Stranger #98 of my Flickr 100 Strangers is Tommy, who works as an Engineer for a local railroad and lives in Old Town Spring where I met him while I was admiring his beautiful Confederate rose bush.
He shared with me that it was a cutting from his mom as were most of his plants... He has a lovely yard with Bottlebrush, Roses, Texas Star, and Confederate Roses along with other neat flowers. He tries to plant things that will attract hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies.
Single currently though he has tried marriage twice and takes pride in his Texas roots (check out his Tin Texas star, Lone Star trim, and his cowboy hat planter on his front steps). He really enjoys his gardening and loves riding his "Harley" motorcycle. Laid back and happy to talk about his lovely garden and gave his mom lots of credit for getting him started. Thanks so much Tommy for taking time to visit with me and share your beautiful garden... and for agreeing to be one of my 100 Strangers on Flickr.

RIVERBANK, California -- The Army turned over 28 undeveloped acres to the city at an Oct. 17 ceremony.
The land was formerly property of the Riverbank Army Ammunition Plant, which closed in 2010 under the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure Act.
Paul Cramer, Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army for Installations, presided over the event and joined Congressman Jeff Denham in speaking at the ceremony.
Riverbank Mayor Richard O’Brien and Brenda Johnson-Turner, Director of Real Estate for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, signed the memorandum of agreement that transferred the land to the city. The agreement formally drops responsibility of the 28 acres from the Presidio of Monterey.
The 333rd Engineer Special Service Regiment served with the US 7th Army and was actively engaged in the Rhine-River crossing and joined in the pursuit of the retreating German Army as far as Leipzig. Several months after the war was over, most of the officers and men who had been original members of the unit were scheduled to return to the United States for discharge in October and November 1945. As a result of this impending loss of so many of its personnel, the regiment was reconstituted with lower point personnel taken from other combat battalions and a mass transfer of men was made in September 1945. The 7th Army was inactivated on 1 April 1946 and was succeeded by the 3rd Army, which moved from Bad Tölz to Heidelberg and took over 7th Army functions. The 333rd Regiment was given an area commission under 3rd Army including all engineer construction activity in Greater Hesse, with the exception of Air Corps installation and the Frankfurt and Wiesbaden enclaves. This mission involved construction of numerous military communities of ground forces installation in Greater Hesse.
The bumper of this Jeep identifies it as belonging to the 333rd Engineers with the 7th Army. However, the serviceman with 333rd lapel pins wears a 3rd Army shoulder patch indicating that the photo was taken after the transfer of the regiment from the 7th to the 3rd Army. The soldier also wears an Official US Army Photographer patch on his lower sleeve along with a Meritorious Unit Commendation Patch.
This was shot on Engineer Pass road near Lake City. The Alpine Loop is a long drive and pretty much takes up a whole day, but it is worth it.
thanks for looking and let me know if you have any questions.

With 90 employees receiving length of service certificates ranging from ten to 45 years it is clearly appropriate as a tribute to them and the thousands of Soldiers and Civilians serving in 39 countries around the world.
The day featured “County Fair” type events for kids of all ages and several teambuilding challenges with the "Future Chiefs" defeating "The Chiefs" seven to three in Ultimate Frisbee.

June is an important month for Army and Americans. Flag Day and the Army’s birthday on June 14 and the reason for Engineer Day, George Washington's appointing the first Army engineers on June 16, 1775.

Amtrak's 40th Anniversary exhibit train made a stop in Jackson, Michigan on October
8 and 9, 2011. Since Jackson is only 36 miles west of my home in Ann Arbor, I made
a visit to the train on October 8 with my flickr contact Dale Chelsea_Dale
A locomotive control stand. However, modern-day locomotives use what are called
desktop controls, located on a desktop in front of the engineer. I have always liked
the looks of this arrangement and don't care for the appearance of the desktop (just
old-fashioned, I guess).

The joint response of the Dutch Relief Alliance, a consortium of 16 Dutch aid organizations, provides life-saving assistance to people facing severe food insecurity in drought-affected Zambia and Zimbabwe.
Most southern Africa countries are likely to receive below normal harvests in 2020, given the poor performance of the 2019/20 rainfall season, characterized by erratic and below normal rains. This is also the outlook for Zambia and Zimbabwe – the impact of the reduced rains is expected to have caused a contraction in the area planted and lowered yield prospects. Heavier rainfall since mid-December 2019 provided some respite and helped to alleviate moisture deficits, but concurrently resulted in localized flooding in parts of both countries with the earth too dry and hard to absorb the rain. In Zambia, the number of people in need of urgent humanitarian assistance will rise from 1.7 million people (May – September 2019), to about 2.3 million people being in a severe food insecure situation.
The Joint Response in Zambia and Zimbabwe targets the most vulnerable households, aiming to improve direct access to food, protect and rebuild livelihoods, which contributes to the structural approach addressing the drought, provide access to clean drinking water and raise awareness on hygiene and nutrition, and screen and treat children below 5 and pregnant and lactating women for malnutrition. The design of the intervention is based on the sectors directly related to the drought situation, in line with the cluster recommendations, based on the expertise of partners and complementarity with other ongoing interventions. Partners work in rural as well as urban areas, depending on the locally identified needs. Throughout the intervention, cluster, SPHERE and CHS standards are followed. After the outbreak of the worldwide Covid-19 pandemic, the project duration was extended until 30 November 2020, and an extra budget was made available to cater to the increasing needs in both Zimbabwe and Zambia.

Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, ALASKA -- Range safety, Sgt. Suzanne Shaw (r), 95th Chemical Company, 2nd Engineer Brigade, of Brooklyn, N.Y., helps Pfc. Kathy Simmons, 56th Engineer Company (Vertical), of St. Helena Island, S.C., get into a comfortable firing position as she prepares to engage the 10-meter targets with the M2 .50 caliber machine gun at the Temporary Machinegun Range, JBER-Richardson, Tuesday, August 14, 2012. Army machine gun marksmanship is based on the concept that Soldiers must be able to effectively apply their firing skills in combat. Teams, consisting of a gunner and assistant gunner, underwent basic non-firing training covering maintenance and immediate action drills and an initial 10-meter live fire grouping/setting course, and weapons qualification.

Got a toot from the engineer on this train rolling into Roselle, IL Metra station after a 23.9 mile trip from Chicago's Union Station. The train is being pulled by a Motive Power MP36 locomotive made in Boise, ID I have not heard too many kind words about these since meeting many Flickr contacts who work on or with them.
