PLYMOUTH NC: On Jefferson St. at Water St.
Ah, this Nissan 350 ZX brings back memories, er, at least a painful nightmare. I owned a beautiful, new 300 ZX colored in mid-life crisis red that I loaned to my to my son to take to his girlfriend's to show off a bit.
Well, long story short, within an hour he totaled it. Yup, just couldn't believe it; he wrapped it around an oak tree that mysteriously jumped out from the edge of a country road.
My Red Z was my baby. I merely wanted to show my son that finally earned he had my trust. Big mistake.
After leaving him I drove to the yard where the towing company left the car. On the way I prayed the car wasn't totaled. Then . . . then . . . I got there. I checked out the car and prayed the car was totaled.
It was.
Ah, the mistakes of parenting. ;-)

The friction between the young and old exists for ages. The joint family concept had the elders putting the flame off now and then. The younger generation of these days had to meekly submit to the advice of the elders and worked themselves up to success.
This kind of generation gap happens more when the children grow up and the son gets married. Nowadays the parenting concept accepts only parents and not the grandparents. The competitive world makes the parents concentrate more on their children who have to mould their career and settle in life rather than spend time for their old parents who are becoming more and more dependent on their children as they grow older.
The old parents being alive are considered to be a burden. The son is more enthusiastic about giving the best to his children and wants them to compete with their peers. He does not want to lose control over them and certainly feels that there should be a set pattern in bringing up his children.
Has the new generation gap, which is emerging now, taken a turn to disregard the elders? Or should the older persons step down and adjust to the new developments?

Ride it and you will know what it feels like.
Royal Enfield Bullet, a 23 year old bike which dad gave to me a month back and it is pride to ride it.
I'm taking plenty of gouache stuff with me.....this sort of family craziness is great for painting. 8" x 6" gouache/my old show invitations.
While Amtrak's California Zephyr works the Truckee station stop, UP 5293 West (Z-NPOA) holds at Bridge Street for the "Big Hole" to clear. Today's Z train with a 4x1 configuration, they will waste no time getting over the last bit of Donner Pass, despite the snow storm that will impede traffic on the Interstate.

Week 36
According to Wikipedia, generations, or social generations, "are cohorts of people who were born in the same date range and share similar cultural experiences." In the Western World, probably the oldest known social generation with a name was the Lost Generation describing those who were born between 1883 and 1900 who lived through World War I. The most famous generation of our time is probably the Baby Boomers Generation, which spans 1946 up to 1964 describing those who were born during the baby boom years after World War II. After the Baby Boomers, generation names become a little lame as they go by X, Y, and Z as in Generation X, Generation Y, and Generation Z (lol... I feel really bad for those who would be born after Generation Z because there are no more letters of the alphabets left).
Generation Z is the current generation and is the generation that Evelyn is born into. Like I said, I think this name is lame and I don't like it. I think a better name for Evelyn's generation and those who are being born around this time should be called the "Smart Generation;" the word "smart" here stands for smart devices like in smart phones, smart tablets, etc... Evelyn is going to grow up not knowing what a rotary phone is; she's not going to know what a land line is; and she's not going to know why a "ringtone" is so named when most phones don't even ring. The only reason that she's going to know that a computer has a keyboard and a monitor is because she's going to see her daddy's old dinosaur. ;)
Evelyn's been exposed to smart devices at such a young age that they are going to be second nature to her. These devices would probably impact Evelyn's generation more than any other generations before her. At only 8 months old, Evelyn already knows to swipe her fingers at an iPad to move the images, and she's already posted her first Facebook message using her mommy's iPhone. Evelyn's generation should be called the Smart (Devices) Generation.
A pair of young, millennials watch with great curiosity as the crew of Great Western Locomotive #90 performs some switching moves at Groff's Grove on the Pennsylvania's Strasburg Rail Road in November of 2011. Although this photo was captured just before smart phones and other personal electronics became pervasive in our society, the two young women pictured here had still likely grown up amidst a sea of technology and a quality of life that was never even envisioned by the generation that built the big decapod back in 1924. As ancient as this massive machine may seem to them, the truth is that this was the technology that made possible all that we have today. Steam locomotives were the first machines built by humans that could move, at will, under their own power. They greatly expanded the ability of humans to travel, and they facilitated the industrial revolution that brought us all of the technology we have today. Hopefully, these two young women can appreciate that the fire-breathing monster before them is largely responsible for the virtually every piece of technology that we all take for granted today.
This image was captured during November of 2011, when the Strasburg Rail Road's regular excursions were operating only between East Strasburg and Groff's Grove, because a construction crew was in the process of completely replacing the only bridge on the railroad, just about half a mile to the east of the siding there.
At the end of one of the the turbine/generator rows at Drax power station.
High pressure turbine on the right,the large silver pipes carry superheated steam, meet in the middle then pas over the turbine. On the left are the governor valves, which control the amount of steam entering the Turbine and prevent overspeeding. The Turbine will be turning at 3000 RPM.
Three generations, and three of the coolest women you'll ever know. Strobist: AB800 at 1/4 power, through medium PBuff octabox, camera right. Using a PB Vagabond II power source, and fired with Pocket Wizards.
I think of myself as the young guy but I think we all know I'm the old guy. Totally sketchy bar they're in front of, there.
Please spend some time looking at footage of the ICE rampage going on in Chicago. It's a shitshow. Masked men in unmarked cars grabbing random landscapers and their children in the streets. May karma find each and every one of these ICE guys.
