Instead of the typical "horse-powered" horse carriage, this one uses a donkey...because horses are too mainstream.
Shade bombed because of a late acting shutter on my camera but NS 9919 is one the last few C44-9W's NS received and leads a UP SD70M. Not in the frame is the bottom two units, NS 3096 and NS 930 our infamous yard slug set usually used on G68 and G70.
and it was delicious =P =/ =) >_< XD (I don't know what emoticon to put there ;P)
✔10) Licking something
umm... so if you haven't already closed and burned this page, let me say that I'm not too sure how long this'll be up here... now for the love of God, click away. Click away from this horrid place! =P also, this is SOOC Auto-Fixed in Picnik -- thanks Ana ;)
(now cropped as well)
#Because of the #storms going through the #bayArea and continue to do so , #wind and #rain has #caused #damage all around the #lake
Sugar and spice and everything nice, ribbons and curls because she's a girl.

Posted one without the texture - please let me know which one you like best!!
Thanks to Skeletal Mess for the awesome texture.
Because of the A6Ms exceptional range and performance, it would see action in every naval engagement in the Pacific theater of the war. The Zero became less effective once the Allies began exploiting its weaknesses, notably its lack of armor and self-sealing gas tanks. By 1943, improved American fighters had closed the performance gap. Mitsubishi responded with redesigns of the Zero. The later A6M5 had structural modifications to allow for faster diving speeds and an improved exhaust system that provided increased power.

Because Christ also suffered for sins once, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring you to God; being put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit... ~ 1 Peter 3:18. World English Bible®. Photographed at The Dahlia Garden in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco.
“The Dumpire”
So called because of the Superintendent from 1944 until 1966 of the Physical & Tropical Testing Laboratories and the Component Group later Applied Physics, GWA Dummer.
Motto “Anything the climate can do we can do it better”
Dummer’s experience of failure rates in radar due to a number of causes including overheating, soldier joints breaking, components coming loose and breaking during transport, water ingress, mould growth, etc; led to an interest in rigorous testing.
From WW2 up to the end of the 1960’s Britain still had a worldwide Defence roll. Equipment had to operate reliably in all climates. It ran TTE (Tropical Testing Establishments) outposts in Khartoum to test dry heat and dust conditions and the West African Tropical Testing Establishment in Nigeria for humidity and fungus growth. As Empire retreated all of these facilities together with physical conditions such as shock, vibration and altitude were replicated in A & J buildings by a wide range of systems in order to test a wide variety of systems.
There was a solar radiation lab; facilities to drop, bump and vibrate equipment:

I chose this picture because it was slighly different than most pictures taken of September 11. The picture only shows the after math just after the second town fell. The picture seems almost creepier than those showing the plans striking the buildings because just looking at this picture, you don't know what happened. You just know something devestating happened. The picture was taken by the NYC Police Aviation Unit that was in the air after the the first plane hit. This particular picture was not released until 2010. I like the fact that this picture doesn't tell you what happened. This picture only shows the after math of the incident.
I really liked the way the smoke just seemed to roll through the city away from ground Zero. The picture doesn't show the planes or the injured people, or the tattered flags, it just shows the the city. It shows the city being torn apart and coated in debris. It shows the city silent. The smoke reaches up taller than some of the surrounding builings givng the impression that what ever it was the caused the smoke was huge. Which it was, obviously. The angle that this picture was taken from makes the entire city seem dark. The looming cloud gives the appearence that it is going to take over the entire city.
July 17, 2019 - I decided my kitchen needed a facelift. This all started because my dishwasher detergent cup no longer locks it broke in late June. The dishwasher was in the house when I purchased it in 1995. It is probably 30 - 35 years old so it was time to replace it. I was just going to replace the dishwasher however the previous owners put a new tile floor in which blocks the dishwasher from being easily replaced. I was never content with my kitchen the only work I have done to it was to replace the original drop-in oven which didn't work when I bought the house and the matching harvest gold exhaust hood was replaced with a white exhaust hood. I painted the walls yellow in 1996. The oven I bought in 1995 died in March 2018 so the oven is only a year old. I also replaced the kitchen faucet last August. I thought about just maintaining the faucet but decided to upgrade to a faucet with a pullout sprayer.
I engaged KitchenSaver to replace the cabinet doors and drawer fronts, countertop and sink. I want the kitchen to look brand new so hired a contractor to strip nearly 100 years worth of paint off the pantry and basement doors, door frames, window, window frame and sill and repaint the woodwork and walls. The contractor will also be installing wood base since the base was removed by a previous owner. I am also installing a Subway tile white backsplash which will go up to the bottom of the wall cabinets and on either side of the window.
I am a retired architect and it was fun getting back into design. I knew exactly what I wanted and took me no time at all to select everything.
I am going with an Arts and Crafts oak cabinet and drawer fronts. The wood stain is nearly a perfect match to the house woodwork and my furniture. Door and drawer pulls are bronze/copper in the Arts and Crafts style.
I also bought new light fixtures for the kitchen and dining room both with a bronze finish. KitchenSaver will be installing five dimmable LED lights below the cabinets and above the sink.
I decided to add a recycling/trash cabinet and pantry cabinet to fill in the dead space between the refrigerator and wall this necessitated the removal of the existing quad outlet that the refrigerator is plugged into. (no outlet behind the refrigerator) In order to do any electrical work in my house I had to bring the existing electrical circuit breaker panel up to current codes. Which meant I needed to replace the existing electrical circuit breaker panel. I had a duplex outlet added behind the refrigerator. With the new circuit breaker panel I now can use the microwave oven and toaster oven at the same time. What a concept! I also replaced the old fashion knob and tube light switch which controls the basement light. The old switch scared me and wasn't safe.
New window treatments for the backdoor and window. I wasn't able to find a blind which matches the Sherwin Williams Indian White SW 1035 paint color so I am going with a Levelor Cordless Cellular blind that is an exact match to the Sherwin Williams Koi Pond SW 7727 wall color.
One last improvement the contractor got paint stripper on the existing oven exhaust hood so I replaced the hood with a new black hood which matches the oven.
called so because it happens to be located along U.N. Avenue. It's also near Instituto Cervantes and WHO.
Used a Leica Elmarit R 19mm f2.8 lens on the Canon 7D. The EXIF info is in error because I am using an adapter.
Random photo of Haley I thought of..You'll see a few more of these :)

Because of the extreme weather conditions, in this case a blizzard, President Howard Taft’s inauguration was moved into the Capitol building. March 4, 1909.
Library of Congress.
Because it was a 3 day weekend and so many RVs were out and about, we didn't get a site with 'full hook-up' for the 3 nights we were here. Apart from not being able to use the toaster, it didn't make much difference. Every RV park we stayed in had excellent washroom / toilet facilities - usually with sufficient hot water.

Last Saturday, I went to see The Retro Event. Because of my work I arrived there just one hour before the end of event. Things there, just my household items so familiar to me and I thought, hum... I have lots of toys already! HaHa! As it was near end I could find some good deals. These are the ones I got with very good prices. Nice souvenir for the event. McFarlane The Flash Batman Modern Suit figure, Transformers Ultra Magnus, this one is my son's pick remembering his mum bought him this when he was a child and Playmobil Knight Rider K.I.T.T. all in good condition. Nice~~
Resembling a nightmarish beast rearing its head from a crimson sea, this celestial object is actually just a pillar of gas and dust. Called the Cone Nebula (in NGC 2264) - so named because in ground-based images it has a conical shape - this monstrous pillar resides in a turbulent star-forming region. This picture, taken by the newly installed Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) aboard the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, shows the upper 2.5 light-years of the Cone, a height that equals 23 million roundtrips to the Moon. The entire pillar is seven light-years long. Radiation from hot, young stars (located beyond the top of the image) has slowly eroded the nebula over millions of years. Ultraviolet light heats the edges of the dark cloud, releasing gas into the relatively empty region of surrounding space. There, additional ultraviolet radiation causes the hydrogen gas to glow, which produces the red halo of light seen around the pillar. A similar process occurs on a much smaller scale to gas surrounding a single star, forming the bow-shaped arc seen near the upper left side of the Cone. This arc, seen previously with the Hubble telescope, is 65 times larger than the diameter of our Solar System. The blue-white light from surrounding stars is reflected by dust. Background stars can be seen peeking through the evaporating tendrils of gas, while the turbulent base is pockmarked with stars reddened by dust. Over time, only the densest regions of the Cone will be left. But inside these regions, stars and planets may form. The Cone Nebula resides 2500 light-years away in the constellation Monoceros. The Cone is a cousin of the M16 pillars, which the Hubble telescope imaged in 1995. Consisting mainly of cold gas, the pillars in both regions resist being eroded away by the blistering ultraviolet radiation from young, massive stars. Pillars like the Cone and M16 are common in large regions of star birth. Astronomers believe that these pillars may be incubators for developing stars. The ACS made this observation on 2 April 2002. The colour image is constructed from three separate images taken in blue, near-infrared, and hydrogen-alpha filters. Image credit: NASA, the ACS Science Team (H. Ford, G. Illingworth, M. Clampin, G.
