Driver dies in logging truck crash
Posted: Jul. 10, 2008
Raleigh, N.C. — A driver died Thursday when his logging truck hit a guardrail on the Interstate 440 Inner Beltline in Raleigh, went down an embankment and crashed into a tree in the woods.
The driver has been identified as Eric Gene Simmons, 54, of 1609 Dogwood Acres Drive in Sanford. The truck he was driving belonged to Elliott Logging Inc., 4385 Center Church Road in Sanford.
The accident occurred just after 10:30 a.m. Traffic was backed up for hours near the South Saunders Street interchange.
The driver's body was pinned inside the truck. Authorities said they were not sure why the logging truck went off the road, but witnesses said they believed the truck struck the guardrail due to a ruptured tire.
After the truck struck the guardrail and exited the road, it overturned onto its left side and continued to travel down the embankment, according to police. A tree struck the truck in the upper-front portion of the cab. Logs separated from the truck’s trailer and one struck a nearby parked 18-wheeler truck. The driver of that truck took shelter between that truck’s cab and trailer. He was not injured.
At 5:30 p.m. crews had cleared debris from the scene.

My second log cabin, it consists mostly of that deliciously soft wool from Malabrigo but occasionally a Manos del Uruguay was used for the color. This was a well-received gift at a baby shower a few months ago.
I made the squares and pieced it together and then did a border. Do not like the seams. Developed a different way of seaming with the next log cabin.
Biking around the countryside somewhere near Yangshuo town of Guangxi province, China, I stumbled upon these logs on the side of the road. I stopped for this pattern and the cloudy sky to make yet another frame I thought was interesting.

As you cruise down the west side of the Cape into the Gulf of Carpenteria you bump into, go around or as in our case explore Crab Island which is part of a large shallow moving mass of sand banks that stretch across to Prince of Wales Island. . the island is the biggest nesting location for the rare Flat Back Turtles and is about 3 - 4 km end to end . There is just enough depth in the top half of the tide for our vessel to carefully sneak in between the Island and the main land
The low lying main land vista has little of interest apart from foraging pigs and bird life ..just miles of sand beach strewn with remnants from around the world . Of interest to me was the rusty drums of diesel from Asian and 3 old refrigerant cylinders from who knows where.
But the anchorage was totally calm and well protected from nearly all directions. Its a delight to be surrounded by picturesque sand banks at low tide . Strolling around the island was a terrific for our naturalist and photographic leanings . Most interesting mangrove areas and swirling sandy mud flats on the eastern side . On the north west side was a long wide steeper beach which a large population of crocs seemed to like, they are no doubt feasting on the nesting Flat Back turtles.
7 large crocs together surrounded by the rolling ocean was a sight to behold. 2 females had tracking devices attached . The Australian Zoo ( the late Steve Erwin ) in combination with Queensland Uni attach these devices to crocs up the Wenlock River area for study purposes so not sure if they came from there or not but it was fascinating to actually see the devices . I was able to approach to within 20 meters before all the reptiles dissolved into the ocean . We were happy to get some reasonable pics for memorabilia although I wished I had purchased that long distance telescopic lens I had agonized over before we commenced our journey . It would have been sensational to have been able to capture really close up sharp shots of their comings and goings from a distance. Maybe I should mortgage the boat!!!!
The croc tracks indicated at least one had at times moved a long way up the beach to where the turtles laid their eggs so we pondered whether they themselves were nesting amongst the tusky grass mounds bordering the beach or whether they were just feasting on helpless turtles or the turtle and their eggs!!

Côté ouest vers la loge royale et tous les spectateurs.
Une visite conférence à l'Opéra Royal de Versailles, j'en rêvais depuis longtemps !
Ce n'est pas malheureusement idéal pour faire des photos...il faut suivre le conférencier et les autres visiteurs veulent aussi prendre des photos.
Pas de flash possible et peu de lumière, heureusement mon Canon 7D peut monter dans les ISO sans trop de grain : 3200 à 1/4s....sans pied !
I dressed up as the Log Lady from Twin Peaks for Halloween, and made this sweet log purse! Check out my blog for instructions: craftrambler.blogspot.com/2014/11/my-log-saw-something-th...
