CN made it official yesterday (March 20, 2017) that they plan to shutter their former C&NW (WC/UP) ore dock in Escanaba by the end of April, 2017. There is an estimated 800,000 tons still on the ground that will be moved out by boat before then. This dock faced an uncertain future after Empire's closing last fall (Tilden's pellets will route through LS&I at Marquette and some via all-rail to the Soo, which CN will still handle).

Aerial view of a well developed rip current on Baragoot Beach in southern NSW Australia. Longshore feeder currents from either side converge to flow more strongly seaward in a deeper, well defined rip channel. This in turn causes localised retreat of the sandy shoreline. The rip dissipates in deeper water just seaward of the breakpoint. Dangerous swimming, good fishing and a quick trip out the back for surfers.

We had to have our old dog Leonard put down last week due to cancer. He was 16 and a 1/2. This is an old photo from 2014.
This was Pow's tribute to Jan (ASET), from just over a year ago and now I've sadly heard of his passing too, RIP Pow.

Prof Stephen Hawking, CH CBE FRS FRSA (8 January 1942 – 14 March 2018). Rest in peace, and kudos on beating the odds and having an amazing life!
Science is not only a disciple of reason but, also, one of romance and passion - Stephen Hawking
Look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see, and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious. - Stephen Hawking
However difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at. - Stephen Hawking
I believe alien life is quite common in the universe, although intelligent life is less so. Some say it has yet to appear on planet Earth. - Stephen Hawking
I woke up today and was hit with very sad news. Christopher Lee (Count Dooku, Saruman, Dracula, etc) had passed away. Even though it is sad he is now gone, It is not. He lived a long and amazing life, and had his 93rd Birthday fairly recently. Not many people get to live long and filled lives, but Christopher Lee was able to. He played many amazing Characters, but the best roles of his are Count Dooku and Saruman. You will be missed...RIP.
In other news, I want to apologize for not uploading anything for a month. But don't worry, more things are on the way, I've just been lazy lately. Once I clean up my building area, I will start to build some stuff again. The next build I have planned is something FNAF related, so stay tuned! But yeah, thats all for now. Until next time!

I had volunteer goat feeding duties this morning at Wright-Locke Farm in Winchester, Massachusetts. I gave them some pumpkins as an appetizer before their hay. This Boer goat is called Rip, named after the tear in her ear.
Yes, the man who said the iconic Star Wars line "It's A Trap!" in Return of the jedi has sadly passed away at the age of 93...Erik Bauersfeld not only voiced Admiral Ackbar in both Return of The Jedi and The Force Awakens, but also voiced Bib Fortuna. His work will always be remembered! Rest In Peace.

Update (Jan 7, 2018): Clarke Renard passed away peacefully with family next to him. He was with out a doubt one of the nicest human beings I have ever met.
My friend Clarke Renard, who it is in end stage Pancreatic cancer. This photo was taken in early September of 2016 at Willrette Rd in rural Dekalb County, IL Clarke is one of the folks I met on Flickr in 2009/10 who got me into rail photography. One of my best summers was in 2013 when I worked with him in Lawn care. This photo was during the last time I went railfanning with him. The following text in bold is from Jason Leverton (JAYLEV on Flickr) who captioned one of his facebook photos with the following text. His words pretty much sum up Clarke's incredible will to survive, which many of us probably would have given up on, facing such long odds. Please say a prayer for the TRAINUT
This is the guy who continues to defy the odds in his fight against cancer. When doctors said he probably wouldn't make it through August, he promptly told them he would make it to the end of the year because he likes Halloween and he likes Christmas. It's now the first of the year and Clarke has reached his goal. And he has faith that God will continue to extend his life. Clarke is thankful for every day and then quietly prays for one more. Yes, his days are numbered. But so are everyone's. No one wants to think about it, but your day might even come before his. This is why all of us should be thankful for every day. Each day is a gift. Do something with it. Really. Do. Something.
We could learn a lot from dogs.
Not the kind of things that make up a curriculum-
nothing that could be graded, or pass an exam,
but useful things.
How to be happy for no reason,
how to love without diffidence.
How to grab life and squeeze out all the best bits,
of whatever scrap you’ve been flung.

Kassanndra adopted Marnie (named for several horror characters), and Penny (named for Pennywise the Dancing Clown, the cool Tim Curry version), both older dogs, from a Chihuahua rescue.
Unlike the growling, nipping stereotype of this breed, Kassanndra's dogs have been sweet and loving, never yappy or aggressive, always, to everyone.
Kassanndra made me promise, more than once, that if anything happened to her, I would take good care of her dogs.
Marnie used to march around the yard like a big patrol dog making security rounds, but she was moving a little slowly for a couple of days. Still, she was eating, drinking, and irking Penny so I chalked it up to old age finally catching up with her.
She passed away sometime during the night, after she and Penny went to bed.
I'm sure Kassanndra is looking after her again, and has introduced her to her first Chihuahua, Ruby (also a rescue).
R.I.P. Marnie. You're a good girl.
So... yeah let me know what you think. Which one is the best ?
I'm not happy with the flame (not realistic + reflections on the computer screen) but I do love the smoke around it. As you can see on the video, I had a lot of different shots, big flames, no flames, smoke, additionnal light a lot of things different. Difficult to choose ^ ^.
Some differences with first upload: the flag on the grave (which was gone on the original pic because I blow on the set, the bullet hole on the storm helmet, inscription "born to be killed" and "death squad", and the light from the fire on the AT, adding digital smoke.
Maybe I'll upload one more, let me know about that.
Thanks for the comments on the first upload.
I visited this beautiful city three weeks ago. Today I am overwhelmed by what has just happened. RIP to victims
Only 5 years old, we unexpectedly and suddenly lost this guy a few weeks ago.
There is a silence in the house that shouldn’t be here. Everywhere I look there are signs of you. Your toys, your spot where you lay at my feet, your bed, the sound of your tail thumping as I get closer to you because you’re just happy to see me.
For 5 years, you knew nothing but love. A wonderful ambassador, fighting breed discrimination and changing people’s minds again and again. I’m so proud of you and so, so heartbroken.
You showed us so much love and I’m thankful for the time you gave us. You were truly the goodest boi and I can’t believe we had to say “cya buddy” already.
It’s been a difficult time without you Broski.
RIP Leo.
Now its time for you to spring into the abyss. Give Madilyn an unsolicited kiss if you see her. Your pain is released and you're free.
After a two year battle with cancer Herman decided on Sunday morning that it was time to move on.
Although obnoxious with his disregard for social norms regarding peeing in the house, inappropriately long kisses, and sniffing the foster dogs' private business, he stayed my loyal co-pilot for the last 15 years --- welcoming hundreds of foster dogs and children through our home.
For a decade I couldn't walk anywhere around the home or yard without Herman shadowing. He spent hundreds of hours patiently resting at my feet while I edited photos.
I love you.
The tree at Sycamore Gap on Hadrian's Wall was deliberately cut down with a chainsaw by a 16 year old in the early hours of Thursday 28th September 2023. A 60 year old man has now been arrested and is being held for enquiries relating to this act.
This picture was taken in July 2014.
What can possibly be said about this happening. I wonder if we will ever hear from the perpetrators about the reasons for their actions. What could possibly have inspired the action? Who helped in the planning and execution?
Aims? Objectives? Aspirations? Results?
Was this a scream from one generation about the crimes committed by another? Or was it just a mindless, meaningless act of vandalism? I am not trying to justify the action. It has appalled me, but I would like to know why.
In the media this morning there was mention of the fact that the tree may not be dead, and could grow again from the stump. It will surely become a symbol for the future, but in a different way to the one of it being a symbol for the past.
Glad I am so busy, so I don't have to think about this. MAD Magazine and I had a great run. 30 plus years! One of the best clients I ever had. All good things come to an end. What, me worry?
