Hit hard by the double-whammy of the Pike River coal mine disaster and the global downturn in commodity prices, the Midland Line is carrying a lot less coal than it used to.

 

The first 8 chunky aluminium bathtub 'CW' wagons of this loaded coalie seen in 2011 were bought second-hand from Western Australia in 1996 during happier times when NZ's own Hillside workshops was hammering out the more modern varietals in the middle of the train as quickly as it could.

 

The 20 former bauxite haulers had hungry boards added on top after a few years to raise their coal carrying capacity and were fitted with new bogies, but their braking issues were never really resolved, so they tended to run a small string at the front of loaded trains in their later years.

 

Sidelined for some time now, the CWs were recently cut up, Hillside Workshops has since closed, even that nasty green DXC has been repainted. Soon the 6 tanks of cement powder from Westport will be replaced by imported cement from who knows where. Things never stop changing... and its not often good news. However, that repainted snotbonnet *is* good news.

Even Karl Marx would be amazed at how dispirit retailers are to sell commodities.

DEFINITION:

something of use, advantage, or value.

a quantity of goods

convenience or expediency

an exchangeable unit

 

IF WE DON'T START TO VALUE AND CARE FOR THAT WHICH HAS FREELY BEEN GIVEN TO US.....

THERE WON'T BE ANYTHING LEFT TO BE A COMMODITY

Dredge off the coast of Rodanthe.

He shuffles when he walks and doesn't look very stable sometimes. He's losing weight, but at 14 still manages 5-6 miles of walking a day. I found one of his teeth in our house. He sleeps a lot and more often than ever, by us, or even on us. Murphy dog!

: > ) He still has a nice smile!

"Há um menino, há um moleque, morando sempre no meu coração

Toda vez que o adulto balança ele vem pra me dar a mão

Há um passado no meu presente, o sol bem quente lá no meu quintal

Toda vez que a bruxa me assombra o menino me dá a mão

 

Ele fala de coisas bonitas que eu acredito que não deixarão de existir

Amizade, palavra, respeito, caráter, bondade, alegria e amor

Pois não posso, não devo, não quero viver como toda essa gente insiste em viver

Não posso aceitar sossegado qualquer maldade ser coisa normal

 

Bola de meia, bola de gude, o solidário não quer solidão

Toda vez que a tristeza me alcança o menino me dá a mão

Há um menino, há um moleque morando sempre no meu coração

toda vez que o adulto fraqueja ele vem pra me dar a mão

Há um menino, há um moleque morando sempre no meu coração

Toda vez que o adulto balança ele vem pra me dar a mão

Há um passado, no meu presente, um Sol bem quente lá no meu quintal

Toda vez que a bruxa me assusta o menino me dá a mão

 

Ele fala de coisas bonitas que eu acredito que não deixarão de existir

Amizade, palavra, respeito, caráter, bondade, alegria e amor

Pois não posso, não devo, não quero viver como toda essa gente insiste em viver

E não posso aceitar sossegado qualquer maldade ser coisa normal

 

Bola de Meia, Bola de gude, o solidário não quer solidão

Toda vez que a tristeza me alcança o menino me dá a mão

Há um menino, há um moleque morando sempre no meu coração

toda vez que o adulto fraqueja ele vem pra me dar a mão"

Time is ticking away. Our most precious commodity. Ephesians 5:15-16 KJV See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, (16) Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.</b) P.S. I shot this (out of necessity) with a large aperture (f/2) to get the light, but the moon was a bit indistinct as a result. I composited in a picture of the moon I had taken directly over the existing moon, so the glow is actually from [real] moon but the detail in the moon from another image.

..water! The town of Yeso sprang up beside Yeso Creek. The water wasn't fit for human consumption. I'm guessing this arrow points to clean water fit to drink? I'm not sure. One thing I know for sure is the tree on the left didn't get any water.

China has built more construction of bridges, buildings, railways and other massive projects than seen in history in a short time. Right now, over 25% of the economy is real estate construction, higher rates than when Spain, US or Ireland had before major real estate collapse. The Chinese government says they are heading for 7% growth. The telltale sign is the collapse of the commodity industry worldwide that supplied this ridiculous building binge. Vale, the largest Brazilian metals extractors has lost over 90% of market cap. How long until the backlash hits China and citizens take to the streets...

The staff and volunteers at Wright-Locke Farm used their craftiness to make ristras today, strings of peppers and flowers. Seen here hanging in the greenhouse to dry, they'll be sold at an upcoming farmers market.
