There are 10 locks between Basel and Speyer from between 9 and 14m in heights- it takes great skill and sometimes patience to wait for the turn to enter the lock. Sometimes there is a line up of ships and barges- and they all fit- just... there is literally inches of clearance.
The view across the sundeck of the ship- the lock is drained

Es hat 10 Schleusen auf der Strecke von Basel nach Speyer. Sie sind zwischen 9m und 14m hoch und es braucht Geduld und viel Erfahrung. Oft warten schon mehrere Schiffe- und bei der Fahrt in die Schleuse geht es um Centimeter-
Der Blick über das sundeck des Schiffes, die Schleuse wird entleert

Locked out
Thought i had locked everyone out of the flat today, i had visions of me trying to climb through all the windows to get back in . luckily it was a false alarm and my mum had a spear key, which saved me from looking like a crazy burglar. I say this but i then went and photographed my thought and still looked like a crazy burglar

Hi! Although this probably happens a lot, it is rarely captured on film!
I thought you'd enjoy the story and pictures!

this has a happy ending for the survivor!
Locked Horns
On November 6, a relative, Dona Viereck, called to tell us that she was driving to
Canton, South Dakota and had seen a buck in the distance with his head down.
It wasn't moving, and although she honked the car horn repeatedly,
he wouldn't raise his head.
She grabbed her binoculars and looked at him, and saw that the buck's horns were
entangled with those of another one, which was dead. So she called us and asked if
we wanted an adventure -- untangling the animals!
Well, we went, pronto!!! I took my camera and we walked right up to them.
They were tangled in an old fence line just east of a golf course, where some railroad tracks had been. The live buck was on the high side, and the dead buck on the slope. The other buck had been dead for 2 or 3 days, we estimated.
Terry attempted to break a point off the dead buck's rack with his pliers, but couldn't. He tried turning the dead buck's head but the other one just became more frightened and started backing up.
The live buck had the bigger rack - a 5 x 6. The dead buck was bigger bodied and looked to be an older deer. It had more "stickers" on its rack.
The now scared buck eventually got out of the fence, and out in the open.
Terry pulled an old post out of the fence line and used it to try and pry the racks
loose, but it didn't work.
We finally decided to go to a friend's house in order to borrow his chainsaw,
but then we thought something quieter would be better,
and so got a hacksaw instead.
Terry sawed the main beam on the dead buck and then other one was free!
The buck didn't realize this for probably 30 seconds or so.
When he did, he started striking the dead buck in the face repeatedly.
He finally raised his head a little, and then a little more.
He stood there with his head held high looking at both of us and we
wondered if he were going to try charging us too!
Then he turned and ran off rather wobbly.
He went a short distance, lay down briefly,
and then got up and took off in the direction of the Big Sioux River.
Terry and Sherry, thanks for the great story and photos,
and for setting the big guy free!

a tiny post
it was just brought to my attention that my blog was locked. sorry about that—all fixed now :)
As seen in HiR Information Report: Cracking Master Thumb-Wheel Padlocks I found this lock on the roadside, then cracked it to find out its combination.
cable lock is bad. cable lock not around any stationary object is worse. these 2 bikes were attached to each other but no one had the bright idea to loop the signpost into the lock job.
