"He lowered his panties and in my esteem" - language quirks
The donkey says : what is the opposite of contrary ?
A curious sensory quirk is how smooth is soft sometimes. This bit of driftwood has been so perfectly polished by the sea that it somehow seems more giving. Appealing little illusion. I think a lot about texture and touch when I'm out wandering. I often wonder why we talk so much about what's seen and heard in nature, but act like tactile input isn't worth discussing. Maybe because it's so hard to get across. I can show an image and play a sound that will do a pretty good job at sharing how it was in the moment. But I can't make you feel what I felt. How the rolling cold fog cooled my skin, as hot sun tried hard to beat it back with warmth. The smooth roughness of that concrete bridge, the sandpaper divots of those beach rocks. The information informing emotional intensity — I'll be the writer admitting words can't do it. Brown Brook below runs at barely above a trickle. I dip my fingers to feel the spring water chill coming from somewhere deep in the woods, and everything seems just a little like dreaming.

Cabinet Card Portrait of Gentleman from the Photographic Studio James Quirk at Mill Street, in Grass Valley, California.

RD14789. Among the numerous weird and wonderful devices to be seen at the Ffestiniog Railway's 'Quirks & Curiosities II' gala weekend was SAMSOM, a recreation of the original locomotive of this name built by Stephen Lewin in Poole in 1874.
It was built for the London Lead Company's Cornish Hush lead mine in Co. Durham. It only had a short working life operating over a one mile long tramway until the mine closed in 1904. It was of unusual design resembling a traction engine with crankshaft and flywheel drive.
The original was 1ft 10in gauge, but this replica built at the Beamish Openair Museum, is 2ft gauge which mean that it can make guest appearances on other railways. The Beamish recreation was produced from one photograph and two engravings of the original.
During the Festiniog's 'Q&CII' gala weekend it was on display and steaming up and down in Minffordd Yard.

Wooloongabba – Stanley St – 21.9.67 D17 N°75 leads PB15 N° 747 across Stanley Street on 21st September 1967. Both engines are bound for South Brisbane where they will work afternoon suburban passenger trains. The Brisbane Cricket Ground is on the left.
I took this photo during an evening visit to Ypsilanti on June 13, 2013. The Quirk House is one of several lovely mansions along
Huron Street, Ypsilanti's main north-south thoroughfare. The house is now occupied by a law firm.
The original house (to the right) was built ca. 1860 in a cubic Italianate style. The substantial addition, to the left in my photo, was
added in 1927. Quirk House.
2nd Infantry Division’s Battery F, 333rd Field Artillery, 1st Battalion, 15th Field Artillery, 302nd Brigade Support Battalion and 62nd Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Company are the final four softball teams to compete in the annual Memorial Day Softball Tournament on May 26 at Camp Red Cloud’s Second to None Field. Col. John M. Scott, Commander, U.S. Army Garrison Red Cloud and Area I and Command Sgt. Maj. Patrick M. Quirk, garrison’s senior enlisted leader congratulates each player with an Area I coin and awards trophies to HHB 1/15 FA as the new champions and plaques to 62nd CBRN as the runner-ups.
A sour gas handling facility in the Alberta foothills just south of Bragg Creek AB. The plant is operated by 70% Exxon-owned Imperial Oil; Shell and Pengrowth Energy Trust are partners. The plant handles gas and NGLs (natural gas liquids) from multiple foothills fields, the largest of which is Rundle.
Nukku C17s N°917 & N°997 – 29.11.69 The Brisbane Valley Line was dieselized on Sunday 30th November 1969. Under the previously operating steam timetable, three engines were stabled at Yarraman over the weekend. Those engines had to be returned to Ipswich as there would be no work for them with the new arrangements. One was despatched as an attached engine on 359Dn goods on Friday 28th November and the other two worked a special out of Yarraman on Saturday afternoon. Here C17s N°917 and N°997 are seen with that train near Nukku on 29th November 1969.
5035 - South Brisbane – September 1969 Standard Goods engine 5035 shunts the cars for the Limited Express at South Brisbane Interstate station in September 1969.
Clapham 3122 October 1969 Until November 1970, the NSWGR kept steam engines at Yeerongpilly to carry out shunting at Clapham and South Brisbane (Interstate) and to work local trains between those places. In latter years it was normally Standard Goods engines of the 50 and 53 classes that were utilized but occasionally other types put in brief appearances. Here in October 1969, one such stranger, 3122 shunts at the southern end of Clapham yard.
DELs 1611 and 1609 lead 59Down livestock train through typical country between Saltern and Barcaldine on a Sunday afternoon in February 1972. The train had commenced its journey from Winton earlier in the day. At Barcaldine it will almost double its present size with local loadings and wagons from Aramac. The leading vehicle is a NWB that had compartments for drover and guard as well as accommodation for 156 sheep.
...made this quirky piece last night while trying to wrap my head around creating a flyer for the next Hushpuppy Gallery show on the 19th... it'll be done today... promise!
AC16 Nº 221A hauls an excursion train along the Vernor Shelf between Fernvale and Lowood on 9th July 1967
A perfectly normal saddle tank loco hides behind a sail-powered 'loco' and the smallest 2ft gauge coach (complete with coal stove) in the country. Standing by the sailcar is a 50 year old Dorothea Quarry mac, worn by the eccentric and reclusive Welsh narrow gauge pioneer Commander Basil Cadwalladr (RN) Retd. His ill-fated Gorseddau Interurban railway has become a legend in n.g. circles, remembered almost as fondly as his Nantlle & Rhyd-ddu Atmospheric Tramway.

Lain's prompt for today drove me crazy. I'm entirely too OCD to try and purposely mess up part of my layout, so I made it about my personal imperfections.
I suppose I did take part...I mixed black solid cardstock with the patterned browns and that's not natural. And I angled my photo, but I actually liked it that way. Perhaps I did do the challenge!
This is the digitally stitched layout but you can see the individual pages in my gallery.
Journaling reads:
"I am not even close to being a perfect person. I've got LOTS of little quirks that make me unique. Some of them are quite random...I think they make me perfectly imperfect! I do NOT like my food to touch on my plate-in fact, whenever possible I use multiple plates. There are separate spots in my tomach for each item. I ALWAYS have extra hairties around my wrists-usually black ones. Asymmetrical things bother me...but I love odd numbers. I despise avacados but LOVE guacamole. I wear flip flops all year long-I live in Ohio. I am seriously C-D-O - that's OCD, but I put the letters in alphabetical order like they should be. I text a lot but I NEVER abbreviate words. I have to hold my pen a certain way and usually make a little squiggle before I start writing. I've worn an apron in EVERY job I've ever had. I lock my car doors as soon as I get in because I'm afraid of falling out. I have three alarms and three reminders set for events & wake ups. My dream job would be naming new colors of paint or crayons. I randomly get a southern accent. Little quirks-little pieces of me. Documented : February 20 . 2011"
