Placing the dwarf in the middle of the track to check clearance between the train and the signal. Im Fighting to keep it there rather than on the left and one on the right. There will be another on the right of the right track. These will be repeater signals off the signals at the tunnel. This allows you to know what signal you have at the tunnel when leaving the station.

Gilman is changing all over. All the dwarf signals around Gilman are being replaced by new age boring shit! Even the approach signals on the TIp-Up are going!!!
Dwarf Cypress Spurge, or Euphorbia cyparissias 'Baby'
I bought a gallon plant a couple of years ago, and now it has taken over an entire border. But it plays well with the other plants, so I don't mind at all. The bright yellow flowers (actually bracts) are so bright at this time of year!
Not something you see everyday.
At least he was knighted, I'm sure he was chuffed to bits. Poor sod.
At 63 years old though I bet he was a bit ropey.

A close up shot of the incredibly cute Dwarf Mongoose. As the name suggests, these mongoose are very small, infact they are Africa's smallest carnivore.

Comment on the Flick album Stachys thirkei: Stachys thirkei K. Koch is a taxon that belongs to the Stachys germanica agg, which encompasses a group of very similar and variable plants. Botanists classify these into species and subspecies in various ways. The resulting nomenclatural 'confusion' can be challenging for an amateur to navigate. We refer to Nikolić (2000) (Ref. 2) for guidance.
Stachys thirkei is most similar to Stachys germanica L. The main distinguishing features include the shape of the leaves, the orientation of the calyx teeth during and after flowering, and their hairiness. Stachys thirkei typically has cuneate (wedge-shaped, gradually tapering) leaf bases, whereas Stachys germanica usually has truncated or sometimes somewhat cordate (heart-shaped) leaf bases. In the field, this is often the case; however, many plants and populations exhibit intermediate shapes, even on a single plant. The calyx teeth of Stachys thirkei are widely open at the beginning of anthesis and at the end of the blooming period, while those of Stachys germanica L. are mostly pointed. Additionally, Stachys thirkei possesses glandular hairs on the calyx teeth (see lower right corner of picture 12b), while Stachys germanica L. lacks such hairs. However, leaf shape varies in both species, making it crucial to consider several plants to determine their shape. The glandular hairs on Stachys thirkei are not very noticeable, so careful observation is required, as they are few in number and often hidden among the dense non-glandular indumentum, similar to that of Stachys germanica L.
Stachys thirkei is found in Europe and West Asia, with the largest populations in Central Dalmatia in Croatia and central Greece. It is present also in Italy and Turkey (Ref.: 5).

Picea abies 'Farnsburg' (A. Haller Nursery, Switzerland in 1970s) 2019 photo - Common Name: Dwarf Norway Spruce, Size at 10 years: 5ft., Light Green, USDA Hardiness Zone 3, In Garden Bed HR-P for 4.8 YEARS (HLG). Planted in 2015.
ACS: Picea abies 'Farnsburg' is dwarf pendulous or ground covering selection of Norway spruce with shorter-than-typical, light green needles. After 10 years of growth, a mature specimen will be staked to desired height and develop of 3 foot (1 m) wide skirt, increasing in size generally outwardly at a rate of 3 to 4 inches (7.5 - 10 cm) per year. Buchholz nursery of Gaston, Oregon describes it as being more refined than the ubiquitous 'Inversa.'
This cultivar originated as a seedling of 'Inversa' selected in the mid 1970s by R. Haller of Aarburg Switzerland.

Goldstone Deep Space Communications Complex
Fort Irwin, California
The Mars Station is the site of the largest antenna at the Goldstone Complex, a 70-meter (230 ft) diameter antenna that dwarfs its surrounding support buildings. Originally built as a 64-meter antenna in 1966, it was expanded to 70 meters in 1988 in support of the Voyager missions. The total structure stands approximately 24 stories high and weighs 7.2 million kilograms (16 million pounds). The rotation portion, which weighs nearly 4 million kilograms (8.4 million pounds), floats and moves on a thin film of hydraulic oil about 25 millimeters (.010 inch) thick. Despite its size, the antenna with its complex electronic equipment and unique mechanical systems, is a precision instrument capable of communicating with spacecraft at the edge of the solar system and beyond into interstellar space. Though this antenna was the first of its size to be built as part of NASA's Deep Space Network, identical antennas were later built in Spain and Australia. Besides being used to support deep space missions, the high gain and multiple frequency capability of this antenna makes it an extremely valuable tool for radio astronomy and radar experiments.
-------------------------
Goldstone is one of three complexes around the world known as the Deep Space Network (DSN) established to provide the ability to communicate with spacecraft; not only in orbit around the earth, but also in the farther reaches of our solar system. The Deep Space Network complexes, placed 120° apart, provide constant communication with spacecraft as the Earth rotates. In determining the exact position for the site in California, a remote location, free from radio signal interference, was needed. The remote location of the Mojave Desert in California, near the old mining town of Goldstone, was determined to be an optimal location and in 1958 the first antenna was built. Facilities near Madrid, Spain and Canberra, Australia complete the Deep Space Network providing 360 degree coverage for spacecraft tracking.
