ODC-Rhyming Slang
I've never heard of Rhyming Slang before, so thought I'd go with rhyming words. This is one of my little Christmas ornaments.

Normally I'd judge this too blurry to upload, but it's a tough shot and I don't take the right train very often so this is probably the best I'll get...

My previous photo, which makes reference to "sprinkles," plunged me into a debate on whether they should be called "sprinkles," or "jimmies" or (heaven forbid) "hundreds and thousands."
That reminded me of an even more profound fissure in American culture: The Great Soft Drink Nomenclature Debate.
This map was created by Matthew Campbell and Prof. Greg Plumb of East Central University in Oklahoma. The original version of this image is clickable, to reveal county-by-county statistical data.
And let the record show: It's called soda both in my native New Jersey and here in my adopted home of California. I would have it no other way.

River Dargle Flood Defence Scheme.
These images were taken during the first week of September, 2016.
Constant traffic nowadays with hard material being trucked in and dumped in storage areas along The Slang/Rehills section of the river bank.
Further work is now being undertaken to upgrade the protection of the riverbank edge with the laying down of extra stone material.
Work has finished on the construction of the 'debris trap' in the river bed, opposite the Rivervale Apartments complex. This work was begun a few years ago, and halted with the creation of a pit, and the placement of (what I like to call) the 8 Dargle Dolmen stones (upright pillars) - 4 of which are immediately visible to the eye.
The ‘Debris Trap’ consists of 12 concrete elliptical shaped columns approximately 1.6m (5ft) high spaced 0.5m apart across the river channel -- essential for trapping any trees or other objects which may flow down the river in flood conditions.
To create proper foundations for the columns, the guys had to drive steel piles deep into the bed of the river. Similar to work done elsewhere. Within that waterproof chamber, they set/poured concrete to build the columns.
That pile driving work here involved a sub-contractor using an excavator-mounted vibratory pile driver – possibly a ‘Movax’ model. That’s the combination they used in 2014 with the work opposite La Vallee.
