......at least that is what I had promised my grandchildren when we went to see them at SF's famous Pier 39, usually a huge tourist attraction. This is what we found, they were all gone, no one had a good explanation for it, but I heard that some may have returned!
Oh my! You all make me feel like one of my heroes, I'm in awe that I have 800 people who have chosen to follow me. Thank you all so much!

Passed my 3-month soberversary last week.
EDIT: It's been up half a day, and ... I just now realized it's a picture of a revolving door. Ohhh - symbolism (?!)
I sure hope not.

La camera di Marherita Occhiena, mamma di San Giovanni Bosco , nella frazione dei Becchi , sul Colle Don Bosco.
Ella gli ha insegnato a vivere, a essere prete, ad educare i suoi ragazzi, tutto questo mentre camminavano insieme in campagna.
Quando don Bosco ando' a Torino e iniziò a raccogliere ragazzi sbandati nell'oratorio di Valdocco, chiese il suo aiuto ed ella lasciò il suo paese nel Monferrato per aiutarlo, . Questo sino alla morte, anche se era spesso esausta, sopraggiunta all'età di 68 anni per una polmonite. Fu sepolta al cimitero monumentale di Torino , nel 1856.
Allo scadere della concessione della tomba le sue ossa furono buttate in una fossa comune, come si faceva con tutti i poveri

Thank you all to those who have fave'd, commented and followed my photos!! I'm blown away by the kind comments I have received over the past few months!!! I'm truly humbled! Thank you!!
Ohio Rail Experience's Lima Limited excursion from Springfield to Lima, OH ran pretty much like clockwork during their final weekend in October. Sadly, weather conditions for 3/4 of it were uncooperative, bringing rain and wind to strip the peaking foliage around Central Ohio away. Regardless, with a morning free on Saturday, I headed up to Springfield to intercept the special with CRR 800 at the helm for the Northbound leg. Here, the 800 departs Snyder Park in Springfield, OH right on schedule on a very damp morning.
Built by English Electric in 1956/57, the 10 members of the South Australian Railways 800 class, later inherited by Australian National, gave 35 years of faithful service, mainly on shunt and trip working within the Adelaide metropolitan area.
On the very last revenue run of the class, on Saturday 7 December 1991, 801 was seen at Osborne sidings (Port Adelaide) with empty coke hoppers from the local soda ash works. 801 survived for a period afterwards as a workshops shunter at Islington and then subsequently found a new home at the National Railway Museum in Port Adelaide.

That’s a lot of people.
I haven’t the time, energy, or creativity to do anything extravagant, but I thought I’d at least host a bit of a Q&A, cause I haven’t before and that’s a thing people do. Heh.
Also if you’re reading this, and you’re a follower of The Allo, I want to graciously thank you. It’s been a wonderful ride so far, and it will hopefully continue to be until I inevitably quit and vanish.
But until then, question away!

Zion National Park is an American national park located in southwestern Utah near the city of Springdale. A prominent feature of the 229-square-mile (590 km2) park is Zion Canyon, which is 15 miles (24 km) long and up to 2,640 ft (800 m) deep. The canyon walls are reddish and tan-colored Navajo Sandstone eroded by the North Fork of the Virgin River. The lowest point in the park is 3,666 ft (1,117 m) at Coalpits Wash and the highest peak is 8,726 ft (2,660 m) at Horse Ranch Mountain. Located at the junction of the Colorado Plateau, Great Basin, and Mojave Desert regions, the park has a unique geography and a variety of life zones that allow for unusual plant and animal diversity. Numerous plant species as well as 289 species of birds, 75 mammals (including 19 species of bat), and 32 reptiles inhabit the park's four life zones: desert, riparian, woodland, and coniferous forest. Zion National Park includes mountains, canyons, buttes, mesas, monoliths, rivers, slot canyons, and natural arches. Human habitation of the area started about 8,000 years ago with small family groups of Native Americans, one of which was the semi-nomadic Basketmaker Anasazi (c. 300). Subsequently, the Virgin Anasazi culture (c. 500) and the Parowan Fremont group developed as the Basketmakers settled in permanent communities. Both groups moved away by 1300 and were replaced by the Parrusits and several other Southern Paiute subtribes. Mormons came into the area in 1858 and settled there in the early 1860s. In 1909, President William Howard Taft named the area Mukuntuweap National Monument in order to protect the canyon. In 1918, the acting director of the newly created National Park Service, Horace Albright, drafted a proposal to enlarge the existing monument and change the park's name to Zion National Monument, Zion being a term used by the Mormons. According to historian Hal Rothman: "The name change played to a prevalent bias of the time. Many believed that Spanish and Indian names would deter visitors who, if they could not pronounce the name of a place, might not bother to visit it. The new name, Zion, had greater appeal to an ethnocentric audience." On November 20, 1919, Congress redesignated the monument as Zion National Park, and the act was signed by President Woodrow Wilson. The Kolob section was proclaimed a separate Zion National Monument in 1937, but was incorporated into the national park in 1956. The geology of the Zion and Kolob canyons area includes nine formations that together represent 150 million years of mostly Mesozoic-aged sedimentation. At various periods in that time warm, shallow seas, streams, ponds and lakes, vast deserts, and dry near-shore environments covered the area. Uplift associated with the creation of the Colorado Plateau lifted the region 10,000 feet (3,000 m) starting 13 million years ago. The park is located in southwestern Utah in Washington, Iron and Kane counties. Geomorphically, it is located on the Markagunt and Kolob plateaus, at the intersection of three North American geographic provinces: the Colorado Plateau, the Great Basin, and the Mojave Desert. The northern part of the park is known as the Kolob Canyons section and is accessible from Interstate 15, exit 40. The 8,726-foot (2,660 m) summit of Horse Ranch Mountain is the highest point in the park; the lowest point is the 3,666-foot (1,117 m) elevation of Coal Pits Wash, creating a relief of about 5,100 feet (1,600 m). Streams in the area take rectangular paths because they follow jointing planes in the rocks. The stream gradient of the Virgin River, whose North Fork flows through Zion Canyon in the park, ranges from 50 to 80 feet per mile (9.5 to 15.2 m/km) (0.9–1.5%)—one of the steepest stream gradients in North America. The road into Zion Canyon is 6 miles (9.7 km) long, ending at the Temple of Sinawava, which is named for the coyote god of the Paiute Indians. The canyon becomes more narrow near the Temple and a hiking trail continues to the mouth of The Narrows, a gorge only 20 feet (6 m) wide and up to 2,000 feet (610 m) tall. The Zion Canyon road is served by a free shuttle bus from early April to late October and by private vehicles the other months of the year. Other roads in Zion are open to private vehicles year-round. The east side of the park is served by Zion-Mount Carmel Highway (SR-9), which passes through the Zion–Mount Carmel Tunnel and ends at Mount Carmel. On the east side of the park, notable park features include Checkerboard Mesa and the East Temple. The Kolob Terrace area, northwest of Zion Canyon, features a slot canyon called The Subway, and a panoramic view of the entire area from Lava Point. The Kolob Canyons section, further to the northwest near Cedar City, features one of the world's longest natural arches, Kolob Arch. Other notable geographic features of the park include the Virgin River Narrows, Emerald Pools, Angels Landing, The Great White Throne, and Court of the Patriarchs. Spring weather is unpredictable, with stormy, wet days being common, mixed with occasional warm, sunny weather. Precipitation is normally heaviest in March. Spring wildflowers bloom from April through June, peaking in May. Fall days are usually clear and mild; nights are often cool. Summer days are hot (95 to 110 °F; 35 to 43 °C), but overnight lows are usually comfortable (65 to 70 °F; 18 to 21 °C). Afternoon thunderstorms are common from mid-July through mid-September. Storms may produce waterfalls as well as flash floods. Autumn tree-color displays begin in September in the high country; in Zion Canyon, autumn colors usually peak in late October. Winter in Zion Canyon is fairly mild. Winter storms bring rain or light snow to Zion Canyon and heavier snow to the higher elevations. Clear days may become quite warm, reaching 60 °F (16 °C); nights are often 20 to 40 °F (−7 to 4 °C). Winter storms can last several days and make roads icy. Zion roads are plowed, except the Kolob Terrace Road which is closed when covered with snow. Winter driving conditions last from November through March.
