My Bob has had a rough week... last Thursday we had to rush him to the emergency vet because he was staining to make.... he was yowling all over the house, staining while he was walking.... the vet said his bladder was full and he had a blockage.... after flushing him out in both areas, we took him home... a few days and he still acted strange... constantly going in and out of the box and nothing... but then he did make and what a relief...
On Monday I took him to our vet and she did a lot of tests, even a urine culture.... thank goodness his levels are not bad and he's acting like his old self.... he is 17 years old!
She put him on an antibiotic for a week and I'm hoping that will also help him feel better.
It's so scary and heartbreaking when you know they don't feel well and they can't tell you what is wrong...
Thank God he is doing better... so we want to wish everyone a Happy Caturday and enjoy the rest of the weekend!!
The afforementioned blockage also had these diverted, so a mad dash at the last minute to relocate sees 37612+610 working the 1Z22, Tyesley LMD-Bristol High level sidings via Weymouth through Brimsladem the 37s would resume their shceduled route from Westbury after rejoining their booked route from that point onwards

The void that lies beneath that is . It is a whole new world down there under the manhole covers , I have peered down thousands and been down hundreds in my surveying days and my short stint as a Dyno-Rod engineer . Some are so small with just a 4 inch pipe just underneath the cover but some are extremely deep with massive pipe sizes - on one job another team come across one line big enough to get a double decker bus along it !! In all cases though , they are never fresh and clean and sometimes a strong stomach is needed - far worse than bodily waste though is when there is a blockage caused by fats !!
Alice rushed into the drawing room, ready to boast about her new shirt, and stopped dead when she saw her family.
Alice: *Stunned* You!? All?
Dad: Hello love, seen a ghost?
Patch: Haha! Close your mouth sis or a bird will nest in there.
Mum: Oh, I see you too bought a Springtime blouse. They were on sale down at the market. But you are wearing yours backwards dear.
Dad: Yes, the buttons should go in the back don't you know.
Alice: It's... it's impossible!
Dad: I know. I had to have help buttoning this thing.
Alice: You ruined my groove!! *She rushed back to her room, crying.*
Dad: What did I say?
Mum: Nothing dear, she's a teenager.
Dad: Ah.
But Patch knew what was up and went after her. She could be a sweet, comforting little sister when she wanted to, and now she wanted to. Also, she knew Alice had sweets in her room...

'Springtime' was sold in a variety of patterns and colours in 1964.
I had looked for at least one of them for ages, when Didier kindly offered to give me the one Alice is wearing, since he had duplicates.
It was like unplugging a blockage. Suddenly I stumbled across more of them and now, a year later, I have all these. Yay!
Landwehrkanal, Berlin, Deutschland.
El Landwehrkanal es un canal de 10 kilómetros de longitud, paralelo al río Spree en Berlín, Alemania, construido entre 1845 y 1850 según los planos de Peter Joseph Lenné. Conecta la parte superior del río, en el Osthafen (puerto situado al este) en Friedrichshain, con su parte inferior en Charlottenburg, fluye a través de Kreuzberg y Tiergarten.
Lenné diseñó un canal con paredes inclinadas, una anchura media de 20 m (66 pies) en la superficie y bloqueos en ambos extremos para controlar la profundidad del agua. En el curso de dos ampliaciones 1883-1890 y 1936-1941 alcanzó una amplitud de 22 m (72 pies) y una profundidad de 2 m (7 pies). Para el 2010 la vía fluvial es utilizada principalmente por embarcaciones turísticas y de recreo. En Kreuzberg una gran parte del Landwehrkanal va acompañada de la línea U1 del Metro de Berlín, que funciona en este segmento como un ferrocarril elevado.
The Landwehrkanal is a 10-kilometer long canal, parallel to the Spree River in Berlin, Germany, built between 1845 and 1850 according to the plans of Peter Joseph Lenné. It connects the upper part of the river, in the Osthafen (port located east) in Friedrichshain, with its lower part in Charlottenburg, it flows through Kreuzberg and Tiergarten.
Lenné designed a canal with sloping walls, an average width of 20 m (66 feet) on the surface and blockages at both ends to control the depth of the water. In the course of two extensions 1883-1890 and 1936-1941 it reached an amplitude of 22 m (72 feet) and a depth of 2 m (7 feet). For 2010 the waterway is mainly used by tourist and recreational boats. In Kreuzberg a large part of the Landwehrkanal is accompanied by the U1 line of the Berlin Metro, which operates in this segment as an elevated railway.
.. of the mega blockage in Coledale Beck which shut the road at Braithwaite. The substance of this effectively ripped loads of trees out and 'log jammed' them into the section of beck just above the village. Note the figure for scale!!
This superb 1971 ERF tractor unit lives locally to me, and by chance I saw it fuelling at the Applegreen Nutbrook petrol station in Ilkeston the other day.
Having stopped to speak with its obliging owner Mike, I was going to photograph the truck leaving the garage. However, that's not how things worked out, as the ERF decided that it wasn't going anywhere and stopped in the position pulling off the pump. With the engine cut-out, it was suspected that the vehicle was suffering with a fuel blockage.
Already running late for an appointment, I had to leave poor Mike with the stubborn lorry. On the upside, the ERF was gone from this location when I again passed by some hours later.

.... This woman's facial expression, pretty much sums up how millions of Americans and Canadians felt, when witnessing the solar eclipse in North America. Toronto was treated to a 70-75% blockage of the sun by the moon, great interest in the eclipse was demonstrated by Torontonians ....
Somewhere in Veiðivötn, Iceland, July 2024
Have you ever experienced something like this?
Getting started with editing my photos from Iceland felt unusually difficult. Normally, I can hardly wait to dive in—often before I even get back home. But not this time. Every time I sat down to sort through the photos, I felt a strange reluctance, almost a sense of repulsion.
I assume it has something to do with my desire to think in larger series—something I’ve been wanting to do for a while. But I’m finding it surprisingly difficult. There are many ways to turn a seemingly loose pile of photos into a coherent set. One approach I find particularly appealing is starting with 2-3 photos that inspire you. You edit them, bring out their character, and then look for others that complement the group. What “complement” means, of course, can be many things.
And that’s where I hit a wall. Nothing worked for weeks.
I was only able to break through when I decided to think in smaller series—not 12, 15 or so, but just 3 photos at a time. That worked. The different sets don’t necessarily fit together graphically, but clearly, I needed to start small.
Still, the intensity and length of the blockage really took me by surprise.
Logjam might be too strong a word to describe the blockage in this small stream. Maybe I should call it a limb jam.
In 1979 the C&NW Boone Sub was 160 miles long extending between Boone, Iowa and Fremont, Nebraska. At its mid point of West Denison, Iowa the operating methods were split with Double Track Rule 251 ATC (Automatic Train Control) to the east and single track CTC signaling and sidings to the west. I believe the C&NW was using the Consolidated Code of Operating Rules back then. Without getting to wordy here, I believe this form was used by the some MOW people as track authority for things such as track patrol and small projects. For more involved work they would obtain a Form Y train order that spelled out their work limits and times they would be on the track. This was prior to todays handling of MOW with them having their own specific authorities such as Track Warrants or Track & Time permits.
Looks like a busy day out here and the parallel Illinois Central line to Omaha must have had a derailment or other blockage as IC detours are listed. I have long since forgotten how I obtained this, but nine years later I would be issuing these same forms while dispatching for the Burlington Northern at Billings, Montana.
The Columbia Gorge Historic Highway is closed by a rock fall in the Rowena curves near Rowena Crest.
The blockage can be seen from Rowena Crest in the shadow of the Columbia River Gorge cliff as the highway winds down the walls of the Gorge.
This closeup was shot in early evening light on May 10.
There is no estimated time for reopening the highway.
Photographers looking to shoot the balsamroot wildflowers at Rowena Crest can reach the Crest from Mosier, but will have to return the same way.
It got a lot higher and more rocky than planned - several circumstances led to that fact and there was a lot of frustration and mental construction - blockage, especially on my side ...
This image was taken at the student protest in Newcastle on the 9th of December 2010, I had just arrived in Newcastle and had literally been there 10 minutes before I started hearing the chanting, I decided to join in and to document the march.

At 1814ft Penhill is a familiar landmark in the Dales,guarding the entrance to Wensleydale. It stands as a ridge commanding the southern side of Wensleydale and the northern side of Coverdale. When I woke this morning I had no idea that I would be climbing it today....the thing is we set off to walk a section of the Dales way from Kettlewell, all was fine until we passed Harrogate and the snow began to fall quite hard soon covering the road,A road blockage at Blubberhouses meant we would need to take the back roads...we didn't get far as we slid to a halt on a small slope we somehow manage to turn round and head back,,,we saw other cars stuck in the snow and a Landrover that had skidded off the road and had taken out a dry stone wall...I pulled up and ran over to the vehicle half expecting to find a body slumped over the wheel...an old fella sat inside shaken up, talking to someone on the phone..he thanked us for stopping, said he was fine and that someone was on the way to help him...What a start to the day....Penhill made a grand second choice
I was in a creative blockage, but it looks like discipline is all when it comes to creating. I still have to quilted, which by the way makes me extremely nervous because that's when I mess up badly. I can only rely on hand quilting. I'll add a link later to a post I'll writing about it.
I hope my partner likes it :)
At speed on the River Stour is the Harwich Harbour Authority's (HHA) 16m, 24-tonne pilot boat Haven Hawk on a fine October morning in 2008.
On 20 June 2007 the boat suffered an engine-room fire while 19 miles south-east of Harwich. The crew of three and one pilot were subsequently winched from the vessel by an RAF rescue helicopter. The Harwich lifeboat also attended the scene and continued boundary cooling initiated by the crew and confirmed the fire was out. The lifeboat subsequently towed the pilot boat back to Harwich.
Detailed investigations found that the port engine turbocharger oil supply pipe was not bracketed and had failed at the connection to the oil filter through fatigue. Oil then sprayed onto the turbocharger causing the fire.
It was also found that the recently inspected, and certified, fixed 45-litre water spray system reservoir had suffered widespread internal preservation detachment causing internal corrosion and the possibility of blockage. Other HHA pilot boats had suffered identical problems as well as complete detachment of the internal siphon tubes rendering the systems inoperable.
There were no injuries to personnel and no pollution.
Oh Mimi...come on...I guess this is one way I am pushed to go up stairs to wash the dishes. Sterling Heights, Michigan. June 26th, 2013.
Explore #142. Thank you all :) (The front page seems no longer be in love with me...)
Very few time for visits and comments these days my friends, I'm sorry... I'm also experiencing some "creative blockage", so expect few pictures from me next days. I hope this will return to normality soon ;)
Please, consider also viewing some of my most interesting shots according to Flickr!
Well we got through last night's storm with no other consequences other than stress. We have now been told by the water company that it is not a blockage but that the drain just didn't cope with all the water. I preferred the thought of a blockage because at least that would mean it could be fixed. We have lived in this house 25 years and it is the first time this has happened so hopefully it will be the last Hey ho I am not going to spend my time constantly worrying about it, but from now on the photographs remain upstairs - oh and we did purchase a fourth cat carrier ...........just in case.
If you look closely you will see Milu in the shadows:-)
Happy Furry Friday everyone.
Wishing you a safe and dry weekend
Om Gum Ganapatayei Namaha. From Thomas Ashley Farrand's book on Healing Mantras. It's a mantra to remove energy blockages.
66065 is seen passing Portobello Jcn with a diverted 4E96 Mossend to Tees Dock on the 12th of August 2020. The intermodal was diverted due to line blockages on the Edinburgh sub due to last nights awful weather.
You’d think starting at Cleanaway the first truck I would get into would be a Superior Pak, but instead I got to drive a Sidepak during the first shift! I still remember feeling excited once the leading hand told me I was being thrown straight into the deep end, and then when he stated “Hornsby Greens” I was stoked, because I knew which truck I was going to be taking out. I had a bit of a slow start with #640 trying to get used to the lifter after years since the last experience, but it didn’t take long... also spilt green-waste all over the road pretty quickly hehe Unfortunately the first day didn’t go as smooth as I hoped, with a frustrating lifter sensor issue giving me the shits and I was also blessed with a blockage, so I was hands-on in the hopper for 20mins before starting the second load.
We had this one down our avenue yesterday. They are flushing out the road drains and sucking up any blockages. DAF seem to make half the maintenance vehicles around and most of the work for them has been outsourced to private companies!
Thalys 4533 from Amsterdam to Paris Gare de Nord, due to a blockage on the high-speed line to Brussels, must travel on the old route.
26 JUne 2019, WIllemsdorp.
The town of Pujili Ecuador is a great little place to shoot some interesting South American architecture. I hadn't planned on spending much time in this town because I was supposed to spend a lot more time at a nearby crater lake at an elevation of about 4000 meters. But I was really struggling to catch my breath at that elevation so I headed to lower ground and that's what brought me to Pujili. In hindsight, I now know the struggle I had at the high elevation was a warning of things to come. A week later I was hit by a heart attack due to severe arterial blockages.
The road to Patriarch Grove in the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest is still closed due to snow. The blockage is at the beginning of the access road, so it's at least a mile walk in, at over 11,000 feet elevation.
WSOR's L243 job pauses at the scene of impassable vegetation on Canadian National's Saukville Subdivision. A windstorm earlier in the day knocked down at least four trees on CN's right of way between Saukville and North Milwaukee. A CN section crew would shortly arrive to make firewood.

The Lowe River flows left to right (to the west) to Valdez.
"On January 24, 2014, a major avalanche occurred just outside Valdez at Mile 16 near Keystone Canyon, prompting the closure of the only highway in or out of town. On January 25, Alaska DOT triggered another massive slide that further choked the roadway. Due to weather conditions at the time, the avalanche dammed the Lowe River, creating a half-mile-long lake that stalled snow removal efforts for nearly a week. The blockage was dubbed the "Damalanche" by local city officials after a name coined by local resident, Joshua Buffington. News of this event spread to media outlets nationwide. Once the water receded, crews worked around the clock to clear about 200,000 cubic yards of snow in five days. No one was injured during this incident." [source: Wikipedia]
me: the doctor gave me meds for my eye.
rabbit: oh what was it?
me: an inflammation.
rabbit: maybe because i licked your eye.
me: nah, just a blockage
rabbit: so it's not me.
me: no,... but I'm a bit disappointed.
rabbit: Yeah, I kinda wanted to be your harm.
me: you will be my destruction rabbit.
rabbit: i think you need it.
nrhp # 66000839- The siege of Yorktown was the last major land battle of the American Revolutionary War. The French and American armies, united at New York City, marched south towards Virginia, deceiving the British into thinking they planned a siege of New York.
Comte de Grasse led the French West Indies fleet to Chesapeake Bay, creating a naval blockage of Yorktown. In September, he defeated a British fleet led by Sir Thomas Graves headed to support Cornwallis at Chesapeake, and prevented reinforcements to Cornwallis via sea. Soon after, Washington and Rochambeau arrived to surround Cornwallis completely.
With the British weakened by bombardment, on 14 October 1781, Washington attacked the British outer defences while a French column and Americans under Alexander Hamilton could move closer and the British deteriorated quickly. On 17 October, Cornwallis surrendered and more than 7,000 British soldiers were captured.

The ability to tap into the energy of clients, and touch on important details from past, enables you to recognise the blockages, usually rooted in environment.
Bixby Creek Bridge, also known as Bixby Canyon Bridge, on the Big Sur coast of California, is one of the most photographed bridges in California due to its aesthetic design, "graceful architecture and magnificent setting". It is a reinforced concrete open-spandrel arch bridge. The bridge is 120 miles (190 km) south of San Francisco and 13 miles (21 km) south of Carmel in Monterey County along State Route 1.
Before the opening of the bridge in 1932, residents of the Big Sur area were virtually cut off during winter due to blockages on the often impassable Old Coast Road, which led 11 miles (18 km) inland. The bridge was built under budget for $199,861 (equivalent to $3.12 million in 2019 dollars) and, at 360 feet (110 m), was the longest concrete arch span in the California State Highway System. When it was completed, it was the highest single-span arch bridge in the world, and it remains one of the tallest.
The land north and south of the bridge was privately owned until 1988 and 2001. A logging company obtained approval to harvest redwood on the former Bixby Ranch to the north in 1986, and in 2000 a developer obtained approval to subdivide the former Brazil Ranch to the south. Local residents and conservationists fought their plans, and both pieces of land were eventually acquired by local and federal government agencies. A $20 million seismic retrofit was completed in 1996, although its 24-foot (7.3 m) width does not meet modern standards requiring bridges to be 32 feet (9.8 m) wide.
Due to roadworks on Arnold Lane, the turn into Chase Farm isn't possible in a bus, so buses were terminating at Newton Road, then running empty up Arnold Lane to use a nearby roundabout to turn around.
In order to not cause a blockage on Shelford Road, buses were waiting any time they had by the roundabout, were there was enough space for traffic to overtake safely, 436 was seen doing such.
Before January 2010 this was a single waterfall, but an earth tremor in the mountains cause the river to be blocked up stream by some large boulders. Once the water behind the blockage built up, it had enough weight to burst the damn and the resulting deluge caused the waterfall to change into two waterfalls. The falls are still called Manto de la Novia, which translates to bride's veil...the name may have to be pluralized. This is east of the Andes town of Banos, heading into Ecuador's Amazon basin.
Taken from the roof of the Southern Region General Offices at Waterloo, 47088 "Samson" is seen leaving London Charing Cross with an empty van train as a Caterham/Tattenham Corner train leaves Waterloo East towards Charing Cross. This was 8 October 1983 and the unusual working of the van train was probably necessitated by a blockage at London Bridge. Another loco (perhaps a class 73) would have taken the train into Charing Cross.
I am in total shock today.... My dog Maggie, my friend, my confidant, the person that made me laugh everyday has died. Maggie just turned 6 in September and we had her from the time she was 4 months old.
Two weeks ago she came down with a bladder or UTI infection. She was put on antibiotics and seemed to recover. She's had a bit less energy but was on the upswing. Yesterday morning when i woke up, Maggie, who sleeps with me rolled over and put her feet up in the air. I was shocked to see that there was major edema to both back legs. She seemed to walk OK though slowly. She ate OK and didn't have any problems using the bathroom. We decided not to take her out on a run but to go for a drive through the blueberry barrens. Sundays and Mondays are my days off and Maggie expects to go out on an adventure. It's our routine. We got out a few times to take photos and Maggie came along and walked short distances. This is her watching my husband taking photos. Had she been feeling better she would have been beside him. When we got home she vomited and she had been drinking more water. I called the vet and left a message. She called back at 10 pm and said to bring her in first thing in the morning. Maggie threw up water in the morning before
i took her to the vet. she weighed in at 82.4 pounds. 2 weeks ago she weighed 73.8 pounds. The vet said she had no fever and though her heart rate was a bit fast it was not out of the normal range. She was running some blood tests and i could call at 1:30. Before i could call I got a message to call her that it was an emergency..........
Dr. Teer told me she had left for lunch and that Maggie was in the big kennel standing and wagging her tail. When she got back from lunch Maggie had died.......... She was flummoxed and will try to find out why Maggie died.......
We are so devastated. This is the last photo for the 52 weeks group though i know that I will be posting more photos of her on flickr that I have been saving. I love this group and hope to continue commenting on your photos.........
**** Update....... for those that haven't heard ........... Maggie died of a bile duct blockage. She had no fever and her heart rate was slightly elevated yet not out of normal range. She was slightly dehydrated from the vomiting, her liver function was a little below normal but her bile function was more than 5 times what it should have been. Even if i had taken her to the emergency vet when i first noticed the edema it is not something that they would have considered to look for...... until she vomited........ and then it was too late. It had nothing to do with diet, apparently it is hereditary.............. Nothing could have been done to save her......... She gave us so much joy and laughter. She was awesome.......
At long last I finally managed to get lineside for a mainline steam run. Admittedly due to a blockage on the A66 I only just made it and had to compromise on my choice of location for this shot.
As can be seen number 9 is seen heading south near Langwathby and regrettably creating very little clag.
The steam train photo ride along the Greenbrier river south from Durbin, West Virginia reminded me so much of the area in southwestern Pennsylvania where I like to call home. Nothing like a natural blockage to create a swimming hole; and I miss wading and play in those cool clear streams while looking for crawfish and salamanders.
EDITED on iPhone with Snapseed. computer quality will not be there!
winter is closing in here in Buffalo, snow is slated to start this weekend in fact. I look forward to Milky Way and night shots with the white on the ground, we get a large amount of snow each year for nearly 6 months. many times, it keeps us in our homes because of driving bans/blockages in the road/wind chill bans/any other crazy winter anomaly. NYS Dept of Transportation has installed train crossing fences at entrances and exits from the Thruway/I-90 that travels through Buffalo and the surrounding towns to keep you off the roads. it's that's crazy here. I was stuck in the city for 7 days last year during the horrible blizzard, well, one of 3 that hit. this year is looking to be worse. Lake Erie resides 3 miles from my house, and within a baseball throw from the city of Buffalo. Lake Effect rain and snow are angry things!
unfortunately the galactic center portion of our Galaxy won't be too visible until spring (have fun all of those in Southern Hemisphere, jealous of Australia), but, the night sky has yet to not amaze me. can't wait!
