A collection of vintage power sits in the Winchester & Western yard at Gore, VA. GP10 #575 started out as a GP9 with the Pennsylvania Railroad.
Gore panels, provided to Boeing by supplier MT Aerospace of Germany, are stacked and ready for welding on the Gore Weld Tool at NASA’s Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans. Gore panels are preformed aluminum alloy dome segments. They are welded together to form a dome -- the end cap to NASA's Space Launch System core stage hydrogen fuel tank. All of the hardware necessary for building the tank that will be used on the first flight of SLS has been delivered to the facility and is awaiting assembly. SLS will be the most powerful rocket ever built for deep space missions, including to an asteroid and ultimately to Mars. The core stage, towering more than 200 feet, will store cryogenic liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen that will feed the vehicle’s RS-25 engines. Boeing is the prime contractor for the SLS core stage, including avionics.

Al Gore during lunch at the XPrize Executive Summit…
On Iraq: “We ignored international law. It’s obvious that it’s a fiasco, a disaster. Bush’s decision to invade Iraq was the greatest strategic error in the entire history of the United States.” (!)
On Bush’s new Space Bill: “Now we are about to do the same for space. We are about to introduce the same fuzzy thinking and chaos as with Iraq. The U.S. unilaterally decides who gets to go into space? It’s hubristic. The new bill was introduced at 5pm, on Friday, before the long Columbus weekend. You don’t take that much effort unless you have something to hide.”
On Climate Crisis: “We have a global emergency. Our planet has a fever. If your child has a fever, you do something about it. If your child’s crib is on fire, you don’t ponder ‘is my baby flame retardant?’”
“We operate the planet as if it’s a going out of business sale.”
“We are putting 70 million tons of CO2 into the atmosphere per day. 25 million of those tons are absorbed by the oceans, forming carbonic acid. The shell-making of zooplankton and coral depends on free-floating calcium carbonate. Since 1850, we have changed the pH of the oceans worldwide. If we continue at our current rate, the oceans will become so much more acidic that we will disrupt marine life. So, even if a future planetary ‘albino effect’ shields us from the sun, the CO2 will still poison the planet and lose its habitability for us.”
(It reminds me of Jeremy Jackson of Scripps in the LA Times ocean series: “we’re pushing the oceans back to the dawn of evolution, a half-billion years ago when the oceans were ruled by jellyfish and bacteria.”)
On Television and Politics: “Technology can change culture. Writing ushered in the Age of Reason. This was generally a good thing. Well, Galileo got into a little trouble. So did Scopes in my home state. Television is changing the information ecology. Today, 80% of political campaign spending goes to TV advertising. The average American watches 4 hours and 39 minutes of TV per day. Japan is #1 at 5 hours/day. Argentina is #3. What do these three countries have in common? For the last three decades, they have regularly shorted your future, maybe because too many people were catatonic.”
After his talk, someone asked if he would run for President. Gore responded that he cares more about raising awareness about climate crisis. Follow-up exclamation: "You could do that as President" and Gore replied that he disagreed… but with an unusual twist, he added that if he believed that he could, he might reconsider. He gets the question a lot, and in February, at TED, he shared a different perspective.
P.S. Esther Dyson got a snap of me with him too.

A landslide may look like a disaster but it is one of the best places to spend time with these himalayan goats.
I visited Gore Place today, an old estate in Waltham (one of several). There's an 1806 mansion, carriage house, and farm, which hosts sheep and chickens.
Y310-05 crosses the Dolton interlocking on its way back to Barr Yard after delivering to the CN at Kirk Yard. June 2022
To mark the occasion of the old store’s closing (today) and the new store’s opening (tomorrow), I’m uploading these photos of the local flair pics in the Hernando Kroger. Enjoy! :)
This photo is one of four located not along a perimeter wall, but rather on the wall formed by the rear of the service department island, or the side of aisle one (as can be seen here). The caption reads, “Fred Gore (pictured) started the first truck line in Desoto [sic] County. He later married Ernistine Baldwin; a music teacher at Hernando Elementary School.” (All punctuation errors have been reprinted as they appear on the sign.)

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)
