We have so many cicadas from Brood X around our pin oak trees that we had to hire a clean-up crew to get rid of them.

A contractor cutting down BNSF poles pauses at a fence to someone’s backyard. The railroad goes through a rock cut here, and these people have claimed their backyard all the way to the edge. The pole line cut right through the yard. These guys had to remove two poles from the yard, and there was a “Beware of Dog” sign on the fence. After no canine type response, the chainsaw dude went into the yard and worked his magic. A couple minutes later these poles were on the ground, and I swooped in to remove the glass.
A friend and I followed this pair of contractors a lot in the 2000s. They got the contract to remove the pole lines, then sold the poles to locals, if the particular railroad allowed for that. BNSF did not want any of the material, so these guys sold poles, and often found farmers who would allow them to dump the crossarms and metal on their land.
As for the insulators, the guy by the fence told me some time well before this “the more of these G@# damn things you take, the less I have to fuck with.” So we took several thousand over the course of a few years, including this dreary December day nearly 19 years ago. More pics from this day will be posted eventually.
Also of note here is an example of Frisco’s pole numbering. The three horizontal bands represent three tens and the vertical is a five. This was mile 75 pole 35. A half hour later when the 76 mile post pole was cut, the homemade, hand painted 76 mile sign was also liberated. We got as many of these signs as possible as well.

East Midlands Ambulance Service (EMAS) can't cope with the load being put upon it. EMAS has faced criticism for missing some response time targets.
Extract from here: www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-23620394
"A surge in the use of private ambulances has been defended by East Midlands Ambulance Service (EMAS). In 2010/11, 12 emergency journeys were handled by private vehicles but this jumped to 246 in 2012/13, with the cost rising from £638,000 to £3.5m. Bosses at EMAS said private firms had to meet high standards and allowed the service to cope with peaks in demand. But Unison said it was vital that money was invested in the NHS rather than given to outside firms."
So enter the contractors... Amvale Medical Services.
This is is regular sight at the "Ibis Budget" (£38 per night). Amvale accommodate out of area crews here over night. The line up normally includes Paramedic cars also.
Other Ambulance contractors have been keeping costs to a minimum by camping... www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-23592852
A whistleblower said staff were camping because the £35 a day to cover food and board when working away from home was not enough to pay for a hotel room.
Meantime at EMAS headquarters, they have lost a disk containing 42,000 records of ambulance patients:

From my collection of vintage NASA credentials. This badge is an example of those that were issued to NASA employees and contractors who worked at the Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston, Texas during the Apollo era (mid 1960’s to early 1970’s).
Thus far I have been unable to ascertain any information on Priff other than that which is provided on this badge. Priff worked for Lockheed Missiles and Space Company (L.M.S.C). He was born on July 25, 1918. He was 5’ 8” tall and he weighed 175 lbs. He had black hair and brown eyes.
I do know that Priff was one of several hundred thousand individuals that contributed to the American space effort of putting a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth. And that’s pretty special in my book. ;)

River Dargle Flood Defence Scheme.
These images were taken during the first full week of July, 2016.
Adjacent to The People's Park, a large compound is the site of continuing work along this section of the river. Some of the works are nearing completion.
Work here along the riverbank, between Glenwood and The Maltings, involves stabilisation measures (digging out a channel, and dropping in large boulders) intended to reinforce this newly constructed/shaped length of bank.
Access is quite restricted here, and involves shipping material in/out via the entrance further upriver, adjacent to The Slang.

Some of you may have noticed that, unfortunately, owing to the fact that a certain person who sells truck photos on eBay commercially has been lifting my images from this album and selling them I have had to remove 2300 photos that didn't have a watermark. I have now run around 1700 through Lightroom and added a watermark with the intention of bulk uploading them again. Rather than watermark the existing (hidden) files in Flickr one at a time it will be easier to do it this way. I definitely won’t be adding individual tags with the make and model of each vehicle I will just add generic transport tags. Each photo is named after the vehicle and reg in any case. For anyone new to these images there is a chapter and verse explanation below. It is staggering how many times I get asked questions that a quick scan would answer or just as likely I can’t possibly answer – I didn’t take them, but, just to clarify-I do own the copyright- and I do pursue copyright theft.
This is a collection of scanned prints from a collection of photographs taken by the late Jim Taylor A number of years ago I was offered a large number of photographs taken by Jim Taylor, a transport photographer based in Huddersfield. The collection, 30,000 prints, 20,000 negatives – and copyright! – had been offered to me and one of the national transport magazines previously by a friend of Jim's, on behalf of Jim's wife. I initially turned them down, already having over 30,000 of my own prints filed away and taking space up. Several months later the prints were still for sale – at what was, apparently, the going rate. It was a lot of money and I deliberated for quite a while before deciding to buy them. I did however buy them directly from Jim’s wife and she delivered them personally – just to quash the occasional rumour from people who can’t mind their own business. Although some prints were sold elsewhere, particularly the popular big fleet stuff, I should have the negatives, unfortunately they came to me in a random mix, 1200 to a box, without any sort of indexing and as such it would be impossible to match negatives to prints, or, to even find a print of any particular vehicle. I have only ever looked at a handful myself unless I am scanning them. The prints are generally in excellent condition and I initially stored them in a bedroom without ever looking at any of them. In 2006 I built an extension and they had to be well protected from dust and moved a few times. Ultimately my former 6x7 box room office has become their (and my own work’s) permanent home.
I hope to avoid posting images that Jim had not taken his self, however should I inadvertently infringe another photographers copyright, please inform me by email and I will resolve the issue immediately. There are copyright issues with some of the photographs that were sold to me. A Flickr member from Scotland drew my attention to some of his own work amongst the first uploads of Jim’s work. I had a quick look through some of the 30 boxes of prints and decided that for the time being the safest thing for me to do was withdraw the majority of the earlier uploaded scans and deal with the problem – which I did. whilst the vast majority of the prints are Jims, there is a problem defining copyright of some of them, this is something that the seller did not make clear at the time. I am reasonably confident that I have since been successful in identifying Jims own work. His early work consists of many thousands of lustre 6x4 prints which are difficult to scan well, later work is almost entirely 7x5 glossy, much easier to scan. Not all of the prints are pin sharp but I can generally print successfully to A4 from a scan.
You may notice photographs being duplicated in this Album, unfortunately there are multiple copies of many prints (for swapping) and as I have to have a system of archiving and backing up I can only guess - using memory - if I have scanned a print before. The bigger fleets have so many similar vehicles and registration numbers that it is impossible to get it right all of the time. It is easier to scan and process a print than check my files - on three different PC’s - for duplicates. There has not been, nor will there ever be, any intention to knowingly breach anyone else's copyright. I have presented the Jim Taylor collection as exactly that-The Jim Taylor Collection- his work not mine, my own work is quite obviously mine.
Unfortunately, many truck spotters have swapped and traded their work without copyright marking it as theirs. These people never anticipated the ease with which images would be shared online in the future. I would guess that having swapped and traded photos for many years that it is almost impossible to control their future use. Anyone wanting to control the future use of their work would have been well advised to copyright mark their work (as many did) and would be well advised not to post them on photo sharing sites without a watermark as the whole point of these sites is to share the image, it is very easy for those that wish, to lift any image, despite security settings, indeed, Flickr itself, warns you that this is the case. It was this abuse and theft of my material that led me to watermark all of my later uploads. I may yet withdraw non-watermarked photos, I haven’t decided yet. (I did in the end)
To anyone reading the above it will be quite obvious that I can’t provide information regarding specific photos or potential future uploads – I didn’t take them! There are many vehicles that were well known to me as Jim only lived down the road from me (although I didn’t know him), however scanning, titling, tagging and uploading is laborious and time consuming enough, I do however provide a fair amount of information with my own transport (and other) photos. I am aware that there are requests from other Flickr users that are unanswered, I stumble across them months or years after they were posted, this isn’t deliberate. Some weekends one or two “enthusiasts” can add many hundreds of photos as favourites, this pushes requests that are in the comments section ten or twenty pages out of sight and I miss them. I also have notifications switched off, I receive around 50 emails a day through work and I don’t want even more from Flickr. Other requests, like many other things, I just plain forget – no excuses! Uploads of Jim’s photos will be infrequent as it is a boring pastime and I would much rather work on my own output.
Commercial air conditioning "chiller" near Ft Myers Florida. One of the major benefits of a chilled-water applied system is refrigerant containment. When the refrigeration equipment/system is installed in a central location it minimizes the potential for refrigerant leaks, simplifies refrigerant handling practices, and generally speaking makes it easier to contain the leak if one does in fact occur!
HVAC water cooled chillers normally account for the greatest amount of electrical consumption in most institutional and commercial facilities. With that in mind, it makes sense to monitor, assess, and control the operation, settings, and maintenance of HVAC chillers for optimal efficiency!
In early 2021, contractor crews will install these concrete median barriers to physically separate the eastbound and westbound lanes of US 2 between Bickford Avenue and the vicinity of the SR 9 interchange.
