On the other side of the fence, Mr. Zoom and I crossed the street to get a better look at the building from which we'd just escaped. I was happy to see that Mr. Z's eyes were clear again. He asked if I still had the paper I'd pulled out of the one-fingered hand. I patted the pockets of my pants. Yes! But only part of it.
We stood huddled together, trying to find a clue in the words. If we were to believe the Statue of Liberty, Demi only had to look for the signs to find her other half. Originally we were just humoring Demi, helping her with her quest. But now we felt that if we followed the signs we might find her.
Part of a headline remained. We read it together at the same time...out loud.
ines Contribute to City's Demi (and the paper was torn here)
Huh? City's Demise was a good guess as to the rest of the headline. But what about the beginning?
A bit of wind ruffled the paper in my hand and my eyes were struck by the words etched in the sidewalk.
IN DIRECT LINE WITH ANOTHER and THE NEXT.
Mr. Zoom and I looked at each other, puzzled, and in a way, more frightened than we were with the Bruce Lee look-alike bearing down on us. Could the partial headline and these odd words have a connection to each other....and to Demi?

In Direct Line With Another And The Next
Does anyone else's head hurt?
This is the continuing story of Demi Less and her quest to find her other half. The quest has led her...and us, from Virginia to New York City. If you are just joining us, you might want to read Part 1. Start at the last photo and move forward.

Excerpt from Sabbaths 1998 poem VII by Wendell Berry
There is a place you can go
where you are quiet,
a place of water and the light
on the water. Trees are there,
leaves, and the light
on leaves moved by air.
Birds, singing, move
among leaves, in leaf shadow.
After many years you have come
to no thought of these,
but they are themselves
your thoughts. There seems to be
little to say, less and less.
Here they are. Here you are.
Love taking photos like this, a solitary cloud peeping out from behind the modern, contemporary architecture of the new Showcase cinema in Southampton, UK.

A previous image includes the mountain to the left while this one emphasizes the sun and it's brilliant arrival.
A pair of former Rio Grande GP40s, 302 and 303 sit too far away for a decent roster shot in Canton Yard.
This poor Eastern Phoebe looks a little raggedy and I would have passed it up except it had an insect in its beak and the more I looked at it, the more I believe it to be a horsefly with eyes of green and black stripes. What I found interesting is that the Phoebe didn't just chuck it back but had it in its bill for at least a minute. I thought that was interesting but have no idea why the bird would do that. Was it just enjoying the capture? But, in the end, thank you to the Phoebe because I hate the bite of horseflies. There's one less thanks to you!

This is the next frame of a previously posted slide. I got a new scanner, and am taking it on a test run. The new scanner is a (true) 4000dpi, so I decided to post a larger scan....
SP262 was the lead locomotive on one of first 2x2 DPU eastbound trains up Tennessee Pass. The heavy coal load rated one less motor 2 on head-end vs the normal 3. There is still a 4 locomotive manned helper cut in as the swing (8 units total). This configuration became more common at the end of 1996, with the UP reverting mostly back to 9 units in 1997. The train is near the top of the longest sustained section of 3% on Tennessee Pass (From 150 feet east of the locomotive to east Pando)...
Note SP221 is the second motor :)

Finally took some proper photos of my Ultra Mecha Dragon. Double the scale of my previous Mecha Dragon. The MOC is just under 4 feet in length and little less than 2 feet in height.
The last time I visited Rosewell terminus was in the thick of winter - the 'great' winter no less of 2009/2010! The snow here was thick, crisp and even and I felt like Good King Wenceslas with his staff, plowing through the fields - and that was just the road all around here!
Gemini 764 branded for Service 31 in this stylish orange livery sits ahead of Volvo B7RLE number 156 on the 49. I enjoyed this summer evening journey very much, particularly for the terrific driving skills of Mr. Cuthill who just never messes around with anything or anyone. Greatly entertaining!

A tiny Icicle formation on the shed this afternoon after all the snow in the UK. HMM Everyone!
A ranch road winds its way through rugged country.
As we bounced along over rocks in a truck with air-filled tires and shock absorbers, it was easy to understand how much harder on a body this must have been in the days of stage coaches and wagons with metal-rimmed wooden wheels.
The classic rectangular shape and accessibility makes this waterfall an instant classic. One of the most popular waterfalls in the country, you can experience it from its misty base as well as from its precarious top. If you have time and energy, don't forget to hike further upstream for even more waterfalls along the Skoga River.
More or less we all have the same images from this great waterfall, but a must have when being on Iceland.
Enjoy...

They were less sour than most cranberries - I enjoyed eating the ripest ones raw. And the sauce my wife made was sooo good!
A minimal amount of colour added to a splendid photo featuring the York to Bournemouth through train at Leicester Central.
