I was expecting rain, so this was a real treat! The M/V Wenatchee easing up to the Coleman dock in Seattle to offload its passengers and cars from Bainbridge Island. I was onboard the Kitsap at the dock, waiting to depart for Bremerton.

We’re expecting a good little snow here tomorrow on the Jersey Shore. I issued a standard military warning order to Little Texas Aggie Drinking Bear (left), both A&M College of Texas Ring ’42, Jersey Shore Fightin’ Texas Aggie Ring, and Central Texas Gray Bartender Bear (far right).

I told them to be prepared. And, that we have a brisket point in the oven which will be ready in about 8 to 10 hours. If we loose power, we can eat it cold.

We have plenty of Maker’s Mark, sweet vermouth, and citrus on hand to make the old fashioneds, so we won’t go hungry.

Aggie Ring told Central Texas Gray Bartender Bear (far right) that he better muddle the fruit well for the drinks.

“There’s just something about Central Texas Gray Bartender Bear that I can’t put my finger on.” said Jersey Shore Fightin’ Texas Aggie Ring.

Expecting, expecting, expecting.

Strobist Info - SB600 triggered remotely through a shoot through umbrella camera left @ 1/8 power.

We expect to be finished with the canoe build project within a week. Not sure when it will be in the water, but I sure would like to be on the maiden voyage - I think I'll buy a wetsuit to go under my clothes, just in case I get wet! River water this time of year is not very warm.

Wasn't going to upload these for a couple days, but had a slightly disturbing conversation with my Father tonight about a previous neighbors immanent demise, and I realized that I may not live forever, so here you go.

Last day of the first month of 2021. Got out to the depot/yard at 10AM. Beautiful weather. The night before I'd invited my Nephew to come out benching with me. He'd never been out and I'm sure didn't know what to expect.

Well, I brought him to the yard because I thought it would at the minimum be interesting to him watching the crane operators loading the containers on the cars. Well, when I got there the nearest tracks were loaded with freights blocking most of the view, and half of the cranes weren't operating anyway. Didn't really bother me because as an active bencher I'm used to waiting for something interesting to happen.

I apologized and assured him that "Any minute" a freight could roll through with some amazing pieces on it. And 3 or 4 did while he was there. I shot my flicks and talked to him about what he saw. Said he saw some really cool pieces and even mentioned some hand re-painted numbers on the cars. Somehow he already knew that the writers shouldn't be covering the numbers. He knows zero about graff, and understood this. How is it that so many writers don't understand this?? I'm not sure the Nephews' a fan of graff. I really haven't talked to him about it much. He did ask me how people didn't get caught, or in trouble for doing it. I tried to explain layups, people sneaking into yards etc. And to his credit, he never sounded judgmental. He just had questions.

Anyway.. Had a fun time, and shot some nice pieces. I used the same 7.5mm lens I've used there before but used a Lightroom lens correction to flatten the images so they don't have the fisheye effect. Not sure which I like better, flat or fisheye. Both have their appeal.. The furthest I can stand from a freight on the first rail is about 15ft. so the ultra wide angle is necessary. I can get a whole autorack in one shot. It's actually pretty cool.

As always, thanks to all of the writers!

Been expecting for a lens like this one, the apoqualia from ms optical is a stellar performer, the glass is taken from the reputed 50mm f3.5 color skopar from VC, this version has a different diafragm, is made of aluminium, black anodized, very lightweight and extremely sharp...all i want from a lens..

My camera & I did not amuse him.

Also, have you heard about the new student tuition fees? I am not amused, but I am actually going to say a few things which I believe are mostly rational, rather than join any of these vitriolic discussions I've found under BBC articles.

Firstly, a lot of the people commenting on these articles have completely lumped all students into rampant sex addicts and alcoholics, which makes me wonder why they expect anyone to take them seriously. What's worrying though is that they are actually being engaged in conversation, and applauded for their views. I realise I could be seen as unusual, due to the fact that I haven't consumed any alcohol since I arrived at university - I come from an area where this is extremely unusual, and indeed this country has such a reputation that judging by the media I would be considered unusual by most of the population. In fact, I have found just as many people here who don't drink as those who like going out getting smashed. Unfortunately, the drinkers draw more attention to themselves. Now of course there's a nice middle section who drink and don't do it to extremes, but if you were to search a student's facebook page & see an alcohol bottle in the background then I betting a lot of the people on those forums would assume they'd had an all-night drinking session. What is often glossed over is the fact that many people not in university, who are at 9-5 jobs and therefore considered mostly 'respectable' by society go out on binges and pub crawls. Again, it's not something I choose to do, but of course I know adults who go out with the sole purpose of damaging their liver as much as possible. Perhaps this is because I'm at a Russel Group University, but I've also found that, okay, yes, there are a few people who put partying above work (I've genuinely only met one extreme case like this), but a lot of people have worked extremely hard in all their free time, & then gone out to enjoy themselves with their friends. Would they be criticised by these viperous forum snipers if instead they'd gone out to the cinema with their friends? Or for a long dinner? Perhaps you would argue that they are on tax payers money, & therefore should focus solely on their work. In that case you would have to apply the same logic to A-level students at your local state, or maybe even to the GCSE kids, because they definitely go out & party too. I'm digressing away from the fees issue, it's just those forum snipers really irritated me. I'm one of the first people to judge someone for drinking too much (at least I'm honest about it!) but I will not condemn students for it, & say it shows they're not taking their degree seriously.

I've not mentioned any of the "lower" universities, writing this purely from the POV of someone who attends a RG Uni, but I've never hidden my disdain for some of the degrees out there. I feel awkward naming them, because I know a ridiculous amount of people who take them, but some of them should definitely not be three year courses if they absolutely must be taught at university, & there are a number of courses which shouldn't be university degrees at all. I don't believe university should be an equal-opportunity institution. As far as I'm concerned university should be academically elitist. There is no shame in not going to university if your interests lie elsewhere. I object to this target that 50% of 18 year olds should be funnelled into HE, with a large majority of them studying courses which could have been taught at a college, or through actually going out there & getting a job.

Some of these spiteful commenters said that any degree that is useful (maths, science, engineering) should be free, whereas everyone else should pay. Now, as someone taking English Literature, of course I'm expected to object. & I do. I understand that the aforementioned subjects are very important for our society, but then I ask you to imagine what the world we lived in now would be like if no one had ben taught English, or History, or Theatre, even Geography (which I saw being dismissed). I've never found Geography very interesting, but without geographers are you really sure that we'd understand our world as much as we currently do? Geography & the sciences do cross over, and when it comes to monitoring earthquakes and volcanoes, etc. you couldn't do it without those technical subjects either, but there is a co-dependency in some area. Then moving onto English, or Theatre, I have to ask what degrees you think the writers of BBC drama documentaries studied. The world has changed, and entertainment is of much more significance than in the past, & you genuinely won't find many Biologists producing your favourite comedy.

I think I'd actually be quiet happy if all students had to pay the worth of their degree. Now you could point out that as an English Literature student it's very easy for me to say that, as my degree is worth a few hundred pounds more than the worth of my loan, and I'd say that yes, you're right. On the other hand, I would argue that I think someone studying English Literature at Glyndwr (a very poor university near my home town) should not have to pay the same as me, seeing as I am at a markedly better university. Then, moving onto subjects, I would argue that medicine should indeed cost more than my degree. The majority of people training to be medics will earn vastly more than me, & yet we pay the same for our degrees, while there's as much more expensive to run than mine. Surely it is in the tax payer's interests to see this happen? At this point though, there is usually an outcry that medicine is a much worthier cause than English Literature. I'm sorry, but this shouldn't be about which cause is worthier: we live in a capitalist society, therefore it should be about economics. (Also, an interesting side-note is that medical students - & I apologise for this generalisation - are among the worst drinkers out there. I was shocked to hear of someone having their stomach pumped recently. They're training to be a doctor!) There are some expensive subjects (physics, for example), where the majority of graduates aren't going to earn a lot of money, in which case I would say that these courses should be the minority that are subsidised.

I keep digressing, but I really want to record my thoughts on the matter, so I must persevere.

Oh, another of the forum posters said he was a grandfather, & that they were already struggling to find the money to send his two grandchildren to university, & thanks to the fee hikes they probably wouldn't be able to go. I don't know where this myth originated from, but students don't pay immediately. They pay after they start earning £20,000+. No student actually pays - graduates pay.

I'm not one of those people who is against cuts - even to my beloved theatre. Some things are unnecessarily subsidised, and the money is being wasted. There seems to be a culture in the UK where everyone (another generalisation, but one which seems to be proving itself around me daily) wants to improve the financial state of the country, without anything changing, or at least nothing bothering them. I actually accept that there need to be changes, and yes it's unfortunate, but it needs to be done (I, for one, believe IVF on the NHS is abhorrently wasteful), I would just argue that a the increase in tuition fees should be the same for every student, and that it should depend on their university and their course. & also I was really irritated with some of the disparaging views being put out there about students, and that nobody was refuting them!

Anyway, lecture over. I spent 4 hours in the library completing an essay, and spent two hours analysing a two page extract from a book. I actually really enjoyed it. & now I have to finish my medieval translations (it's my last translations class tomorrow!), make sure I've done everything for tomorrow. Yay!

Expecting the place to collapse any minute..

a rather wordy post here

Roosevelt's Bridges 2 Harmony gospel choir performed their winter show 'Expect Your Miracle' on Thursday night, January 27th.

And Aresko and Grint aren't delivering.

Just trying out with Candle lights, this was on a Rice Lake, Ontario, Canada. Was about to wind up the camp when we thought of trying this out. What I really love about this image is the look this lady had, there is so much to it, as if a story waiting to be captured.

I am so grateful that you guys have liked it. Thank you All..:))

Seen in 1958 Daf 600 Variomatic Publicity Brochure.

Original Daf 600 Variomatic sedan publicity brochure, to promote the first passenger car Daf had developed in the 1950s. It had an unique automatic transmission system with stepless acceleration.

The first Daf passenger car was announced in 1957 and officially presented in Febr. 1958.

Production started one year later in 1959.

The Daf 600 was designed by W. van den Brink with technical assistance of Johan van der Brugghen, and was replaced by both the 1961-63 Daf 750 and the 1961-65 Daffodil.

The differences between the standard 600 and the luxe version include the two-tone paint (six colours available), quarterlights in the door windows, hub-caps, chrome strips around the windows and chrome bumpers. In the interior there was more colour upholstery choice.

590 cc 2 cylinder air-cooled boxer engine.

600 kg.

Production Daf 600: 1959-1963.

Publisher: Van Doorne's Automobielfabrieken N.V., Eindhoven, (1958).

A4 size.

With many black & white photos and drawings.

I don't know if this brochure was intended for car dealers and potential buyers. Perhaps it was an internal brochure intended for its own employees. I inherited this brochure from an ex-Daf engineer who was involved in the development of the assembly line for the manufacture of the Daf 600.

October 12, 2011, Albany - Governor Andrew M. Cuomo announces transformative steps that his administration is taking to change the way state government does business in order to reduce costs and increase efficiency.

The reforms will focus on five specific areas, including transforming the procurement process by harnessing the state's full buying power to reduce costs, eliminating costly empty space leased by the state, modernizing information technology systems, improving customer service, and streamlining business services. These reforms are expected to save taxpayers $600 million in all funds over five years including $100 million in all funds over the next fiscal year.

Sage advice. If that city's FINEST upstanding citizens don't get you (see insert), then Maryland's menacing deer population WILL finish you off just hours later.

The wild horse gather of the Warm Springs Herd started Oct. 2, 2018, in southeast Oregon with 62 horses gathered.

The Warm Springs Herd Management Area comprises about 475,000 acres of public land south of Hines, Oregon. That range area can sustain 96 to 178 horses, but the current population is over 800 horses.

Approximately 650 excess wild horses will be removed from the range during this gather, which will utilize a helicopter.

The gather is expected to last up to 10 days, depending on the availability of the contractor being used.

There were no horse deaths reported.

Seven public observers were present for the gather.

St Mary, Ketton, Rutland

And so to church-exploring again, a day in which our hero takes a bicycle ride into Rutland and north Northamptonshire. He rides two ridges either side of the great Welland Vale, meets an eccentric churchwarden, sees double, frightens a horse, has his head turned by a young American lady, witnesses the longest railway viaduct in the British Isles, has another incident with a lady over wheelie bins and climbs hills no man of his age should be expected to climb.

Part six.

Reluctantly, I left Barrowden's locked church behind me and cycled north-east on a long, straight lane which climbed up to the top of the ridge before crossing back over the A47 again. 'Not suitable for motor vehicles' said the sign at the entrance to the lane on the other side, and it soon became just a track through the woods for a couple of miles before descending rapidly into one of the largest villages in Rutland, Ketton.

Ketton church had been one of the three churches which had made me really want to explore this part of the world. The other two, Fotheringhay and Lowick, I had already visited, but I still had memories of passing Ketton church some ten years before on a diversion from the main road when we were on the way back from visiting friends in Castle Donington. On that day in early October all the leaves were red, the stonework of the village fiery in the late afternoon sunshine. I was captivated, but we hadn't stopped.

Now, I was here. An enormous church, the biggest village church in the county, with a tall, central spire that you can see for miles (as you can the appalling cement factory a mile or so to the north of it). The church is set above a stream with a medieval bridge up to it, on rising ground but hard against the street, the stone buildings on the other side also hard against it in their turn, creating an urban feel that would be quite at home in Stamford or York. The spire is superlative, the bell openings impossibly large, the Early English columns impossibly narrow - how can they support that amazing spire? The south porch lets you in to a large, endearingly shabby interior with much to show of the time it was a star in the Anglo-catholic firmament, not least a series of windows and furnishings by Ninian Comper. The massive piers at the crossing show you how the tower and spire are held up. There is some good 19th Century glass by Frederick Sutton which performs a steady counterpoint to Comper's work. Although the architecture is almost entirely that of the 13th and 14th Centuries, the inside is still haunted by the late 19th and early 20th Centuries, that time of liturgical revolution and drama. It is difficult not to be affected by it, easy to be awed.

I was into the home strait. I joined the main road back into Stamford, eventually reaching the suburb of Tinwell, separated from the town by the A1 and the county boundary.

To be continued.

Flags decorating a house in Malmesbury with a sign underneath saying 'Expect a Miracle'. I suspect this relates to the 2012 Olympics when miracles could well be expected and not the earlier European Championship Football tournament where England fans merely hoped against hope!

This time I was struck by luck! Always went to the airport without a tripod and missed every opportunity, but not this time. As start-up occured minutes after EOBT, the slot expired while taxiing. So in order to get a new slot they had to wait ten minutes, which gave me a perfect opportunity.. Always prepare for the unexpected is something I learned from my previous encounters!
