A sentimental journey
back and forth through time
a haze sometimes
clear as crystal on other days
this is where the emotion chimes
hourly, daily, eternally perhaps?
as much as the Sun gives to life
the hidden shadows remain lost
to the extended night
only touched by reality's hurtful frost
perchance can it change at all?
or has time done enough inside
that sentence dressed in ill-fitting words
like Winter nestling in the clutch of Spring
the bane of all nature's lovebirds
herald the call with a cry
in clonos nothing can defy the truth
of intuitive feelings so vivacious
they of the free world fly in the face of our 'society'
reaching up in unison, in search of rightness...
we follow suit for justification of our ills
clarification of the wrongs within
condemnation of all others we deem below us
always in denial of our own contemptuous stance
of which none among us are truly blameless
upon this fact we at least stand shoulder to shoulder-
the blame in part,
consuming thoughts on a diet of weighty emotions
is a recipe for the poor health of purpose
we must all take responsibility for the recycling of such actions.

Union Pacific SD90MAC-II units No. 8536 and 8551 lead a 120 car ILBG1 container train at Lake Point, Utah the afternoon of Aug. 20, 2000. Between 1996 and 1999, EMD built 21 SD90MAC-H and 40 SD90MAC-II locomotives for the Union Pacific Railroad. Originally numbered 8501-8521 and 8522-8561, the 6000 horsepower units were in direct competition with GE’s new AC6000CW series. The units were equipped with radial steering trucks, AC traction motors, and isolated safety cabs with shock absorbers. Operational flexibility compared to UP’s smaller units plagued them from the beginning and UP retired all of its 6000 HP EMD units by 2008.

II/I
Just a bit of fun and a way to pass my time recovering from this bug. This was taken while exploring the Italian countryside and a drive down a dirt track we spotted a small forest of clean poplar trees.
Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, Canada
The original Bluenose was launched as a Grand Banks fishing and racing schooner on 26 March 1921 in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. It was designed by William Roué and built by the Smith and Rhuland Shipyard.
Bluenose Captain Angus Walters and the builders who crafted the sleek vessel had something to prove. Their sights were set on the International Fishermen's Race. For a working fishing schooner, speed was a tremendous asset. Those who made it to port first fetched the best price for their catch. The Fishermen's Race was no token competition for privileged yachts. It was a real race for the hard-working vessels of fishermen who made their living on the sea. Nova Scotia's pride and shipbuilding reputation sailed with Bluenose.
From the moment Bluenose took to the sea, it was evident she was a vessel unlike any other. When she took home her first Fishermen's Trophy in October of 1921, the legend began. During the next 17 years, no challenger — American or Canadian — could wrest the trophy from Bluenose. She earned the title "Queen of the North Atlantic" and was well on her way to becoming a Canadian icon.
Bluenose came to symbolize Nova Scotia's prominence in the fishing and shipbuilding industries. She represented Canada around the world. In 1933, Bluenose appeared at the Century of Progress World's Fair in Chicago, and sailed to England's Silver Jubilee of King George V in 1935.
The majestic image of the Bluenose has adorned the Canadian dime since 1937 and three postage stamps, as well as the Nova Scotia license plate.
Bluenose II - The legend reborn
Bluenose struck a reef off Isle aux Vache, Haiti on 28 January 1946. Despite the loss, the legacy and admiration for the once mighty schooner lived on in the hearts and minds of Canadians — especially Nova Scotians.
In 1963, Bluenose II was launched. It was built by many of the same people who had worked on the original vessel at the same shipyard in Lunenburg. The project was financed by Oland Brewery to advertise their products, while also promoting Nova Scotia's maritime heritage and tourism. William Roué, the designer of the original Bluenose, endorsed the vessel. Captain Walters sailed on the maiden voyage.
Bluenose II was gifted to the Government of Nova Scotia in 1971. It continues to serve as Nova Scotia's sailing ambassador — an enduring symbol of the province — living history under sail.
