A while back I met up with my good friend Rachel in Leeds and she took us to her favourite Italian restaurant for a lovely meal. I travelled up with Linda (to my right) and a friend of Rachel's Jacqui at the other end of this line made up the quartet. Lovely evening, lovely company.
The Seattle Public Library's Central Library is the flagship library of The Seattle Public Library system. The 11-story (185 feet or 56.9 meters high) glass and steel building in downtown Seattle, Washington was opened to the public on Sunday, May 23, 2004.
The 362,987 square feet (33,722.6 m2) public library can hold about 1.45 million books and other materials, features underground public parking for 143 vehicles, and includes over 400 computers open to the public. Over 2 million individuals visited the new library in its first year.
It is the third Seattle Central Library building to be located on the same site at 1000 Fourth Avenue, the block bounded by Fourth and Fifth Avenues and Madison and Spring Streets. The library has a unique, striking appearance, consisting of several discrete "floating platforms" seemingly wrapped in a large steel net around glass skin. Architectural tours of the building began in June 2004.
In 2007, the building was voted #108 on the American Institute of Architects' list of Americans' 150 favorite structures in the US.[4] It was one of two Seattle buildings included on the list of 150 structures, the other being Safeco Field.

I was playing around with some filters what do you think!
Bodie, an original ghost town from the late 1800's, stands today in a state of "arrested decay". So coined by the State of California when they took over the town in 1962 to make it a State Historic Park.
In 1859 William (a.k.a. Waterman) S. Bodey discovered gold near what is now called Bodie Bluff. A mill was established in 1861 and the town began to grow. It started with about 20 miners and grew to an estimated 10,000 people by 1880! By that time, the town of Bodie bustled with families, robbers, miners, store owners, gunfighters and prostitutes of all kinds. At one time there was reported to be 65 saloons in town. Amongst the saloons were numerous brothels and 'houses of ill repute', gambling halls and opium dens. Needless to say that there was entertainment for every taste.
After a long day working the claims, the miners would head for the bars and the red light district to spend their earnings. The mixture of money, gold and alcohol would often prove fatal. It is said that there was a man killed every day in Bodie. Presumably, the undertaker never had a slow day.
There are records that say that Wm. Body took a ship from New York, around the horn to end up in San Francisco. The name of the town was changed at some point in time, before the majority of the people made their way to Bodie. There are different stories as to why - one says it was to keep the correct pronunciation of town's namesake. Another says that the sign painter didn't have the room for the tail of the lower-case "y". Today, even though Bodie is lost down a dusty 13 mile long road, off of state highway 395, it is amazing just how many people are aware of this once glorious town.
There's a story about a little girl whose family moved from San Francisco to Bodie. Depending on who tells you, or where you read it, she wrote either: "Good, by God, I'm going to Bodie" or "Goodbye God, I'm going to Bodie". Once you get through this site, you'll have to decide for yourself.

It's always nice to dine out with friends and McCormick and Schmicks is a nice place to do it. The food is great and the service is finely tuned for women like us.
Our waiter was nice and he was very attentive too, .We were taking pics and he asked us if we would like him to take one or two with all 3 of us in the picture, I thought that was a nice touch and it got him a huge collective tip at the end of the night.
I had Chilean sea bass with some nice trimmings around the plate and opted for a beer instead of wine which is what you might expect but I had a few wee drams before our late night dining so beer was a safe bet to keep me upright. Ha!.
Friday afternoon, Manhattan, NY
Amazing how many people eat full meals from and on the street.
Having a great time, despite yesterday's cold windy weather :)
Thank's to Sophia for snapping this picture, last year, in Albany NY, on our way to lunch at the Rainbow commnity center -- too bad we don't have such a meeting place in Montréal!

It's a jungle out there
Disorder and confusion everywhere
No one seems to care
Well, I do
Hey! Who's in charge here?
It's a jungle out there
Poison in the very air we breathe
You know what's in the water that you drink?
Well I do, and it's amazing
People think I'm crazy, 'cause I worry all the time
If you paid attention, you'd be worried too
You better pay attention
Or this world you love so much might just kill you
I could be wrong now, but I don't think so!
'Cause it's a jungle out there
It's a jungle out there!

Whenever a goose falls out of formation, it suddenly feels the drag and resistance of trying to go through it alone and quickly gets back into formation to take advantage of the power of the flock.
In the fall when you see geese heading south for the winter flying in the "V" formation, you might be interested in knowing what science has discovered about why they fly that way.
It has been learned that as each bird flaps its wings, it creates uplift for the bird immediately following. By flying in a "V" formation, the whole flock adds at least 71% greater range than if each bird flew on its own.
First time in 18 years of ownership our Arab died in service, it limped back to Bury with a missfire and radiator leaking. Might be head problems.
Looks like the boys are going out for the night.
I sure hope wherever they go has air-conditioning as it is triple-digit heat outside.

Traffic on NJ Route 35 is halted for an opening of the drawbridge spanning Cheesequake Creek allowing a lone sailboat to head out to sea. Beneath the bridge, a work crew goes about their bridge repairs from a barge staged in the channel. In the background, NJ Transit train 3230 bound for New York has no problem holding to schedule as it crosses Morgan Drawbridge.
Heading out from Rowley Station at Beamish Museum is Hudswell Clarke (Leeds,UK) 0-6-0ST No.555 of 1901, a recent short-term visitor to the museum.
The shunter started life at the Port Talbot Railway & Docks Company as their No.26. The docks operation was taken over by Great Western Railway in 1908 and, when the operation was fully absorbed into GWR in 1922, this locomotive became GWR 813.
In 1934 the engine was sold to Backworth Collieries in Newcastle-upon-Tyne and was later absorbed into the fleet of the newly formed National Coal Board. In 1967 it was sold into preservation and restored to it's GWR 813 persona.
The engine was most recently returned to steam in 2016, after a six-year overhaul. It is still owned by the GWR 813 Preservation fund and is currently based at the Severn Valley Railway.
