With the arrival of Big Boy 4014 to Duluth, LSRM celebrated by putting on a festival of steam featuring the outdoor display of the UP 4014 as well as former NSSR steam stars D&NM 14 and Soo 2719.
And, of course, the D&NE 28, now known as the DM&IR 332, was in action running only a short distance up the north shore.
I was unable to get the 332 and 4014 together, but I was able to enjoy a whistle battle from afar. It may not be a yellowstone, but it was definitely a feel of big (and little) steam in Duluth.

Ganesh Chaturthi (IAST: Gaṇēśa Chaturthī), also known as Vinayaka Chaturthi (Vināyaka Chaturthī) or Vinayaka Chavithi (Vināyaka Chavithī) is a Hindu festival celebrating the birth of Ganesha.[2] A ten-day festival, it starts on the fourth day of Hindu Lunisolar calendar month Bhadrapada, which typically falls in the months of August or September of the Gregorian calendar. The festival is marked with the installation of Ganesha clay idols privately in homes, or publicly on elaborate pandals (temporary stages). Observations include chanting of Vedic hymns and Hindu texts such as Ganapati Upanishad, prayers and vrata (fasting).[2] Offerings and prasadam from the daily prayers, that is distributed from the pandal to the community, include sweets such as modaka believed to be a favorite of the elephant-headed deity.[3][4] The festival ends on the tenth day after start, wherein the idol is carried in a public procession with music and group chanting, then immersed in a nearby body of water such as a river or ocean. In Mumbai alone, around 150,000 statues are immersed annually.[5] thereafter the clay idol dissolves and Ganesha is believed to return to Mount Kailash to Parvati and Shiva.[2][6]
The festival celebrates Lord Ganesha as the God of New Beginnings and the Remover of Obstacles as well as the god of wisdom and intelligence[7][8] and is observed throughout India, especially in the states such as Maharashtra, Madhyapradesh, Karnataka, Goa, Telangana, Gujarat and Chhattisgarh,[2][9] and is usually celebrated privately at home in states such as Tamil Nadu, and Andhra Pradesh.[10] Ganesh Chaturthi is also observed in Nepal and by the Hindu diaspora elsewhere such as in Australia, Canada, Malaysia Trinidad, Suriname, Fiji, Mauritius,[11] United States and in Europe[6][12] (in Tenerife).[13]
Non é que le poña un adxectivo a Dubai, e que realmente este districto chámase Festival City. É onde está o IKEA e algún que outro centro comercial grande así como un parque de atracciones sacado dunha película de terror dos anos 70. Algúns exemplos que sacara da primeira vez:

Diwali or Dipaboli is the Hindu festival of lights celebrated every year in autumn. It spiritually signifies the victory of light over darkness, good over evil, knowledge over ignorance, and hope over despair. Launching of sky lanterns is a recent major attraction in this auspicious day. The boy in this frame is about to launch his sky lantern, although he is anxious about smooth sailing of his possession.

Today was probably the worst day I've had so far since I've been in Nagasaki. We had a short session today at Seido. We had only two classes, and the first one (Elementary 6) was AWFUL. Those kids were bad today. Just bad. They didn't listen, didn't pay attention, didn't say anything in English. Only one girl passed my quiz. Two girls were giving me some attitude. I wanted to smack them. Maybe next time.
The next class we had was 5th grade. They paid attention much better, but there is this one American girl in the class. She just appeared out of nowhere! She wasn't there last time, and oh my god, it is so hard to teach English when one of your students is a native speaker. Apparently she's only been in Japan for a little while, and she seems to be starved for conversation. She would not stop talking to me while I was trying to teach the other girls. The situation is so strange. I feel bad for her because she doesn't speak Japanese, and I feel bad for the other girls because she totally dominated the English lesson, which she doesn't need anyway.
Well, it was weird for everybody, so we got out of there as quickly as we could.
Then we had so much work to do at the office because we had to make this week's videos, which today included making props and figuring out how to use the recorder. Then I had to make cards for tomorrow's classes at Seido and laminate them. Plus, we had to plan English club before the students arrived which meant I couldn't finish the cards before the club. And during all of this Kumi and I worked together to write all of the baseball team members' names in katakana, which is a lot harder than you would think. One name was Olow. I don't know how to pronounce this in English, and we had to write it's Japanese pronunciation. Well, I hope it's right. I get the feeling they will be announcing them at the game using OUR pronunciations. No pressure.
Then, the kids were absolute monkeys at English club. I finally got home at 7:30 (12 hours after I left for work).
I'm beat.
Oyasuminasai.
The Lantern Festival is a Chinese festival celebrated on the fifteenth day of the first month in the lunisolar year in the lunar calendar marking the last day of the lunar New Year celebration. It is usually in February or March in the Gregorian calendar. As early as the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 25), it had become a festival with great significance. During the Lantern Festival, children go out at night to temples carrying paper lanterns and solve riddles on the lanterns
