Not what you expect to see when you pop your head out the front door. This requires some further investigation (as all good Flickerites would).
I find out later that the crane was delivering materials into the garden of house. The gardens are very long on this houses. Not sure what the items being delivered were, but all lifts come with risk - especially that that low angle and extension. Another risk is the crane being hit by passing traffic.
Not knowing any intel, until we got up to the New Town line, this afternoon could have turned out way worse. When we arrived New Town, ND, a set of three CP heritage four axle motors was idling in town with a crew. My fear was that they had just arrived town, had put their train away, and were done for the day, sealing the fate on our chances of catching anything out on this former Soo subdivision.
Luckily they were actually about to tie onto a cut of crude oil tanks, and take them east towards Max, ND. An eastbound in the afternoon is not the best prospect, but it was better than nothing. We stumbled upon a spot where the tracks are forced to make a north/south turn along the Van Hook Arm of Lake Sakakawea. The one spot on the entire line where it would be possible to get some wonderful side light at this time of day.
As with most of the upper Midwest, there is some remarkable flooding going on here.
I expected a crowd, there wasn't one. In fact there were only two volunteers there, and given my son and I arrived at the same time as two other people, we got some good background and history from the GGNRA volunteers.

Day 6 Fradden to Hellenbridge 17 miles
I was expecting a quiet meal in the out of town restaurant last night
I opened the door & walked into " Cantina" that weird bar in Star Wars, full off oddballs
I had washed some clothes out, but the heater cut out on the thermostat, so I spent the evening drying them with a hair dryer provided
Tonight I'm in a large old country house supposed to be a hotel, only me here
Door locked, bell hanging loose,house is cold & silent
Horror Film stuff
Fog & mizzle all day today, a damp day walking
Day 7 Hellenbridge to Altarnun 17 miles
I knew today would be challenging, so I left just after dawn in the half light
I returned back onto The Camel Trail, a disused railway line & cycle track - very flat & un inspiring
Then I entered Bodmin Moor
What a change, the wind tore through my body with a cold chill, & the ground was sodden with standing water
I navigated on a compass bearing in the bland wet landscape across the moor, with the odd mistake & stumble into the bog
Nine hours later I reached my B&B
Never saw a soul all day
Daily cremations take place along the sacred Bagmati River in front of the Pashupatinath Temple in Kathmandu, Nepal. I definitely had mixed emotions regarding viewing cremation. I didn’t know what to expect or how I would feel, but I decided to enter the area and stay as long as I felt comfortable.
Walking toward the puffs of black smoke ascending from stone cremation platforms along the Bagmati River was very eerie at first, especially when I knew that the smoke was coming from bodies that were burning . . . and, not knowing what to expect, I thought I might see recognizable bodies on fire.
As I walked closer to that area I was concerned about breathing in the smoke and I was a bit afraid that I could be exposing myself to disease, but the more I saw, the more intrigued I became.
The preparation of the body for cremation along the Bagmati River is really beautiful and something to see. Family/friends come with marigolds to adorn the body and the area around the body. It was a ritualistic ceremony with lots of detail which of course I did not fully understand.
What I did understand was the love and compassion the family/friends demonstrated during the cremation ceremony. I was able to watch some of the preparation for a deceased man and was able to follow the procession to his cremation platform.
I was moved by what I saw. Looking at my pictures and remembering what I experienced I feel honored to have been with this man at such an important time. It was nice that he was accompanied by family and friends at the very end, and I’m sure the family/friends were honored to be there.
My father was cremated in 2005, but of course none of us were present during his cremation. After his death at home we knelt around him and prayed the Rosary. Then we sat around him and talked. In the morning, when people from the mortuary came to take him, everyone left the room but me. I helped put Dad in the bag and helped take him from the house. They let me do the final zip of the bag once he was in the mortuary vehicle. I thought of my dad while watching the cremation of the Nepalese man.
Pashupatinath Temple is Nepal’s most sacred Hindu shrine and one of the greatest Shiva sites. A translation for Shiva is “The Auspicious One” or “Great God”. Shiva is a popular Hindu deity.
This extensive Hindu precinct is a collection of temples raised over the centuries along the banks of the sacred Bagmati River and is included as one of the seven monument groups in UNESCO’s designation of Kathmandu Valley as a cultural heritage site.

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.
