Fifty-five has the interesting property that it is the 10th Fibonacci number and the sum of the numbers 1 to 10.
It is a heptagonal number, a centered nonagonal number, and a triangular number (the sum of the numbers 1 to 10) and a square pyramidal number (the sum of the squares of the integers 1 to 5). It is also a Fibonacci number (the largest Fibonacci number to also be a triangular number) and a Kaprekar number).
55 is a semiprime, being the product of 5 and 11 and it is the 2nd member of the (5.q) semiprime family. 55 is one of only two integers with an aliquot sum of 17 (the other being 39). 55 has an aliquot sequence of 4 members: (55, 17, 1, 0).

Just trying out something a bit different from my usual. This was taken today in one of the Langton villages,Leicestershire. I think it was West Langton.
clownmayor is no more. i made a lawn sign as well, but it needs improvement so i'll rework it in the next couple of days. other signs were made and a few went up, but without me photographing them yet.
i made the base poster over a year ago, and had some leftovers to which i added the red FORMER when i got home tonight after a long day of celebrating the incompetent, loudmouth bigot's removal from office. this has been a long, difficult couple of years for people in this city, progressive or not. the misery exuded by this absurd fool, and his reactionary, bullying behaviour are an embarrassment, and have been glaring, graphic proof of something we all feared years ago: amalgamation was a huge mistake. this criminal, bigoted baby, with a huge sense of entitlement was obviously a terrible choice for mayor, and all the proof we needed of that was evident for anyone who looked into his past. he's never had a job his father didn't get for him, and he has long believed that the laws of the country do not apply to him and his cronies. his verbal and physical abuse of others is a matter of record, as is his racism and homophobia. that 350 000 people voted for this idiot is dsgusting, and it is clear that he and many of his supporters refuse to admit the truth and instead are betting even more heavily on the divisive and punishing tactics of the extreme right-wing. these people are not conservatives, they are hateful idologues, pushing a far-right agenda so that the less extreme rightist garbage they could not pass otherwise gets viewed as more moderate and palatable. when ford started trolling for mayor, i believed that he was a trial balloon being floated by the federal and provincial conservative parties to see just how much bullshit the voters of ontario and the gta would tolerate, and i still think that is true. today the odious stephen harper and tim hudak placed a new pin on their graphs, and that's the only notice they took of the city, having made it abundantly clear years ago that they hate toronto and any sort of progressiveness. guess what, guys? we hate you, too, and you will never have much success here, as your vile pig proved.
rob ford is the first mayor in the history of the city to be removed from office. that ignominy fits him like the cheap suits and drunken scowl he wears so often. since amalgamation we've had two terrible mayors (fraud and mel lastman), both ridiculous clowns, and one decent public servant, david miller. pre-amalgamation, barbara hall and june rowlands, and then we run into the dark time of art eggleton. still, eggleton and lastman at least pretended to take the job seriously much of the time, and seemed to respect the responsibilities accompanying the office, no matter how much fault we found with them. no-one can say the same for the former mayor ford, at least without being, transparently, a liar. further back, people of all political sides fondly remember david crombie, who, while very much a conservative, still showed respect for social justice much of the time and did not make a habit of alienating non-allies. sadly, his form of conservatism is no more.
a final question: since city hall is located west of yonge street, will the new private garbage trucks be the ones used to haul ford's diseased carcass from office, or will he be ground into a paste that can be fed to bloat teenaged sports teams?

An eight shot stitch in the roundhouse of Railtown 1897. A historic park located in Jamestown, California. I highly recommend the guided tour which takes about two hours and is included in the five dollar admission. Our guide was full of knowledge and stories about the history of the Sierra Nevada Railroad and these amazing pieces of history. This Engine has appeared in several well known movies such as Back to the Future III, Unforgiven and Pale Rider. The park recently completed a refit with a brand new boiler so she should be ready to run for another hundred years.
Preserved RML898 shows off a long lost feature of the Routemaster type, removed quite early on from the type was this rear offside route number blind which was changed from the inside by the conductor. Seen at Stoke D'Abernon 31/10/10.
Hong Kong Transport - Trucks
The Hong Kong Truck Culture
The number of Trucks, Vans* and Special Purpose Vehicles (Light, Medium & Heavy) registered + licenced in Hong Kong seems to fluctuate between 120,000 - 125,000 vehicles and presumably new trucks registered are offset by old trucks being retired or sold over the border in China.
*Vans are classified as Light Goods Vehicles and are not shown in this album
In Hong Kong Trucks are classified as GOODS VEHICLES By the Transport Department - see below
☛Light Goods Vehicles - Goods vehicles of permitted gross vehicle weight not exceeding 5.5 tonnes.
☛Medium Goods Vehicles - Goods vehicles of permitted gross vehicle weight exceeding 5.5 tonnes but not exceeding 24 tonnes.
☛Heavy Goods Vehicles - Goods vehicles of permitted gross vehicle weight exceeding 24 tonnes but not exceeding 38 tonnes.
The major truck types you tend to see in urban areas are trucks carrying construction materials or waste, dump trucks, concrete mixers and all sizes of delivery trucks... outside of the urban areas it is container trucks and large trucks carrying construction materials.
The following brands of Trucks can be seen on the streets of Hong Kong and include:-
Beiben ✚ Bell ✚ CAMC ✚ CNHTC ✚ DAF ✚ Dennis ✚ Dong Feng ✚ FAW ✚ Fuso ✚ Foton ✚ Ford ✚ Hino ✚ Howo ✚ Hyundai ✚ Isuzu ✚ Iveco ✚ JAC ✚ Kato ✚ KIA ✚ Liebherr ✚ MAN ✚ Mercedes Benz ✚ Mitsubishi ✚ Nissan ✚ Renault ✚ Scania ✚ Shacman ✚ Sinotruk ✚ Suzuki ✚ Toyota ✚ UD ✚ Volvo ✚ Zoomlion
Hong Kong is a brand conscious place even for trucks (!) hence the popularity of the European brands, Scania and Man are very popular and even the older trucks look the business and they are utterly reliable.
Isuzu is the market leader in terms of sale volume for all types of trucks.

There it was, 10 Downing Street, London, England.
I'd been told that Gordon was not at home but upon surveying the scene I'd come to the conclusion that I was being led into a trap. After all I was the most notorious Non-terrorist in the Country, and they were out to get me.
Stood at the bottom of the steps to the famous Black door of power, a bobby was deep in conversation with two plain clothed guys. I could hear nothing but I'm sure that they were explaining the sting to him.
"We hear that he has a weakness for traffic cones, we've just positioned these little beauties behind us. He's bound to show."
At that moment something I did, I think it was nothing, caught the attention of the other bobby.
Jaysis - he'd seen me, I had to get out of there and fast, after all I was the most notorious non-terrorist in the country.
As I made my getaway, I mulled over the events of the previous few minutes. Would I ever be able to lead a normal life again, now that they knew I had a camera and wasn't afraid to use it?
Just north of Mildred, Kansas, found an abandoned service station. Looked like only sightseers, and us, had been inside in many years. This older dial phone was sitting on and old heater.
Number 4
Which is funny, because he told me he knit his scarf as a fan of Dr Who, and Tom Baker (known for wearing a long scarf in the role) was the Fourth Doctor. He said buying all different colors of yarn was cost prohibitive. He is also wearing a t-shirt commemorating his participation (playing guitar) in BDHS' 2010 production of Little Shop Of Horrors.
I saw him and another gentleman walking up the street and decided to pull over ahead of them. As they walked past the car I kicked myself for missing the opportunity . Deciding it was not too late, I jumped out and ran after them. The older man noticed, so I said "Excuse me..." I am sure holding the DSLR makes one seem somehow allowed to take pictures of strangers. It was a rush. I'm happy I did it. Next time I really ought to ask a woman.
