Back when cobra began to go bankrupt in the early 90's, a number of cobra agents and leaders began to hide away assets and supplies all over the world. Cesspool was no exception. His signature creation, "plasmatox" was buried in several locations, but in their haste the barrels and containment units were not properly secured, and now over a decade later pools of the substance have begun to emerge from the ground. Letal and a team have been sent to investigate and recover whatever is left of this horrific substance.
Almost all done picking up falling leaves - HURRAH So far over the past week, I have filled eight 30-gallon yard waste bags. And thanks to the high winds we’ve been having, neighbors down the street I am sure are enjoying their Fall season The temps just dropped into the mid-20s f, so the last of the leaves can wait :-)

After a major winter storm dumped several feet of snow in the Washington Cascades, the iconic Burlington Northern plow that is assigned to the Scenic Sub was brought out to clear the tracks after it was shutdown for over 48 hours due to downed trees, power outages, and trains stalling on the 2.2% grade between Skykomish and Scenic as the heavy "Cascade Cement" caused havoc on the railroads "longshot" planning.

And now the cleanup begins. My office was without power for most of the day, so I worked remotely. Madison’s biggest utility had the most power outages in their history, dozens of roads were blocked and the entire Madison school district was closed. Ours was open but there seemed like fewer kids than usual - plenty of power outages in our city too.
Firewood from fallen trees litters the trackside as NG/G16 129 exits the temporary speed restriction at Landslide beneath sunny autumn skies with a train to Gembrook.
Just outside Tunnel 2 at Plainview, Colorado, a wreck occurred on the Moffat Road in spring of 1972. Because locomotives were involved, wreck outfits from both Denver and Grand Junction were quickly called to the scene. Former D&SL 120-ton derrick 029 and D&RGW Bucyrus-Erie 250-ton “big hook” 028 from Grand Junction (nicknamed “Samson de Grande”) work in unison to lift Rio Grande GP35 No. 3043 back onto the rails. GP7 No. 5101 and a Great Northern boxcar are still left to be rescued on the rocky slope below. The action, of course, takes place on my N scale (1/160 scale) Moffat Road model railroad.
The clean up woman will wipe his blues away
She'll give him plenty lovin' 24 hours a day
The clean up woman, she'll sweep him off his feet
She's the one who'll take him in when you dump him in the street
So take a tip, you better get hip
To the clean up woman 'cause she's tough
I mean, she really cleans up...

Burrowing Owl (Athene cunicularia floridana)
Photography and birding came in to my life together and almost on a whim. Learning about birds, and consequently the habitats they are in, has profoundly changed my life and opened my eyes to the consequences to wildlife of the ever increasing advancement of the human footprint.
This owl was another learning experience for me both in terms of increasing my knowledge of the species and the human/wildlife connection. His burrow is in a highly populated area of Florida, surrounded by houses and busy streets. While observing the owl, much to my horror, one of his neighbors opened the front door and out trots a Golden Retriever roaming free; unleashed. Of course the dog comes right over to where this owl and his family of owlets are. All the babies go scurrying back into the burrow but interestingly the two adults stayed put. Then the dog comes over and checks out my friend and me; sniffs around in the field a little more then finds a nice spot to do his "deed". Once that is done, he trots on back to his house.
I'm not thinking nice things at this point. I was a dog owner and was taught to clean up after my dog; not leave a pile of crap lying around to be stepped in. Plus I'm worried about the dog harming the poor owls.
If you've stuck with me this far, here is where the learning part comes in. This owl is actually thankful to have that dog as his neighbor and thankful that the owner doesn't clean up after it. One of this owl's feeding techniques is to carry dung back to its burrow which then attracts dung beetles that it will eat.
I didn't know what was in the owl's talons at the time I took this shot, but this is a shot of the owl carrying back a nice Golden Retriever dung ball. One wise owl.
our group CMAS used to organize annual cleanup drives to assist clean our environment (including underwater). here are some images of stuffs one can see underwater
