A view from the US 30 overpass at Union Grove of UP's M-CLPR had former Chicago and North Western SD40-2 6855 and a leased MPI SD40 on a hot and muggy day in the summer of 1996.
Standing on this bridge was an exercise is dodging semis and even moronic drivers occasionally yelling "JUMP!".
I would not stand here today for anything on Union Pacific's current roster but for a North Western SD40-2, I risked it all.
No claims as to authenticity !

Ciao sono Simonetta e voglio parlarvi e dirvi quanto mi mancate, quanto mi rattrista l'idea di non potervi dedicare il tempo che vorrei dedicarvi e vorrei dedicarmi.
I giorni ovviamente scorrono frenetici e questa settimana a lavoro è anche tornato il capo.
Per rendervi partecipi della mia vita vi dico solo che faccio le 4.30 ogni notte studiando (notte da leoni..? no no anche la notte da coglioni).
Detto ciò capitemi. Perdonatemi.
Vi voglio bene.
Simonetta sommersa da libri, prigione, sonno e dolori.

We misjudge risk if we feel we have some control over it, even if it's an illusory sense of control.

My son made a piece of art centered around the apparatus that was removed from my hip after a parachuting accident in the early 80s.
The title "Misjudged" perfectly labels the actions that led to the accident...
9 months ago, I built a stone golem and a bustling fungus from the game Risk of Rain 2. I was recently inspired by a back-and-forth with a buddy of mine who built a wonderful model of REX that I modified to make my own. This time, I present a minifig-scale representation of Titanic Plains, featuring REX, Commando, and a couple drones amongst various items and containers from the game.

There came a time when the risk to remain tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. [Anais Nin]

Penguins are both timid and fearless. On land, these Gentoo Penguins roam relatively fearless, with no predators. In the water however, sea lions, leopard seals, and killer whales enjoy a tasty penguin snack. Killer whales work with the other members of their pod to coordinate attacks, going so far to try to bump into the ice from below to try to knock a penguin off.
When penguins get close to water, be it at the edge of an ice berg or some rocks like here, there always seems to be some hesitation. Inevitably, one brave (or clumsy) penguin will dive into the water. Within moments, all the other neighboring penguins will follow suit.
It can be pretty comical watching these little hesitation rituals play out. In this case, the penguins were walking in one direction, and would then change their mind and start walking back. After going back and forth a few times, they eventually leapt into the water.

Environmental campaigners from across Dorset to protest about the continued extraction of oil in Poole Harbour by Perenco. Daniel Glennon from Extinction Rebellion Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole (XR BCP), said that “local groups from Wimborne (XRW), Purbeck (XRP), and Dorchester, Weymouth and Portland (XR DWP), supported the event, demonstrating against the continued high-risk pumping of oil in the harbour.”

"Work-acquired infectious diseases are among the risks all healthcare workers face; and bloodborne pathogens figure prominently among these. Occupational exposure to blood and body fluids is well documented among healthcare workers. Annual exposure prevalence rates range from 1,500 nurses employed on 40 units in 20 hospitals, poor organizational climate and high workloads were associated with 50% to 200% increases in the likelihood of needlestick injuries and near-misses among hospital nurses."

As nurses we work in an environment that will kill us. We understand that,. We use protection and procedures to reduce risk, and we come to work with the same mission as always. Usually to save or help some ungrateful son of a bitch who doesn't deserve our assistance. Some drug using wife beating ignorant pseudo criminal who views us and health care in general with suspicion and contempt. Some ignorant person to whom knowledge and education are evil and unnecessary. And to those who firmly think nurses are a sub-class of humanity and who would "report us to administration" and "have our jobs" because we don't offer them Demerol every hour for their little aches and pains. Never mind that many nurses including myself work more hours than we sleep, often in a great deal of unmedicated pain ourselves. But I digress.....
Tonight I discovered a fascinating fact. I was hoping to find the actual infection and death rate of health care workers among the statistics at the CDC. Instead I found this statement......
"Recent experiences with severe acute respiratory syndrome
and the US smallpox vaccination program have
demonstrated the vulnerability of healthcare workers to
occupationally acquired infectious diseases. However,
despite acknowledgment of risk, the occupational death
rate for healthcare workers is unknown. In contrast, the
death rate for other professions with occupational risk, such
as police officer or firefighter, has been well defined. With
available information from federal sources and calculating
the additional number of deaths from infection by using
data on prevalence and natural history, we estimate the
annual death rate for healthcare workers from occupational
events, including infection, is 17–57 per 1 million workers.
However, a much more accurate estimate of risk is
needed. Such information could inform future interventions,
as was seen with the introduction of safer needle products.
This information would also heighten public awareness of
this often minimized but essential aspect of patient care."

I began my search for statistics this evening because I began my own personal nightmare today. I was exposed to most of the dread diseases and killer viruses that our profession has to offer. Not because I did anything stupid, but because others did. The only stupid thing I did was report to work believing that the risks were low, that the system would support me if there was an exposure, and that my personal protective equipment was sufficient.

The boys are all agog at Irwell Vale waiting for a passing train. They were lucky as the weather has changed and the East Lancs Railway are sending out their mobile bonfires again now that the lineside fire risk is reduced.
They were rewarded with 80079 on a passenger service and a GWR tank on a dining car train.

BTW, both the boys share toys but Baobao seems to like this one more than Beibei.

A few years ago, I took a chance before work on a sunny Sunday, and headed for the West End of the B&M. The risk paid off after only a short wait when I caught eastbound 16R emerging from Hoosac Tunnel. Here, they cross the Deerfield River to enter East Deerfield yard and conclude an easy 30-mile chase.
NS power certainly wouldn't be my first choice, but on the West End you take what you can get, especially when the light's good.
