This is Killy, named that way because my 3 year old niece can't say kitty with a "t." She's a very pregnant cat and will soon have kittens. I can't wait to see what they'll look like. She is so fluffy and cute. :D
There's another photo in the comments. You can see how big she's really gotten.

It's back!
Let me start by saying wow, I never expected to see a Superlight Curotto Can again after this same truck was switched to Commercial collection Summer 2016. In 2016 WMmaster626 and I were informed by Dave, a Moreno Valley driver, that Paul (the Superlight driver) was now driving a ASL. There is also a picture from Moises Aguirre from Flickr that shows the Superlight on Commercial (www.flickr.com/photos/wmtrucks/34552959740/in/dateposted/). Both WMmaster626 and I were upset by the news and regretted not going back to get more footage of the Superlight.
The way WMmaster626 and I found out the Superlight was returning to residential is quite interesting. Both of us were getting a tour of the Waste Management Corona yard by the Fleet Manager Tom, who started out in Moreno Valley (the yard where the Superlight resides). We had conversations about the drivers and trucks in Moreno Valley, all of whom Tom knows. We never brought up the Superlight but eventually we brought up Paul (who drove the Superlight). Tom told us how Paul used to drive this one of a kind truck from Heil with a custom Curotto Can (the Superlight) and how several people from WM liked that truck and the custom Curotto Can. We told Tom how we found that truck on route once and how it was one of our favorite trucks. Tom then informed us how the Superlight had already or was going to return to residential services shortly. WMmaster626 and I were in shock and could not believe what we had just heard. After the great tour in Corona we immediately headed to Woodcrest and we found a Python driver in Woodcrest who informed us Paul was still driving a ASL. Two weeks later WMmaster626 heard from Tom that the Superlight was officially back on route in Woodcrest. In early 2017 the Woodcrest routes were altered so the next week while WMmaster626 was in Washington I headed to Woodcrest once again see the Superlight and find out which portion of Woodcrest it was servicing. I found Paul on route with the Superlight now collecting Green Waste, WMmaster626 was glad to hear the Superlight was back on route and was looking forward to seeing it in person. The next month in October 2017 WMmaster626 and I returned to Woodcrest and filmed more footage of the Superlight.
During my September trip, I found the Superlight Curotto Can collecting Green Waste in Woodcrest. There are many green carts out on the Friday route so I was able to see many carts collected. Paul is a great driver and knows how to operate the Superlight in fast, smooth cycles. Woodcrest is a great area and unique to SoCal, most of Woodcrest has a Country feel to it with huge properties, some residents even own horses. Woodcrest was also once services by NEWCO Waste Systems and there are multiple black and blue ex NEWCO carts in the area, there are even a few NEWCO dumpsters still in the area. This is the only Waste Management Curotto Can Heil in SoCal, the next closest is most likely Oakland California. This is most likely the only Superlight Curotto still in service. Republic Services Pacheco used to have a Superlight but I do not believe it is still around.
Thank you to the driver Paul and a big thank you to Tom for informing us the Superlight was back, you made our day. Thank you to everyone for watching and let me know what you think of the video.
Expecting and nursing mothers require social protection but workers in the informal economy are often not covered. Maternity protection has been a primary concern of the ILO since its creation in 1919. Workplace support for mothers who are breastfeeding has been a basic provision of maternity protection. The Philippines expanded maternity leave benefits in 2019 to align with international labour standards. The ILO also promoted exclusive breastfeeding in the workplace to advance women’s rights to maternity protection and to improve nutrition security for Filipino children.

I have purchased a QHY5III462C. As you would expect, there has now been almost continual cloud cover! Last night though, there was a short gap when they parted.... there was however a lot of atmospheric disturbance and a lot of wind blowing the telescope about.
I did mange to get this out of the evening, which I am quite pleased with. I'm sure, if I can get some nights where the atmosphere is a bit more stable, that the results will be even better, but for now, its a good start.
This was shot using the 850 pass IR filter and processed in AS!3 and Registax
There are a few stacking errors at the top and bottom of the shot, but they don't detract too much from the image
I was also expecting to see a number of GHA vehicles on their version of the 84 service, which was introduced to operate directly in front of the Routemaster C84, but on this day it certainly wasn't doing that. In fact this Volvo B7RLE / Plaxton Centro was the only vehicle in use on the 84, ironically running in front of a Routemaster journey which itself had failed to operate !
No doubt the passengers along the route are regretting the decision of Arriva to reduce their frequency on this route from half-hourly to hourly, which gave rise to this chaotic situation.
I wasn't expecting the fog to be so thick or last so long when I planned a sunrise photoshoot. Two hours later it was starting to clear a bit, so I decided to fly the quadcopter to see what was visible. The fog bank was thicker than 100 m, but patches were clearing and I was able to grab a panorama of the old Walker Sawmill.
This 360° aerial panorama was stitched from 26 photographs with PTGUI Pro and touched up in Affinity Photo and Aperture.

Strobist with Pentax 360 FGZ with silver umbrella to left, natural light from window on the right. Triggered with Cactus V2s. I didn't use much light from the flash because I didn't want to loose the feel of the natural light. I used just enough to fill in the shadows a tiny bit.

Expecting to see MILW 261 here, but instead BN 5568 showed up leading a kickass all-green consist on an empty coal train east of Galva, IL.
This was the "Trip from Hell" excursion day where 261 went limp at Meredith.
June 27, 1998.
We can regularly expect to see two of our four US Sapsuckers up here. The other one that is regular (if not common) is the Williamson's. The Red-breasted is primarily a West Coast bird, and the Yellow-bellied is mainly an Eastern bird... although vagrants may show up anywhere in North America. Our constructed bird oasis draws in nearly all of the avian population to be found in this area. This bird had stopped at our fountain for a drink and a bath, and on exit has conveniently parked on a photo prop next to the gushing water. Any presence of white under the chin indicates the female sex. Looks like a male to me.

Carte de visite by Christopher Smith German of Springfield, Ill. In northeastern Missouri in September 1861, a strong presence of federal troops enforced martial law in the town of Palmyra. Burnings of bridges and businesses, and other depredations against property and people—the work of pro-Confederate forces—interrupted everyday life.
Union troops stationed in Palmyra are charged with maintaining law and order and preventing further violence. They included four companies of the 26th Illinois Infantry, commanded by the officer pictured here: Lieutenant Colonel Charles Johnston Tinkham. His presence in Palmyra during these tense times instilled confidence in soldiers and loyal citizens. One writer shared this observation of Tinkham: Energetic and loyal, he is “one of the best officers in the service. Traitors have no favors to expect of him.” Another writer called out the conduct of Tinkham’s command: “The discipline of this regiment certainly exceeds that of any other which has been stationed here, and, at night, our city is emphatically placed under martial law, for the streets are then guarded and no one is allowed to pass.”
Tinkham’s reputation traced back to his birth in Kentucky about 1825. At some point during his youth, his family moved to Indiana, from where Tinkham received an appointment to the U.S. Military Academy. He attended from 1846 to 1848, in the same class with future Civil War generals Gouverneur K. Warren and Junius Daniel. Tinkham hovered toward the bottom of his class during his tenure, racking top demerits for conduct and proving a poor student in all his subjects with the exception of drawing. His skills as an artist were not enough to save him, and so he never graduated. Still, he left West Point understanding the basic arts of war.
Tinkham returned to the midwest, and by 1850 had settled in the hamlet of Homer in Champaign County, Illinois, where he found work as a teacher and surveyor. A decade later, in May 1860, as the country geared up for a presidential election that elected a citizen from nearby Springfield to the White House, Tinkham, now 29 years old, married Caroline Coffeen, a music teacher ten years his junior. The first of their five children, a son, was born a day before South Carolina forces bombarded Fort Sumter in Charleston Harbor, sparking all out war between the states.
In early August 1861, Tinkham joined the Union army as captain of Company F of the 26th. Before the end of the month, he advanced to lieutenant colonel and second in command of the regiment. His first assignment in his new role was to protect Quincy, Ill., a town on the Missouri border. Tinkham’s men, untrained and yet to receive weapons, arrived with hickory clubs to keep the peace. There is no record they had to use them.
Meanwhile, in neighboring Missouri, secessionist tensions rippled across the border state. Though Missouri adhered to the Union following a series of political and military actions, including the quelling of a deadly riot in St. Louis in May, the secessionists remained determined to pull the state into the Confederacy. In June, the secessionist governor, Claiborne F. Jackson, and the commander of the state militia, Gen. Sterling Price, withdrew from the capital and formed a Confederate government and military force. By August, Missouri had two governments. On August 10 at Wilson’s Creek, opposing forces fought a major battle that ended in Confederate victory and the death of the Union commander, Brig. Gen. Nathaniel Lyon, who had done much militarily to keep Missouri in the Union. Though the Confederates had won the battle, momentum in Missouri tilted in favor of the United States.
This is the situation Tinkham and his men wandered into when they arrived in Palmyra for guard duty here and around area railroads and bridges that had been under attack by marauding bands of pro-Southern elements. By this time, the hickory clubs carried by Tinkham’s men had been replaced by modern muskets imported from Britain.
It can be fairly stated that Tinkham and the 26th did their part to maintain law and order and bring a measure of order out of the chaos that had swept across Missouri in 1861.
Thus began the history of the 26th, which gained a reputation as one of the hardest-fighting regiments in the Union army. It may also be fairly stated that Tinkham’s leadership played an important part in the regiment’s success.
Tinkham, however, would not be with the 26th at the war’s end. In May 1862, in Mississippi during the Siege of Corinth, the 26th and other Union regiments commanded by Maj. Gen. John Pope were struck by Confederates led by Gen. Earl Van Dorn at a place called Farmington. The exposed federals were hit hard. Tinkham and the 26th received orders to fall back behind the protection of woods and a morass. The Confederates kept on coming. One of Tinkham’s captains, Ira Jackson Bloomfield of Company K, described the engagement in a letter:
“Lieut. Col. Tinkham halted and formed us four times, and each time held his position till ordered back—all this in the face of a deadly fire. While crossing the morass, tangled in the brush and mired in its mud, the storm of shot and shell upon us was terrible, as ours was the last regiment to leave the field. Here Lieut. Col. Tinkham was struck by a shell, which burst upon us, killed one man, broke another’s leg, and wounded him. I was near him and helped him on till he recovered from the shock so as to be able to walk, when I went to the rear of my regiment to assist the wounded till after we passed the morass, when I went to the front, caused a halt, and formed my company, and ours was the only company that came back in order.”
The Union went to down as the loser at Farmington, but it did not stop them from taking Corinth.
Losses in the 26th included a dozen killed and 68 wounded and missing. Tinkham returned to command, but turned in his resignation a few months later. Captain Bloomfield eventually became lieutenant colonel, filling Tinkham’s position.
The 26th continued on, fighting in total 57 engagements in the Trans-Mississippi and Western Theaters, including the Atlanta Campaign, Maj. Gen. William T. Sherman’s March to the Sea, and the Carolinas Campaign. At the war’s end, the regiment’s national colors were inscribed with key battles in which it participated: New Madrid, Island No. 10, Siege of Corinth, Iuka, Corinth, 3d and 4th October 1862, Holly Springs, Vicksburg, Jackson, Miss, Missionary Ridge, Resaca, Kennesaw, Ezra Church, Atlanta, Jonesboro, Griswoldville, McAllister, Savannah, Columbia, Bentonville—and Farmington.
Tinkham returned to Homer and his family, went into the hardware business, and became was of the town’s most respected citizens. He died at age 68 in 1891 after losing a battle against pneumonia.

Wasn't expecting to see these in Tenterden!, and these vehicles were on Route 12 to Maidstone and Mondays and Fridays Route 293 to and from Appledore.
And be sure to check by my other acount: www.flickr.com/photos_user.gne?path=&nsid=77145939%40..., to see what else I saw Very Recently!!
Yes I'm back again.
However due to my main computer on which I edit my work being struck down with a big bad virus, this picture and all the others I am uploading, were Unedited but have now been replaced with Edited versions. So enjoy and Thanks for your patience and understanding.
I do still hate everything about this shit that is new Flickr and always will, but an inability to find another outlet for my work that is as easy for me to use as the Old BETTER Flickr was, has forced me back to Flickr, even though it goes against everything I believe in.
I don't generally have an opinion on my own work, I prefer to leave that to other people and so based on the positive responses to my work from the various friends I had made on Flickr prior to the changes I have decided to upload some more of my work as an experiment and to see what happens.
So make the most of me before they delete my acount: www.flickr.com/photos/69558134@N05/?details=1, to stop me complaining!!

I guess I'm going to have to get used to people trying to tell me ANYTHING and expecting me to believe it.. Maybe I just look like one of those people that don't look like they can tell when they're being lied to so anyone and everyone thinks they can do it to me and get away w/ it..
Well I've started a new thing.. When someone starts to try to say something that I just know is a line of sh*t, then they get the SH!T face... Hey, if they can just say what they want, then I should be able to show them how I feel right?
Next time someone tries to lay a line on you... Give'em the SH!T face and see if it just stops them mid sentence.. It's been working for me lately.. I hope the same works for you and we can stop this global phenomenon of posers BSing their way through life..

An somewhat expected response....
The early-1980’s were troubled times for Leyland Bus. Despite all the industrial strife it seemed was rampant at British Leyland (BL) in the 1970s, the commercial vehicle side was less badly affected as the private car side. However a series of decisions, some external, led to falling sales at the start of the 80s - First was the decision by the Government to phase out a grant whereby the price of a new bus was subsidised by initially 25% then later increased to 50%. It was done with the laudable aim to encourage operators to modernise their fleets and get rid of buses which weren’t suitable for one-person operation. However, the decision to phase the grant out did have a downside. The grant led to operators gorging themselves on new buses and old ones were replaced before strictly necessary. This, together with impending deregulation very much put the brakes on purchases.
Whilst Leyland had a monopoly for much of the 1970s, the decision to phase out Leyland’s three double deck models - The Daimler (later Leyland) Fleetline, Leyland Atlantean and Bristol VRT - had encouraged other companies to compete, sensing a weakened company. It’s false start with the Leyland Titan and then bringing the Olympian late to the party didn’t help.
However Leyland then changed tack. Realising it couldn’t compete with larger companies such as Volvo, it decided to compete with former established allies. So it undercut Alexanders, where it had sold in complete harmony with Atlanteans, to sell Lothian Leyland Olympians with ECW bodies. This was Leyland promoting the benefits of one-stop shopping and Lothian was by no means the only company it targeted. Leyland figured if it built the bus and body it got more money. At the same time, it should be noted that ECW was a beneficiary of this and retained Lothian’s business until the sad demise of the company itself. One of the buses built by ECW was 777 (C777SFS) which has been preserved by the company in ‘as withdrawn’ condition. Note the day ticket price.
However the decision to compete with Alexanders was another own goal by Leyland Bus. It brought a withering response by Alexanders, well established in the Leyland stronghold of Singapore. Alexanders introduced Mercedes-Benz to that market, selling several hundred Mercedes-Benz buses, all bodied by Alexanders. Leyland lost far more than what it gained....You reap what you sow....
...to enjoy the most...
The strange feeling I had at this moment is impossible to describe... A mist of sadness, happiness, gratefulness...
This was the ending of a beautiful weekend...
TY! **
