UP 5752 east was not what I had hoped for on this cold and windy morning. The road out and down to Basin is long and remote. one never knows if it will pay off. Lesson learned, short trains don't fill curves. With only 38 loads in tow 5752 finishes the eastward trek through Afton Canyon.

Today was lame. I went on a tour/informational tour of my college i'm attending next fall. I hung with Bash most of the day. I'm hungry and i have a stomach ache, i need more chocolate ice cream. I will watch Fantastic Mr. Fox with undone homework and a new heated blanket. Today...was lame.
Just because their wheels are low to the ground doesn't mean their expectations are...

Great Expectations is one of my favorite books and upon rereading it recently, I was inspired by the very unique character of Miss Havisham. She is a wealthy, mysterious woman who invites the main character Pip to her mansion to play with her daughter. When Pip meets her, she is sitting amongst rotting wedding decorations, including a cake covered in cobwebs and spiders. He later learns that she was stood up before her wedding many years ago. Nothing in the room has moved since, symbolic of Miss Havisham's inability to move on after her heart was broken. This cake shows the transformation of her wedding cake over time, from an elegant white cake to a yellow, moldy, decaying one. Each side has different flavors to further reflect the transformation - on the left is a light lemon and lavender cake and on the right is a dark chocolate and espresso cake.

Participants discuss the responsibilities of membership during a UU101 class at the UU Church of Delaware County in Media, Pennsylvania, a Unitarian Universalist Association "Breakthrough Congregation."
“I find that when you set the bar high and are clear and honest about expectations, people rise to meet and exceed them,” the Rev. Peter Friedrichs says, and this is what is happening at the UU Church of Delaware County right now. “It feels like we are firing on all cylinders,” he adds. “People sense the excitement and energy and want to be a part of it.”

Yay, 2014! I know, this is an old meme...but it just seems right.

I adjusted the image slightly from original.
I didn't have my own image that was good for this, so I searched for creative commons licensed images. A real disappointment all on its own, since flickr has a search that is by any account, horrible. I think this image works well.
I was walking through Royal Troon Golf Course this afternoon when I stopped as two golfers were just about to tee off! There's nothing worse than someone walking by you when you are about to play!
One of the golfers hit what appeared to be a very, very good tee shot and after they both tee off I continued with my walk. When I got close to the green I couldn't help but turn around and give a thumb's up to the player who landed this close to the hole.
When he arrived at the green and realised he was this close I could see and feel the frustration he had ... a few inches from achieving a hole in one!! 👏

Never in my life have I seen so many people awake at 4.30am in the morning. As the masses descend for sunrise at the Angkor Wat, a hush envelopes the complex before a flurry of artificial shutter noises, and for the uneducated, a sporadic flash. Turning my camera towards the crowd, it was days before I realised I caught this shot. It captures exactly how people were feeling, stripping away the romanticism of the main attraction, and adding the reality of dragging yourself out of bed at 4am to share a moment with 5000+ strangers.

My write up on photographing the new Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas here
On the weekend of November 20-21, 2010, I was invited to photograph the new Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas prior to their opening December 15, 2010 in Las Vegas NV.
This set of images represents my efforts that weekend to showcase this newest resort property opening up on the Las Vegas Strip. Thanks to David Scherer from The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas for showing me around, to Miiko Mentz at Katalyst Films for helping to arrange the shoot, and to my wife for modeling for me.

Modern dating in the post Branch Covidian Cult times is largely defined by two key rules - the 666 Rule and the 10 Percent Rule.
Why does it seem that more and more so-called 'single' women have grossly unrealistic expectations of men and appear to apply the '666 Rule' in all their might-lead-to-romance-and-intimacy activities due to the gamification of dating by online dating sites/apps and dating/relationships becoming 'transactional' plus other factors like feminism and narcissistic princess tendencies?
For those who don't know, the 666 Rule is:
- man must be at least 6 ft (180 cm) tall,
- man must have an ultra-fit/toned 6-pack body shape,
- man must have a 6" (150 mm) or larger erect penis,
- man must have at least a 6-figure income.
- man must have traveled overseas at least 6 times and/or to at least 6 different countries.
- man must work less than 6 days a week and be always available at least 6 nights a week for s3x.
You can easily add to this:
- man must have a 6-figure bank balance,
- man must have a house worth at least 6 figures that you own outright (not owing any money to a bank).
etc.
You quickly see which almost every guy cannot meet this ridiculous set of 'standards' and becomes 'invisible' to almost all single women (and non-single women looking to cheat) who by default rate themselves as a '10' almost universally.
-----
Don't also forget the 10 Percent Rule. 8-) See below for explanation...
Online dating is exactly like applying for a job - the ten-percent rule applies... And with the ongoing Covid-19 p(l)andemic it adds another layer into the mix for 'vacci dating' preferences. So here is the modern version of 10 Percent Rule (for just a moment put aside the fact that a vast majority of dating site profiles are fakes):
- guy sends 10000000 introductory messages to 'women'
- 1000000 'women' might actually read them
- 100000 'women' might actually then go and explore the guy's profile
- 10000 are ok with the guy's covid vaccination status
- 1000 'women' might actually write back with a response
- 100 of those responses is positive showing genuine interest
- 10 of those women want to meet up for a date
- 1 date ends up becoming more.
So due to the Covid situation and the massively opposed views for and against the so-called 'vaccine' drugs for Covid-19 aka Sars-Cov-2, a guy has a 1 in 10 million (previously 1 in 1 million pre-covid) of actually finding 'the one'.
Pretty sad situation hey.
If we are 'switched on' to meeting people in real life (is that something that online dating is destroying?), the same basic thing applies.
It really is a 'lottery' with a '1 in 10 million' chance of discovering the 'right person'.
