Kile Duggan in 'Bulldozer.' Duggan, a mediocre driver in a poor handling machine, gained a bad reputation when he first burst on the scene due to his perceived aggressive style. The truth was much simpler- the 'Dozer' was a beast to drive, essentially a Kataspyder G75 Bulldozer with a pair of rockets and wings tacked on. It was big, bulky, tough to drive, and dangerous. As such, it came as little surprise when Duggan was banned from IATTAR for two seasons after crushing Graz Grazillani's spine during the Rowaran Cross City Trek.
Looking for the next race, Duggan turned to the highly dangerous Outer World races. Racing in the Outer Worlds was a precarious affair. OWTTER (Outer World Track & Thrust Extreme Racing), a league created to rival the wildly popular IATTAR league, was doomed from the start, primarily due to lack of financial support, but also in large part to the fact neither drivers nor racers lasted long. The allowed weapons and special modifications that separated OWTTER from IATTAR cost it many of the best and bravest drivers, and the poorer Outer World racing teams couldn't continue to rebuild the expensive racers.
The short-lived league was therefore replaced by an ever deadlier handful of races with little to no rules. Drivers, called Outers (an homage to the now defunct league), were often only able to race in the one race each season on their homeworld in shoddy home-built machines. It was into this world that Kile Duggan found himself- a racer with more skills and money than most, and one helluva tough machine. A truly nice guy, he added only the G75's front blade to the 'Bulldozer' which he used as a ramming device. He quickly began winning races and became an Outer World celebrity. After serving his suspension, he returned to IATTAR, now a better driver with a lot better control of his unwieldy craft, and did quite well, and was well-respected by the other drivers. When he retired, he wrote a successful autobiography of his time as an "Outer" called, 'Inside on the Outside.'

and you said that the answer would be found on the way home.
just follow the flow and enjoy the calm....
Tks !
Queen Elizabeth National Park is famous for its "tree-climbing lions". According to our guide, Harriet, the same lions will cross into other neighbouring national parks, such as the Virunga NP in DRC, just across the Ishasha River, where they don't climb trees, while lions that come into the park from areas where they don't climb trees will climb trees here.
The trees they like are large fig trees which give good grip and have many wide shallowly sloping branches. These lions were 3 metres or more up the trees. There were at least 6 lions in this tree, although there are only 3 in this shot.
Close-up of a Allis-Chalmers bulldozer being shipped by flatcar. You have to wonder where this dozer was going and if it's is still in service somewhere. The EL shipped just about everything by freight. I saw some interesting items over the years.
There's that line again from the faulty focal plane shutter in my old Exacta SLR.

The latest addition to the Trollblood warband. The character warbeast Dozer and Smigg from Privateer Press
I bought Erin a skeleton for X-mas; his name is Dozer. He is 5'6, 30 pounds, No eyes and a great smile.
I have wonderful news!!! Dozer is going to be adopted by my neighbors. The other family backed out. When my neighbors called I told them another family was in the process of deciding about the adoption. As soon as I got the word that the first family had changed their mind, I called Kim. She was excited. So...tonight I brought Dozer to meet Kim, her husband, their two girls and their dog Jesse. Dozer was so beautifully behaved (of course) and they fell in love with him. Jesse liked him too. The official adoption will take place at our adoption event at the South Park Mall on Saturday morning. I am so happy for Dozer and quite happy for me too, as he will grow up just down the street from me. He will have the nicest "Mom and Dad", a fenced-in yard, a girl dog "sister" and a couple of adorable human "sisters" too. My foster boy has a great future ahead of him.
I'm going away for the weekend on Friday, so I won't be there to witness the actual adoptions. I hope Bella and Downey are as fortunate as Dozer. Say a prayer for them. I'll find out about their new families on Monday. I'll also have a chance to comment on all your great photos I've been missing.
This is Dozer. He's available for adoption at the Humane Society of Utah (HSU) where black dogs are only $37.50 to adopt (half off the regular adoption fee**).

**Black dogs at the Humane Society of Utah are always half price.
Why?
Black dogs have a harder time finding homes than light- or multi-colored dogs.
Black dogs and cats make up almost 75% of the "pull list" -- that is, adoptable animals who are euthanized due to lack of space and time in adoption

It's always a bit worrying when Mr Fox and Mrs PB lie in - It makes you wonder what trouble they've been up to!
As they gently dossed, and in a brief interlude between bouts of sleep shouting, they did look rather cute this morning!
Stags at Wollaton Park Nottingham. These were lone stags, either male outcasts or resting after the rut.
Wollaton Hall is an Elizabethan country house of the 1580s standing on a small but prominent hill in Wollaton Park, Nottingham, England. The house is now Nottingham Natural History Museum, with Nottingham Industrial Museum in the out-buildings. The surrounding parkland has a herd of deer, and is regularly used for large-scale outdoor events such as rock concerts, sporting events and festivals.
Wollaton is a classic prodigy house, "the architectural sensation of its age", though its builder was not a leading courtier and its construction stretched the resources he mainly obtained from coalmining; the original family home was at the bottom of the hill. Though much re-modelled inside, the "startlingly bold" exterior remains largely intact.

Bull Dozer possibly Ex us military. I think i have seen a film with similar dozers making air fields in Koriea?
Its days bulldozing look to be in the past as this early (pre 63) Track Marshall 55 crawler finally calls it a day.
The blade appears to have been transferred to a new recruit, whilst the remains lie in wait for the scrapman or as a source of spares.
Like so many other British engineering industries, Marshalls of Gainsborough are no more.
Perkins 4270 engines usually powered these crawlers, no doubt this one is probably a little tired by the looks of the oily residue.

Santa Clara Fire Department responded to a 4 alarm fire in Reed Street, March 2010.
The fire was burning in piles of electronic waste being accumulated for recycling. This is the 3rd fire in these premises in the last two years.
These fire fighters received a crash course in operating these front end loaders from City workers. Then they donned their breathing apparatus and went in to move piles of refuge around. What is that saying about the size of a man's toys?
