This lantana in my garden started out slowly, but is now flourishing and drawing visitors, like this black swallowtail. These butterflies rarely stop fluttering, which makes photography tricky.
On my way to work I spotted this view. I didn't buy any fuel, but I did get some nuts at the convenience store (not shown) behind me.
Yesterday we arrived at the Ira Spring trailhead at around 8 AM, found the parking lot full and a few dozen cars parked along the road. Not wanting to hike with a horde, we turned around and left. Over 20 cars passed us on the four mile drive back to the freeway. Who knew that 7/4 was such a popular hiking day!
So we fell back on the hike to the fuel truck. Saw no one all day. The fuel truck is getting so rusty even the graffiti is rusting off.
Happy Truck Thursday!
Sometimes I think I should take up drinking coffee. I wonder if it really helps.

The arctic community on Igloolik island has seen settlement in one form or other, reaching back more than four thousand years. For all but the recent past century its inhabitants lived a nomadic existence, gathering what was needed from the surrounding land and sea.
In modern times, the current population set at roughly 1800, relies entirely on fossil fuel imported annually from the south for all of its energy. Fresh food and the other basic necessities of life are flown in daily. Igloolik is not unique in this regard.
While it is the arctic that sees the greatest impact of climate change, its inhabitants, the fastest growing population in Canada, has the highest carbon footprint, despite having the most to lose by a continued dependance on fossil fuel.

EMDX 7208 and CP 7008 share the fuel rack with CP 6223 at Nahant Yard. The EMD/CP pair brought in 473 from Bensenville and would go back out later in the evening on 472.

ÖBB 1293 072 running near Črnotiče with an A-1 Jet fuel tank train coming from the port of Koper and heading to Austria. At the rear, hidden by vegetation, 1216 147 pushes the train.
A CS fuel tanker truck for FebRovery 2022 installment 3. In my personal schematic for minifig suit colours, yellow astronauts are engineering and logistics, so either way this works.

ILM's Alpena glides into the Waterfront Petroleum Terminal on the Detroit River while the tug Candace Elise waits their turn to take on fuel.
At its Palaestra building in London SE1, Transport for London exhibits the building's hydrogen fuel cell power generators next to the entrance. The £2.4m combined heat and power plant will generate cost savings of £90,000 annually. The six flatscreens run an animation explaining the building's CO2 reducing measures but one wonders if the message wouldn't have been more effective if it was shown on posters instead of burning some of the kWh saved on powering the flatscreens. Press release
The Chevrolet Volt is a plug-in series hybrid vehicle to be produced by General Motors, expected to be launched as a 2011 model with production currently slated to begin in 2010. The Volt's propulsion system will be based on GM's new E-Flex platform.
Unlike current commercially available hybrids, the actual propulsion of the Volt is accomplished by the electric motor, as the internal combustion engine (ICE) is not mechanically connected to the wheels. With fully charged batteries, this electric power may be sourced exclusively from its onboard lithium-ion batteries, for up to 40 miles (64 km), a distance capable of satisfying the daily commute of 75% of Americans, which averages around 33 miles (53 km).
After 40 miles (64 km), the range of the Volt will need to be extended through the use of a small 4-cylinder ICE which drives a 53 kW generator. The electrical power from the generator is then sent to either the electric motor or the batteries, depending on the state of charge (SOC) of the battery pack and the power demanded at the wheels. The distribution is controlled by the electronic control unit (ECU) of the vehicle. This effectively extends the Volt's potential range to as much as 640 miles (1,030 km) on a single tank of fuel (which could be potentially extended for longer trips through conventional refueling).
The Volt's 16 kWh lithium-ion battery pack can also be fully charged (technically ~85% SOC) by plugging the car into a 120-240VAC residential electrical outlet using the provided SAE J1772 compliant charging cord. No external charging station will be required.

He's almost in full breeding plumage, which means it's about time for him to fly. Happy Migration, American Goldfinch...I'll miss you!

As noted in the prior scan, 130 and 129 had a split fuel tank, one for fuel and one for boiler water. This shows the difference with sister 159, which has the standard 1/2 fuel tank and the other half as added weight that included a tool box, spare knuckles and chains. Ah, the sound of that Nathan P5...
