock bands.
From the mid-1970s onwards Liverpool's docks and traditional manufacturing industries went into sharp decline. The advent of containerisation meant that the city's docks became largely obsolete. By the early 1980s unemployment rates in Liverpool were once again among the highest in the UK,[14] standing at 17% by January 1982 – although this was just over half of the level of unemployment that was affecting the city in an economic downturn 50 years previously.[15]
In recent years, Liverpool's economy has recovered and has experienced growth rates higher than the national average since the mid-nineties.
21st Century
To celebrate the Golden Jubilee of Elizabeth IIin 2002, the conservation charity Plantlifeorganised a competition to choose county flowers; the sea-holly was Liverpool's final choice.
Capitalising on the popularity of 1960s rock groups, such as The Beatles, as well as the city's world-class art galleries, museums and landmarks, tourism has also become a significant factor in Liverpool's economy.
In 2004, property developer Grosvenor started the Paradise Project, a £920 m development centred on Paradise Street, which involved the most significant changes to Liverpool's city centre since the post-war reconstruction. Renamed 'Liverpool ONE', the centre opened in May 2008.
In 2007, the city celebrated the 800th anniversary of the foundation of the borough of Liverpool, for which a number of events were planned. Liverpool is a joint European Capital of Culture for 2008. The main celebrations, in September 2008, included La Princesse, a large mechanical spider which is 20 metres high and weighs 37 tonnes, and represents the "eight legs" of Liverpool: honour, history, music, the Mersey, the ports, governance, sunshine and culture. La Princesse roamed the streets of the city during the festivities, and concluded by entering the Queensway Tunnel.
Spearheaded by the multi-billion-poundLiverpool ONE development, regeneration has continued on an unprecedented scale through to the start of the early 2010s in Liverpool. Some of the most significant regeneration projects to have taken place in the city include new buildings in the Commercial District, the King's Dock area, the Mann Island area, the Lime Street Gateway, the Baltic Triangle area, the RopeWalks area and the Edge Lane Gateway. All projects could however soon be eclipsed by the Liverpool Waters scheme which if built will cost in the region of £5.5billion and be one of the largest megaprojects in the UK's history. Liverpool Waters is a mixed use development which will contain one of Europe's largest skyscraper clusters. The project received outline planning permission in 2012, despite fierce opposition from the likes of UNESCO who claim it will have a damaging effect on Liverpool's World Heritage status.
On 9 June 2014, Prime Minister David Cameronlaunched the International Festival for Businessin Liverpool, the world's largest business event in 2014,[16] and the largest in the UK since the Festival of Britain in 1951.[17]
Second city of Empire
For periods during the 19th century the wealth of Liverpool exceeded that of London itself,[18]and Liverpool's Custom House was the single largest contributor to the British Exchequer.[19]Liverpool's status can be judged from the fact that it was the only British city ever to have its own Whitehall office.[20]
The first United States consul anywhere in the world, James Maury, was appointed to Liverpool in 1790, and remained in office for 39 years.
As early as 1851 the city was described as "the New York of Europe"[21] and its buildings, constructed on a heroic, even megalomaniacal, scale stand witness to the supreme confidence and ambition of the city at the turn of the 20th century.[22][editorializing]
Liverpool was also the site of the UK's first provincial airport, operating from 1930, and was the first UK airport to be renamed after an individual – John Lennon.[23]
Elgar's Pomp and Circumstance March No.1, often seen as Britain's Imperial anthem, was dedicated by the composer to the Liverpool Orchestral Society and had its premiere in the city in October 1901.
During the Second World War, the critical strategic importance of Liverpool was recognised by both Hitler and Churchill, with the city suffering a blitz second only to London's,[24] and the pivotal Battle of the Atlantic being planned, fought and won from Liverpool.[25]
