Cowboys herd longhorn cattle down the streets of the Fort Worth Stockyard past spectators during the twice-daily catlle drive.
The drive celebrates Fort Worths’ long history with cattle drives. Between 1866 and 1890, drovers trailed more than four million head of cattle through Fort Worth. The city soon became known as “Cowtown.”
When the railroad arrived in 1876, Fort Worth became a major shipping point for livestock, so the city built the Union Stockyards, two and a half miles north of the Tarrant County Courthouse, in 1887.
But the Union Stockyards Company lacked the funds to buy enough cattle to attract local ranchers, so President Mike C. Hurley invited wealthy Boston capitalist Greenleif Simpson to Fort Worth in hopes he would invest. A lucky fluke won the Stockyards an investor.
Simpson arrived and found the pens full of cattle; he decided Fort Worth represented a good market, and made plans to invest. Little did he know, the pens didn’t normally hold that much cattle; he’d simply arrived on the heels of heavy rains and a railroad strike.
On April 27, 1893, Simpson bought the Union Stockyards for $133,333.33 and changed the name to the Fort Worth Stockyards Company.
Simpson invited other investors to join him, including his Boston neighbor, Louville V. Niles, whose primary business was meatpacking. They soon realized that instead of shipping the cattle off to other markets to be processed, they’d be much better off building meat packing plants nearby so they could keep the business in the city. The investors began working to attract major packers to Fort Worth, and by about 1900, they had persuaded both Armour & Co. and Swift & Co. to build plants near the Stockyards.
The Stockyards are now a National Historic District listed on the National Register of Historic Places, as well as major tourist destination with hotels and restaurants along with its historic buildings.
I was wondering what was going on with many people buying this minifig like just now.
Then I saw the Marvel announcement...

Etta's new hot pink raincoat. We are having a La Niña event so she needed a new raincoat. I love this colour!
Going on a charter fishing boat for the day, with my husband, was wonderful... the weather was beautiful and we enjoyed a beautiful sunset on the water....
the boat was full and it seemed like everyone was pulling in fish...
we pulled up a few, but no keepers... just photos and memories!!!
This little Anole lizard was perched on top of this Mountain Mint flower, in the hopes of catching some lunch.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, better known as strong gusts of wind, all this little fellow could do was hold on for dear life and watch as butterflies were landing on nearby flowers just out of reach.
OK, the tall scary, two legged giant may have had something to do with keeping those tasty morsels from coming closer, but hopefully it was only temporary once I decided to move along.

After topping the Continental Divide in central Colorado, this BNSF train makes its way down the Moffat Route toward Denver.
The thin walls of prefabricated concrete at the pedestrian crossing at the west end of Pinhal Novo station were a favorite hangout for the locals. On both sides of the crossing. Just watching the people while the trains keep on moving. Killing time.
Like this freight coming from the Algarve line that threads through the station. Blanting for attention with its French two-tone horn.
The 1900 class was for freight only and are close cousins to the 'Grande Bleues' of the SNCF. The Pielstick engines make quite an enjoyable music, and as far as exhaust silencers are concerned... If there's any, it's not very effective.
So maybe after the freight is gone the man might leave for town having a chat on the way, enjoying a Super Bock at a bar and then back home in time for lunch.
Time is Coming

NS M30 tied down on the passenger main with a SD60E leading, & NS 182 coming into Norris Yard on ags#2 with UP 8412 leading a UP SD70M. 5-6-17
Managed to catch a plane coming in for landing whilst taking doggo for a walk along Lyall Bay Parade. Wellington airport is one of the world’s ‘scariest’ runways at only 1815m long and nearly always battered by strong winds. Only the best pilots a brave enough to land here

We drove into Boston today to pick up my son and his roommate from college. The college has closed indefinitely due to the Coronavirus. The city was so quiet today.

I had a flashback into my youth, when all the SBB trains in second class had these seats in green (non smoker) and red (smoker). The plastic cover was certainly easy to clean, but sitting there in the summer heat was a pain.
On this day the car was used for the shuttle from Olten to Olten Depot.
