Here we are, almost ready to be opened!
I will reserve judgement until it is opened, and I have a chance to navigate this gate with my bikes. I'm not hopeful that it will be entirely accommodating to anything long and wide, or with three wheels, or both long and wide and with three wheels. Perish the thought that some people might be carrying touring luggage on their bike, or that some people might not actually a ride a bog standard bicycle, whether by preference or by medical recommendation.
Also notice that people tend to crowd around the nearby refrigerator-shaped bit of equipment which happens to be the thing that sells you your train tickets. Kind of popular in a railway station.
In case Network Rail is reading this, I've been using Waverley station for a very long time and I have never seen anyone cycling on the main concourse. There is a very deeply rooted and unjustified mistrust of people these days.

This one was a very unique idol. I have never seen one in this pattern in my city.
Ref: Wikipedia:
Lord Ganesha, although he is known by many other attributes, Ganesha's elephant head makes him easy to identify.[9] Ganesha is widely revered as the Remover of Obstacles[10] and more generally as Lord of Beginnings and Lord of Obstacles (Vighnesha, Vighneshvara),[11] patron of arts and sciences, and the deva of intellect and wisdom.[12] He is honoured at the beginning of rituals and ceremonies and invoked as Patron of Letters during writing sessions.[13] Several texts relate mythological anecdotes associated with his birth and exploits and explain his distinct iconography.

How would you describe your WSSU experience?
Amazingly interesting. From the people that I’ve met to the different experiences that I’ve had to the situations that I’ve been in and witnessed. But I wouldn’t trade this experience for anything.
What were some of your favorite parts of your college experience?
Connecting with like minded individuals, meeting new types of people, gaining life long friends, and unforgettable experiences.
Have you engaged in internships, research projects, study abroad, student leadership, community outreach, or other experiences that are enhancing your time at WSSU?
I participated in research during my first two years and summers at WSSU and then I had an internship Nationwide during my third summer. I also experienced student leadership and community outreach through Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. as I was Chapter President for an organization known for its service.
Did you face any obstacles while pursuing your degree?
The biggest obstacle was definitely speaking to people. I’ve never been the most outgoing person, and I’m still not, but I have come so far from when I first arrived at Winston.
What are your plans after graduation?
I’m honestly still trying to decide this myself. I’ve had a lot of good opportunities present themselves to me but what I’m leaning more towards right now is attending graduate school at A&T where I’ve been accepted into the Masters and PhD programs for Computer Science.
Are there any particular faculty, coaches, mentors, or staff that made a difference in your life?
I’ve had a lot who have definitely impacted me whether they know it or not. Of course my department chair, Dr. Elva Jones. The first professor I connected with and fraternity brother, Dr. Frederick Roundtree. My research mentor, Dr. Mustafa Atay. One of my favorite professors, someone I can always come talk to, and sor

Lord Ganesha is a God of Obstacles. Most people know that he's the "Elephant God" thanks to The Simpsons.
This isn't a picture of the deity, but I own a little ivory elephant to help represent it in addition to the actual deity statue I have.
We all have obstacles we have to deal with every day. These past few days have been that way for a handful of us. You just have to stop and think how you're going to jump the hurdle and make it better. We haven't gotten there yet, but I hope we do soon.
(El Paso, Texas, Dec. 2, 2017)
The second annual Community Outreach Day drew more than 100 participants from local organizations onto Fort Bliss Dec. 2. Big Brothers Big Sisters, the Child Crisis Center and the Police Explorers of El Paso attended the free event hosted by Soldiers from the Mobilization and Deployment Division and the 1st Armored Division Iron Training Detachment.
Volunteers from the ITD led children as young as 3 years old down the rappel tower and through the obstacle course.
“The opportunity to introduce children and adults from the greater El Paso community to some of the training conducted by Fort Bliss Soldiers is very important,” explained Capt. Clayton Melton, commander of ITD. First. Lt. Jerald Bodden, 644th Regional Support Group, and First Lt. Iesha Taylor, 7218th Medical Support Unit, from MaD, were also instrumental in organizing and hosting the day.
The event began with Col. Dominic Wibe, commander of the 644th RSG and Mobilization Division, welcoming the group. “If you do what they teach you to do, you will be able to overcome this,” he said. “You will be able to say you have done something great that a lot of people are too scared to do or can’t do.”
The Air Assault Cadre from ITD provided a block of instruction and explained safety measures prior to participants rappelling down the 50-foot tower. The group lined up for the cadre to begin rigging the Swiss seats, one-by-one, before moving to the tower.
Anthony Gomez, 9, of Big Brothers Big Sisters, explained the climb to the top of the tower was scary and “felt like climbing Mount Everest.” After rappelling, Gomez was proud of himself, saying, “I accomplished that I went down the tower.”
Bodden said it’s fun to mentor and inspire kids.
“I believe it’s important to impart a sense of pride and accomplishment, as well as the knowledge that they can accomplish any goal and overcome any hardship, hurdle or setback if they believe and work toward a goal,” Bodden said.
Orlando Hernandez, co-adviser for the Westside Police Explorers of El Paso, explained events like this build camaraderie within their program, teamwork and confidence.
“This experience has helped my determination,” said Yesenia Ochoa, 16, from Police Explorers of El Paso. “I know I can face anything big.”
Plans for another event this spring are moving forward. Bodden says he hopes the event will gain participation among the installation, local agencies and businesses.
“I believe the leadership (at Fort Bliss) has a lot to offer the younger generations,” Bodden said, “and the kids love to speak to them as well as rappel from the tower and negotiate the obstacles.”
Daniel Arriaga, a mentor for Big Brothers Big Sisters, plans to participate again.
“This is a great event for giving the kids a boost of confidence and morale,” Arriaga said. “Thank you to the military for hosting this. We appreciate your support and everything you do for us.”
The Mobilization and Deployment Division, or MaD, is not an actual military unit. It is an Army mission currently being led by the 644th Regional Support Group, an Army Reserve unit out of Fort Snelling, Minnesota. MaD is a section of DPTMS that conducts mobilization and deployment operations at Fort Bliss.
