35 Degrees celsius in the house. You can't even think of going outside. No clouds and the sun doesn't have any mercy at all. I have been drinking tropical flavored water one glass after the other. Sitting on the stoep drawing my foot and the water bottle.
This young man was asleep on the train from Manchester. I pulled out my sketch book and took a pen to the scene, only to have another young man behind me tap twice on my shoulder. When I removed my headphones, he leaned in and said, "His name's Daniel." We got to talking and then spent the whole train ride down chatting. They are part of a dance troupe who had performed in Manchester. Great guy. I only met the subject of the photo briefly after we stopped at Euston Station, but seemed nice. Shout out to their dance troupe: Transitions

Name: Jack
Species: Virginia Opossum
Sex: Male
Location from: Ohio
Other: An adult male that dropped dead in my barn when I lived in a rural area in Ohio. He was found in the morning, already beginning to decay, likely died early in the night before. He has evidence of a severe infection in his lower left jaw, and a broken right top canine with sign of beginning infection in the bone of the root canal of the same tooth. His incisors are missing post mortem.
Species Info: Opossums are known for their playing-dead characteristic, which helps preserve them when faced with a threat. They have an unusually short lifespan of up to 2 years (4 in captivity) and are omnivorous, preferring fruit, grain, insects, worms, and small animals like birds and snakes.
Opossum are native to Central and East North America and most of Mexico. They are not native to West US, but a small percentage have been introduced. Opossums do not do well in cold environments and thus are not found in the majority of Canada or North-West states.
Roslindale Substation
Boston, Massachusetts
Listed 8/27/2013
Reference Number: 13000621
The Roslindale Substation was one of five alternating current to direct current electric converting substations to go online after completion of the alternating current-generating South Boston Power Station. The location of the substation in Roslindale reflects the growth and development of this area of the city at the turn of the century, as well as the development of the city's transportation system. The building was designed by architect RobertS. Peabody and Stone & Webster Engineers, who were also responsible for the construction. The design and decorative details illustrate the pride taken in Boston' s cutting-edge electrical system for its expansive transit system, which was one of the first in the country. The building is not only an example of the work of Peabody, together with Stone & Webster, but also is a well-preserved example of their work in the Classical Revival style. Construction of the building began in early 1911; it was completed and in service by November of 1911 (see Illustration 1). The building operated as a substation until1971, when it was taken out of service. It has remained vacant since that time. The substation and its counterparts played an important role in Boston' s transit history. The building and larger electrical system were designed and constructed by internationally known architects and engineers. The Roslindale Substation retains integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association, and is individually eligible for listing in the National Register ofHistoric Places at the local level under Criteria A and C. The area surrounding the Roslindale Substation, Roslindale Village, is potentially eligible for listing in the National Register as a district, as it is the commercial and community center of the neighborhood of Roslindale.

Recent research by the Airfield Research group has revealed that building was nicknamed "Dragon Mountain" by base personnel, Not the often quoted "Magic Mountain" . The first reference to Magic Mountain is in the research notes for the listing of the Building and is in error. The Dragon Mountain name makes more sense as the U2/TR-1 aircraft are nicknamed "The Dragon Lady" and personnel with the 17th RW called themselves "Dragon Keepers"
"The Avionics building, constructed c. 1989 by US Air Force, is a two storey, partly sunken reinforced concrete bunker, rectangular in plan. The building accommodates a drive-through access roadway and is capped with a rough concrete buster cap designed to absorb the impact of a missile before penetrating the bunker's roof.
INTERIOR: The purpose of the avionics building was to service the electronic components of reconnaissance aircraft and process the data retrieved. The interior of the building housed life support systems, stainless steel decontamination rooms, electronics workshops, photographic dark rooms, handling and storage areas. It is protected internally by subterranean 'portcullis' type blast doors on a hydraulic release mechanism. By the main doors are a suite of decontamination rooms and male and female toilets. An internal vehicular decontamination facility is also present. Large rooms on the lower floor housed the computers (now removed) where the data was downloaded and analysed. One of these rooms has a painted motto 'Aircrews live by the knowledge, skill, awareness and integrity of their maintenance people' over the door. A unique feature is the system for maintaining air pressure in the case of attack, by the use of compressed air cylinders on the lower floor, still present. All fixtures and fittings apart from the air cylinders and generators, floor surfaces, wall panelling and doors have been removed.
HISTORY: Land for an airfield at Alconbury was first acquired in 1938 as a satellite landing ground for RAF Upwood and when war broke out, the base was used by Blenheims from RAF Wyton. As part of the US 8th Air Force, it fulfilled a variety of roles until being handed back to the RAF in November 1945. In June 1953, the base was reactivated for the US 3rd Air Force and from 1959, Alconbury assumed its principal Cold War role as the home to various reconnaissance squadrons. In 1983, U2/TR-1 spy planes were permanently based at Alconbury, resulting in the construction of a number of hardened structures including the Avionics building and a number of Hardened Aircraft Shelters which have group value. Following the cessation of the Cold War, flying ceased in March 1995 and the base was released for disposal.

SUMMARY OF IMPORTANCE: The hardened Avionics building at Alconbury airfield was constructed by the US Air Force in 1989. It is a very rare surviving example of this building type, and along with other buildings from this period, represents the physical manifestation of the global division between capitalism and communism that shaped the history of the late 20th century. The Avionics building is unique amongst the few such buildings in England, because of its size, form and internal survival of the vehicular decontamination unit and compressed air re-pressurising system. It is uniquely associated with the U2/TR1 aircraft, stationed only at Alconbury. As one of the last Cold War structures built in the country, it is the most sophisticated hardened structure remaining and as such has very special architectural and historic interest.
