Eighty cylinders worth of nice-looking EMD SD45s drum past with a southbound Wisconsin Central freight just north of Duplainville, Wisconsin, on a cold, wintery January 31, 1996.

Here is the depression-era suspension walking bridge in Richfield County Park, built in 1938. A WPA project in the county made this possible. It is standing the test of time, as many of the WPA-CCC builds do all across the USA.
Some decades are bigger than others. Well, maybe big 80's hair will make a comeback. Or how about a neo-Miami Vice. What was your favorite 80's show?
BTW, this area around Hollywood Blvd. and Highland Ave. has dramatically improved since the 80's.

Eighties, I'm living in the eighties
Eighties, I have to push, I have to struggle
Eighties, get out of my way, I'm not for sale no more
Eighties, let's kamikaze 'til we get there
And we sang
You do it this way
Eighties, by day we run by night we dance, we do
Eighties, I'm in love with the coming race
Eighties, I've got the best, I'll take all I can get
Eighties, I'm living for the eighties
Eighties, I'm living in the eighties, I push
Eighties, I'm living
Eighties, I'm living in the eighties, I struggle
Eighties, I'm living
Eighties, I'm living
Eighties, I'm living in the eighties
Eighties, I'm living in the eighties, I push
Eighties, push, push, struggle
Eighties, I'm living
Eighties, eighties, I'm living
Eighties, I'm living in the eighties, I push

163rd MMM "BOOK TITLES" Challenge
Nineteen Eighty-Four (also published as 1984) is a dystopian social science fiction novel and cautionary tale by English writer George Orwell. It was published on 8 June 1949 by Secker & Warburg as Orwell's ninth and final book completed in his lifetime. Thematically, it centres on the consequences of totalitarianism, mass surveillance and repressive regimentation of people and behaviours within society.
The story takes place in an imagined future in the year 1984, when much of the world is in perpetual war. Great Britain, now known as Airstrip One, has become a province of the totalitarian superstate Oceania, which is led by Big Brother, a dictatorial leader supported by an intense cult of personality manufactured by the Party's Thought Police. Through the Ministry of Truth, the Party engages in omnipresent government surveillance, historical negationism, and constant propaganda to persecute individuality and independent thinking.
It would be foolish not to acknowledge the physical decay that inevitably comes with old age. The brain is physical too, so it is included here. The task is to develop a way of life and a mentality corresponding to these changes. And that is more difficult than it sounds. Leica M8, Elmar 4/135 at F8.
It would be even more foolish to give up on humour, laughter, curiosity and sociability. If you can, that is. Even if wisdom does not come with old age (at least, it hasn't come to me) we do at least have a large repertoire of ways of looking. All in all, it is not that bad to be old.

Eighty Mac Attack: four SD80MACs, the 7215-7210-7204-7208, stop to check their brakes at AR Tower in Gallitzin, before descending down The Slide with a loaded eastbound coal train on 25 October 2008. Trailing unit 7208 is the last 80MAC in Conrail blue, and is taking its final trip down the mountain that way, soon to be set out at Juniata Shops for repainting into NS black.
Rio Grande SD40T-2 No. 5361 leads train No. 734 through Scofield, Utah the afternoon of June 25, 1988. In three additional miles, this Intermountain Power coal empty will reach the Skyline Mine at the end of the Pleasant Valley Branch.
A little over 1300cc, that’s 650cc per barrel sadly the horsepower is a tad flabby at 70bhp (compared to say my last R1 Yamaha’s 170bhp).
Still, someone likes polishing it.
Personally speaking, I am out of the 2 wheel club for the foreseeable future, regardless of pandemic lockdown as a combination of arthritic agony and dulled reflexes would lead to my exiting the planet sooner than I would prefer.
never ending.

Guatemala is a paradise for butterflies. I saw many beauties flying around. This one is not the biggest but has a special design. The eighty eight butterfly or diaethria Anna.
#320/365 Some piano bokeh for this monday. I thought I'd play around with some textures. The texture is free from Jessica Drossin.
