Sadly this independent operator in Torbay is de-registering its services. Though they are busy and serve areas that wouldn't otherwise have a service, most of the passengers are pensioners on free passes - and the council reimbursement simply isn't enough to make it viable.
This is Cockington Village, a scenic tourist hotspot on the outskirts of Torquay.
After a fantastic lunch at Blvd. BBQ in KCMO, I saw this BNSF local rolling down the Ft. Scott Sub with pure BN power on the point, and I had to go chasing it. When I was a kid, I remember seeing these in tiger stripes with fuel tenders and B30-7A's leading the Expediters to/from Chicago, but in 2014, I'm happy to shoot them on anything.
This is at CP Rosedale, and I'm looking northeast towards Mill St. (that's my old 2010 Pontiac Vibe) and I-35.
Dill Sandwich Slices from the Ball Complete Book of Home Preserving. 8 pints.
I love pickles. Pickles every day in every way. Pickles with cheese, pickles on sandwiches and burgers, pickles all over the place. Pickles are the first thing I open when we get home from the store. Pickle choices are limited when you don't eat HFCS. My choices will not be when I'm done pickling!
So far, I've made dilly beans and these pickles. Coming up, bread and butter, something with summer squash, and I'd love to make cornichons.
Chubby Kirby cucumbers are from my favorite very jovial woman at the farmer's market.
Used dill seed instead of weed and white instead of cider vinegar because another trip to the store would have done me in. These might be spicy as the pickling spice I got at the co-op has big dried peppers in it. Used a combo of yellow and brown mustard seeds.
I don't like the new "platinum" Ball lids. I woke up to rust spots on the top of two of them.
This is a paper, five pound bank note, 'No. 19993', issued by the Brighthelmston Bank on 1 July 1841. On the left hand side of the bank note is the logo of the bank. Stamped in black print on the reverse of the bank note is 'At the Town Hall, Brighton, the 8th day of November, 1842.' and 'Exhibited under a Fiat in Bankruptcy against Isaac Newton Wigney and Clement Wigney.' The bank was forced to close in March 1842, ruining many people and forcing the resignation of Isaac Wigney as a Member of Parliament for Brighton.

Grand Trunk GP38-2 5816 had the "Furball" local rolling somewhere close to MP 89.65 on the former Illinois Central Freeport Subdivision in 2003.
I forget exactly how that local received the nickname, or what the official CNIC symbol was at the time, but I remember the name being used between and crews and dispatchers on numerous occasions while I was out and about in the area.
We called these.. TaKob ..
They are very sweet and birds love them. These were picked from the tree but normally you'd find them on the ground. I don't enjoy eating them but I love the colours...

Fierce predator, Shrews live life fast and need to eat every couple of hours. Shrews can eat up to 4 times their bodyweight in a 36 hour period. They will eat worms, beetles, slugs etc. Agressive males often fight to the death .
They are not on the menu for several predators as they apparently taste nasty.

They don't only taste nasty but are second most venomous vertebrae in Britain after the Adder. Their saliva is quite toxic, their bite is very painful and irritating and the toxin when ingested by predators is supposed to be an emetic.
Shrews also have a very high heart rate, one of the fastest for the relative size. thanks Mic and Favemark for the extra info.

New Noise Ordinance in effect for Farm Vegetables
Fayetteville, Ark
Special Correspondent
The City Square in Fayetteville, Ark. was unusually quiet when city lawmakers came to check if the newly laid rules were being followed. "It was like a school assembly hall", recalled Norma Smith, who witnessed it, "total silence with some stray murmers".
The special noise ordinance was imposed on fresh vegetables in the Farmers Market after the pandemonium they caused last week when Thilak, better known as **TR.iPod went shopping at the market. One of the shopowners, who identified himself just as Paw, said that he'd never seen it in all his 70 years of farming. "I aint seen nothin like that. Them vegetables all yellin' n' screamin'!"
Enquiries revealed that Thilak, a member in the online photosharing community flickr (NASDAQ:YHOO), takes photographs of vegetables in his kitchen and shares it with the world. The vegetables have apparently heard about this (probably though a local leak), and were interested in going to his kitchen en route to limelight.
"I had just ordered my coffee at the coffee shop when I suddenly heard this commotion. There was yelling and screaming- 'Take me home!' 'Pick me!' 'Hey, I am here'- and I was like, whaa-? and I came out to see all these vegetables trying to get a guy's attention. It was so cute!", recalls Keisha, a junior at the University.
"We could hear it at the police station and we came out to see what it was", said a sargeant with the Fayetteville PD. "We understood the situation and brought it immediately under control. When Thilak said that he usually shops at the Farmers Market, and would probably come back the week after, we anticipated a recurring event. We felt that an ordinance was mandatory and the matter was taken to the City officials and it was enforced after usual procedure and voting was carried out."
Today all is quiet at the Fayetteville Square. "I dont know how this happened. It was totally unexpected. I usually shop at the Farmers Market because the vegetables are so fresh there. I have never had any problems so far.", said Thilak in an interview with our correspondent. Asked if he suspected any information leak, he said smiling, "I cannot comment on that at this point." The correspondent could not get a shot of Thilak, but he shared with us the image he took when he went shopping at the Farmers Market.
