Put together from a shelf thing in the bathroom. The toy bicycle was an unexpected gift from colleagues back at Maricopa who gave it to me after a leadership retreat in the mid 1990s to somewhere in Colorado. Those were they days when PD fell from the trees.
And the dalmatian predates Dominoe- this was form a set of three that was always in my parent's living room.
One could say Cog and Dog where pre-ordained, I just did not know it.
“No están de coger las castañas antes que ellas comiencen à caer de sus erizos, y entonces las varean, y a las que caen con sus erizos, es bueno amontonarlas asi, y estén algunos dias asi, que ellos se abren. Y aun dice el Crecentino, que estas tales se guardan mas tiempo verdes, mas si fuese lugar cerrado, donde puercos, ni javalíes pudiesen entrar, mejor sería para el arbol, y aun las castañas serian mas sazonadas, que ningun arbol madura juntamente su fruta, y aun serían sin costa, y sin peligro de los que varean dexarlas caer, y entonces están de sazon quando el erizo se abre de su gana.”
Agricultura general que trata de la labranza del campo, y sus particularidades. Alonso de Herrera, 1790
La castaña era, junto con el trigo, la base de la alimentación en toda Europa.
El castaño, Castanea sativa, ha sido un árbol básico en la vida tradicional alpujarreña. No sólo se ha utilizado profusamente su fruto sino que su madera ha sido imprescindible como leña y en la construcción.
Se cortaban los troncos principales para forzar la ramificación en ramas de menor grosos que se utilizaban principalmente como vigas.
Las casas alpujarreñas están construidas con materiales propios de la zona: el terrao (cubierta) se apoya normalmente sobre vigas de castaño que soportan las lajas de pizarra y, sobre éstas la launa (una capa grisácea de tierra arcillosa) que proporciona la impermeabilidad.
Cuenta la leyenda que a principios del XVII había en Bubión castaños tan corpulentos que en el hueco del tronco tenían cabida seis escuderos con sus caballos, y que otro incluso sirvió de morada para una familia de ¡diez hijos!

The children studied the insides of old watches before they created this paper print. They looked at cogs, wheels, levers and springs for shape.

5/2024 - My second visit to the Mt. Washington Cog Railway was unfortunately a few days before steam began running for the season. Upon my arrival, the cog diesels were making moves at Marshfield Station.

A trip to Mountain View on the Pikes Peak Cog Railway and some wild flowers once I got off. The cog train leaving me behind at Mountain View.
A short clip of me performing "Turning Japanese" at the first annual OK! Happy Cog’aoke SXSW karaoke competition (middle portion of the video that was cut short, unfortunately).
I came in 5th. Not bad. It was crazy fun. The video, unfortunately, stops 2 minutes into my performance so I don't have a complete version of me doing this song.
The undercarriage of one of the large railcars at Pikes Peak Cog Railway in Manitou Springs, CO. This was taken from "the pit" and shows one side of the front of the truck. The car barn has only one rack, so you can see the unengaged cog on the left.
Normally there are two racks set 180 degrees out of phase. This reduces the wear on the cogs and the racks. But in the car barn, which is level, there is little force needed so only one rack is present.
The Manitou and Pike's Peak Railway runs from Manitou Springs (just West of Colorado Springs, CO) to the top of Pikes Peak, 14,115' (4302m although there is controversy about the actual height of the peak). It is the highest "rack" railway in the world. For details on the Railway, see www.cograilway.com.
