Just four numbers lower at PC 18474 and I would have found the caboose, or "cabin car" that I practically grew up in. PC Model N-11 18478 is on display in downtown Union City, Indiana along CSX's ex-Big 4 (CCC&StL)/NYC/PC/CR Indianapolis Line Sub. This cabin car was never red while in service though, and wore PC green when built by PC in their ex-NYC Despatch Shops, then later Conrail blue.

Brush type 2's 31424 (31157 D5575) and 31433 (31236 D5663) head towards Dawlish with a North bound train on 27th May 1989. Thanks to Andrew Parkinson for the info on 31433 former numbers.
Which number to take, that's the question... Golf clubs in low light.
[I guess good monitor calibration is required to enjoy this shot optimally.]
Adding numbers found in the wild to my 1-100 Numbers album. #99 was on the side of a Truck on a stop-and-go freeway. More stop than go. He grew up as a 42 before maturing into a 99.
"Uncountable numbers written in the fallen snow, I can hear the claws of the beast tapping at my window. Nihilist sleeps and in dreams, he sees god's face. Realize even disbelief requires a leap of faith. From birth to death, we search for what is yet to be known. We hope and pray and ask, but we are never shown." - Alexisonfire
Good numbers of Avocets back @ Snettisham. They were working the mudflats as the tide went out, instead of their usual feeding behaviour of sweeping bill through shallow water
"The most interesting feature are the serial numbers, which are out of usual Fed-2 numbers range. Although at least 25.000 copies of this type were manufactured till year 1966 (appr. range #5640.000-#5665.000), Fed have started with numbering #6600.000 in 1966 again! Even the serial number on the lens starts with new "66" date prefix."

Ever since Home Economics class in junior high school I've enjoyed adventures in the kitchen. And I prefer cooking before baking because the former is more forgiving, more flexible. A little of this, a pinch of that, a handful or two of something else, taste and adjust, done.
Baking, on the other hand, is not so flexible. This is when precise numbers make the difference between success and a gawd awful failure.
Today is overcast and drizzling, perfect for making bread. Although only five ingredients, they must be at a precise temperature and measurements to yield a beautiful pan of focaccia.

Week 30 Theme: Numbers
Note: if the group moderators think this is a stretch (and not just of dough!) to make the theme, I'll take it out of the weekly thread. :-)
One of the most colorful birds in North America, the Painted Bunting (Passerina ciris) is unequivocally...stunning. Today, about 3.5 million remain, which is, sadly, a decline of over 50% over the past three decades. Accordingly, it's status is "near threatened" due to habitat loss and cowbird parasitism. People all around agree on the importance of aiding in the survival of this handsome bird, and hopefully we shall see population a resurgence, so the skies are once again painted with "murals" or "palettes" of painted buntings!
A large Brown Stink Bugs (Euschistus) (at least 1/2 in long) on Leafy Spurge flowers. Neighbourhood, Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. 27 May 2023
If it did feed on the Leafy spurge then it's helpful!
Euchistus
Numbers
20 spp. in our area, all in the nominate subgenus(1), >70 spp. in 4 subgenera total(2)
Size: 8-15 mm
Identification
One thing that all the Euschistus spp. have in common, besides being brown, is a vague, barely visible dark patch in the center of the scutellum and a smaller matching spot on each upper wing half. These look more like smudges than markings, and are more visible in certain light conditions and at certain angles.(3)
Rear tibia grooved above:
Range: New World, by far most diverse in the Neotropics(7)
Habitat
Woodlands, cultivated land, orchards
Food
plant juices; may be destructive to crops, esp. fruits
occasional predation observed (Culliney 1985) bugguide.net/node/view/7207
Numbers and mathematics are the basis for all science and scientific disciplines. Numbers can describe everything you do. Philosophers can debate whether mathematics define reality or reality defines mathematics, but regardless, mastery of numbers and mathematics is a necessary skill. Work your STEM skills, everyone!
