03.05 -- photo by LETR -- This year's Snow Bowl Flag Football Tournament, the 10th annual 6-on-6 format tournament, offered players an opportunity to compete inside the NY Giants Quest Diagnostics Training Center and hang out at MetLife Stadium, while raising funds and awareness for Special Olympics New Jersey. Thanks to our host, the New York Football Giants, and presenting sponsor, Wyndham Worldwide.
Best roller coaster EVER. Well, since they took away the backwards trains from The Racer. Jerks. Son of Beast is close, but there is no ambiance to the train station. Very Stainless steel. That, and they took the loop out before I could ride it :(

This is the house built for my great-great grandfather Robert Thompson by his brother, Miles Thompson, the Kendal architect.
You can see the to of the stairs leading down into Collin Croft on the left of the house, beneath the the white doors.
The area above the stairs was the warehouse designed for the china business started by my great-great grandmother, Agnes Thompson (nee Rudd) in about 1850.
This weekend up Taylor saw very little action in the sky. Eddie wanted grand sunset skies with immediate clearing so he could try a star sweep. Touchy with the call fors. Therefore, this is an unedited image from a previous outing up the Taylor Road. No telling how long the road remains in good shape. Eddie was bummed that the Beast might not make it up the road if it deteriorates again. He got word that the timbering company might return the road to original. Me, I doubt the company would add free labor to the forest road when they are done doing so little improvement to the forest. Certainly, they crimped the pine beetle's path very little. Once the pine beetle is done, we can finally let mother nature limit the problem with a massive fire, There may be no budget to fight a massive fire by then to save remote cabins for the rich few. That will be a shock when there is no more money to throw at the rich. Eddie thinks there should be no enclaves in the forest. Their improvements to the road didn't plan for a quality long term road. There's little the forest service can do more poorly but that doesn't mean that they can't try.
The sprinkles in the evening were just a shade away from graupel. Eddie claims the temp dropped to 39 which means there was no way I could possibly break out my down bag if I don't want to sweat. Eddie was fiddling with the propane heater so he could heat the Beast up to 70 which I admit did feel pretty good. Heck that's where the M&Ms always are so who am I to argue. I did set the camper up for a break. It has been a while since it has been up. The tent could have been toast but was just dirty and needed exercising. Not everything was copaseptic.
This shot in early light shows Eddie's Beast. I wonder what will happen if Eddie gets it just the way he wants and it looks like him. Or the sheet metal falls off. Whichever happens first. The sky was as good as the sky got. Dizzy Eddie is still looking over the bitter edge. I don't think he can do anything about the sky from there. It looks like there is enough moisture to produce clouding. Last night Eddie and I arrived to find nobody was camped at the overlook and I sandbagged or spot. Eddie came up next with his extra poxability. I might have poxed him with this post.
And why did I get up early?

my submission to Beasts Book 2. Didn't make the cut, but had to try!
The Basket Ogress of Upper Skagit Valley Native legend. She collects children in her basket (which has snakes woven into it, so they can't escape) and roasts them heated rocks like clams. This character has fascinated me for a while- I hope to have my mini about her finished in time for MoCCA 2008.

Was out doing a photowalk in London last night and was just trying to develop some photographic layouts. It was so cold here tonight it was not pleasurable to stay out shooting photos. I did my best, but needed rest after a long flight and no sleep. Tomorrow is another day!
Probably 1507-25
The Dacre Beasts were commissioned by Lord Thomas Dacre (1467-1525) in about 1520 and were displayed in the rebuilt hall at Naworth Castle, Cumbria. He was a formidable soldier who fought on the side of Henry Tudor against Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth and with the Earl of Surrey against the French and the Scots at the Battle of Flodden in 1513. Lord Dacre's prowess was epitomized by the battle cry "a read bull, a read bull, a Dacre, a Dacre".
In 1488 Lord Dacre eloped with Elizabeth Greystoke (1471-1516), the heiress to the baronies of Greystoke and Fitzwilliam. Through his marriage Lord Dacre acquired Morpeth Castle and the manor of Henderskelfe, later rebuilt as Castle Howard. In 1577 Lord William Howard, son of the Duke of Norfolk, married Elizabeth Dacre and the Dacre properties have descended in the Howard family. The black gryphon represents Lord Dacre's forebears, the Dacres of Gilsland. The barony of Gilsland was acquired through Ranulph de Dacre's marriage to Margaret de Multon in 1317. Ranulph de Dacre received a licence to crenellate Naworth in 1335. The beasts thus demonstrate the antiquity of the Dacres-one of the most powerful Northern families-and the importance of two dynastic marriages.
They were probably made by local craftsmen from oak grown on the estate, although the names of the carvers and painters have not been recorded. Their design is derived from contemporary grants of arms to the Dacre, de Multon and Greystoke families. Dendrochronological analysis recently demonstrated that the single trunk of oak from which all four beasts were carved was felled between 1499 and 1549. Testing of the polycrhrome decoration has revealed at least three successive paintings on the Bull, the Ram and the Dolphin. Samples from the earliest decoration contain pigments available in the first quarter of the 16th century and are likely to form part of the original decoration. The Dacre Beasts have remained in the hall at Naworth since the early 16th century.
The present decoration dates from the 1840s and was executed after the fire at Naworth of 1844. The staves and coats of arms held by the beasts also date from the mid-19th century. The present appearance of the Dacre Beasts reflects mid-19th century antiquarian interest. They were rescued from a major fire at Naworth in 1844, and restored in 1849 under the careful supervision of the Victorian architect Anthony Salvin (1799-1881) who wanted the new work to marry as closely as possible with the old. Repainting of the Dacre Beasts was done by a Mr Wilkinson.
