A set of Helpers has just uncoupled on the fly and will follow the load to just beyond the signals. There they will wait for a light to crossover and run back to Crawford NE to await their next turn.
I've never been one to ask for help, but today I am.
As a lot of you know I volunteer at a rescue for Australian Cattle dogs. So this is very close to my heart. The operation this little girl needs is going to costs at least $1500. If I can raise even a small amount of that I'd be happy.
If you can help, please flickr mail me.
Thank you :)
Ps. If you have suggestions on her little poster I'd appreciate that too.
I found this chipmunk trapped in a large plastic basin in my mom's front yard. I heard noises coming from the basin and found him partially submerged in water and soggy plant debris. He looked completely resigned and miserable , and then he sort of looked right up at me, so I got done with my shot and tipped over the container. He sat there in the grass for a moment then scampered across the driveway and let out a single "CHIP!" I took it as a thank you...
One of Santa's Helpers (actually a CTA crewman) examines the side of his train at Morgan Street Station. Normally CTA trains are operated by one person. Because of the its popularity, the CTA Holiday Train has several CTA personnel on board, usually dressed in Holiday regalia.
The doors are operated by a second CTA person riding mid-train, similar to what was done in the era before one-person-operated trains. Station announcements are done the old-fashioned way too, by an actual CTA person and not the prerecorded voice of "CTA Guy". Because the 2018 iteration of the Holiday Train was sponsored by Allstate, I thought it'd be neat if actor Dennis Haysbert did the announcements!
Maj. Gen. William Wofford, the adjutant general of the Arkansas National Guard, stands with an Arkansas State Trooper during Governor Mike Beebe’s Damage Assessment in Des Arc, Ark. on May 4, 2011. The general flew with the governor and other leaders and emergency managers via an Arkansas National Guard UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter. Shortly after the Prairie County visit, the Guard picked up the new mission to provide an additional 74 Soldiers to support civil authorities with security and high water evacuations.
Lately, my preferred rail-drive combo when travelling to London is car to Epping, then Central Line. You might as well forget the station car park, which is always full. Parking behind the shops in Epping is £2.80 all day. The worst of it is the uphill walk from station to shops on the way back, when your feet are tired from a day of pounding the capital's pavements.
So here we were again. After going our own ways for the day ...we both enjoy ourselves more... Mrs B and I rendezvous at Liverpool Street. Trouble is, it's usually around five or six o' clock, when the trains are running at one-minute headways and all of them are chocka. We were a little earlier than usual this time ...1609 by the clock there... but it made no difference.
The last two times I've made this journey I've been offered a seat ...in both cases by young women. The first time I assumed the seated passenger was addressing someone over my shoulder. It takes the wind out of your sails a bit. Blige ...do I really look that old? Am I that old? The answer, in both cases, is probably "yes". The trouble is that the young regard you as old at a much earlier stage than that at which you cease to think of yourself as young.
What's it like to get old? As youth recedes into the past and we advance through the middle years we become apprehensive. I am unable yet to report from the viewpoint of extreme old age, but I can say that, so far, one's essential outlook and inclinations remain unchanged. In fact, in the minutes before the young women offered me their seats, I'd probably been thinking, like any nasty normal man, how decidedly shaggable they were. Well. I'm just trying to be honest here. The tragedy of ageing is not that you become old, but that you remain young. It's just that the body begins to let you down. So I graciously declined their kind offers, although I'd have been glad to take the weight off me plates. The offer was not repeated on this most recent occasion. We let this train go. The Epping train was a minute behind. I think I finally got a seat at somewhere like Buckhurst Hill ...and with the Hill of Death ahead of us.
Had you noticed the graininess? Kodak TMax P3200 ...3200ASA that is. The grain is a bit much, even for me, but, well, you can take a hand-held shot down here in the Underground. I was thinking of Fuji's Neopan 1600 film as a (presumably) less grainy alternative, but I discovered last night that It'd been discontinued.

Colossus was the world's first electronic, digital, programmable computer. Colossus and its successors were used by British codebreakers to help read encrypted German messages during World War II. They used thermionic valves (vacuum tubes) to perform the calculations.
Orca Network has started a campaign to promote awareness and conservation of the Southern Resident population of orcas: Orca Month! They are proposing that June be recognized as orca month, and they need your help! If you want to sign their petition, send your signature via email to info@orcanetwork.org
The Southern Residents are an endangered population of orca. Their population is in danger, especially after 5 orcas died this year, including two young mothers and 2 babies! There are only 85 of these genetically distinct whales left. The two whales in the photo are members of the population; the big guy is Skana (L79), an 18 year old male, and the smaller whale is either his mom Spirit, or his younger brother Solstice.
UPDATE: June has officially been declared Orca Awareness Month! :)

" In Distress.".......by Uranie Colin-Libur....1902.
There is a such thing as a "Steampunk Sourcebook" ? haa, someone was hiding it in the drawing section of Barnes and Noble
Slightly edited shot of a girl in Amsterdam. Taken with my Sony HX1.
Sometimes when I try to secretly shoot somebody, they notice me waving my camera in their general direction and they might panic (hey, having a wicked Reflectah pointing his cam at you can be a somewhat disturbing experience!), and some even go as far as calling the cops, like the lady in these pictures. Once she realized that she might end up in a puddle, being wickedly reflected on, she grabbed her mobile and started dialing 911 112, hysterically screaming at the emergency services people to come and rescue her, crying, sobbing and ululating all over the place. Of course by the time her fingers hit the '1' on the dialpad the first time, I had already hopped on my trusty bicycle and was rapidly riding into the sunset, only to search for less attentive victims, or at least a fool without a mobile phone, lol :D

Stories and activities to help mark that all important first day, including boarding a real school bus. Held at HCLS Miller Branch.
The Dorset Coast Express of 14 August 2013 saw 'West Country" pacific 34046 'Braunton' make its main line debut. Here, the Bulleid heads off up the Hounslow loop at Barnes, with ten coaches and a 'dead' WCRC class 33 at the rear. The diesel was provided for the return section from Weymouth to Southampton, but here its weight makes the train the equivalent of around 13/14 coaches, running onto the 1 in 144 climb to Barnes Bridge. "Braunton' was putting in a strong effort at this point.
I was ironing steam-a-seam to fabric today and got pencil marks all over my new iron. Freaking out . . . any ideas? I am going to try dryer sheets in the am. This iron is about a week old and I was having a serious love affair with it . . . now I feel horrible when I glance at her.
Decided to use my old iron for anything with iron trashing potential in the future.
This past week I went on a road trip from Roxbury, NJ to Logan, UT to help my partner move out there for grad school. The first two days we powered through New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Minnesota to get to our first break at Badlands National Park in South Dakota.
The landscape there was stunning and otherworldly. As I comented to my partner and her sister, I'm certain I've seen sci-fi films and TV shows use the park for scenes taking place on another planet. We were also there the week of the annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, so there were bikers everywhere.
We of course practiced social distancing and wore masks whenever we were around others throughout the trip, though much of the time on the trail there wasn't anyone else around!
Photos from our next breaks in Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks to come soon!
“Bhagavad-Gita is the most beautiful, perhaps the only true philosophical song existing in any known tongue” – so opined William von Humboldt, who wrote seven-hundred verses in its praise.
In this modern rendition, the beauty of the Sanskrit slokas is reflected in the rhythmic flow of the English verse of poetic proportions even as the attendant philosophy of the song that is Bhagvad-Gita is captured in contemporary idiom for easy comprehension.
It is a matter of consensus that Bhagvad-Gita in the present length of seven hundred slokas has many an interpolation to it, but no meaningful attempt has ever been made to delve into the nature and extent, not to speak of the effect of these on the Hindu society at large. The methodical codification of interpolations carried out here, for the first time ever, puts the true character of Gita in proper perspective. Identified here are hundred and ten slokas of deviant nature and or of partisan character, the source of so much misunderstanding about Bhagvad-Gita, the book extraordinary, in certain sections of the Hindu fold. In the long run, exposing and expunging these mischievous insertions is bound to bring in new readers from these quarters to this over two millennia old classic besides altering the misconceptions of the existing adherents.
