I liked to flag unit much better than the map unit and seemed to see it more often. Here it is leading a CN train out of Trout Lake heading for Munising on March 7, 2002. Despite inroads of IC GP40/s, CN GP40-2LW''s and CN GP38's the WC units remained fairly common in the Yoopee. 3027 and 3012 look pretty good in this late winter scene.
Thank God we are about done with this orgiastic exercise in excess patriotic fervor where grown men get to play with fire (works) and not be labeled pyromaniacs, where hubris reigns with many breaking their arms while patting themselves on the back. and solipisistic Americans expound upon their exceptionalism writ large. All with the blessings of The Big Guy in the sky.
We may now take down all the trappings of nationalism that have made some wealthy by selling red white and blue everythings, fireworks, and barbecues.
Ask not for whom ICE cometh, for they will come for you as well.
And finally, from Eugene O'Neill's "The Iceman Cometh,"
"What's it matter if the truth is... their ships are long since looted and scuttled and sunk on the bottom? To hell with the truth!"
This image was taken behind the line of columns that front The U. S. Grant Tomb in Morningside Heights, NYC.
A roundabout in Brimsdown, near Enfield, where a number of flags have gone up, now mostly hidden by bushes. I note that the gutters are full of weeds here!
The conductor on the Lakeville Switcher with LA&L 72 flags the Stone Hill Road crossing in "downtown" Lakeville, NY on January 29, 2021. The 72 is now at the museum in Industry.
An image from 3 years ago run through a simple and cheap paint app, PhotoArtista-Oil. This is one of an infinite variety possible on a single image. Great Fun. You can enlarge to see details of the 3 dimensional like look of the 'paint', and the brush strokes, and the app has numerous variations available.
The most beautiful sports/racing car you have never heard of. This is the first Scarab (Mark1) that Lance Reventlow converted from pure racing to street legal. Powered by the Chevy Corvette's 283 bored out significantly, the car was amazingly successful.
I will add more of the incredible story tonight after chores (the rain is coming).
I never tire of the great art deco mascots of the 20s and 30s. This design evolved over the years, changing details and design elements, but it appears it was originally designed first by designer Joseph E. Corker patent granted to Packard Motor Car Co. 7/12/1927, patent #73,026, exhibited on a Rollston cabriolet at the New York City Automobile show January 1926, Packard deluxe emblem known as the Packard "Goddess of Speed.
Based on Nike, the divine charioteer of Greek mythology.
In Greek mythology, Nike was a goddess who personified victory, also known as the Winged Goddess of Victory. The Roman equivalent was Victoria. Depending upon the time of various myths, she was described as the daughter of Pallas (Titan) and Styx (Water) and the sister of Kratos (Strength), Bia (Force), and Zelus (Zeal). Nike and her siblings were close companions of Zeus, the dominant deity of the Greek pantheon. According to classical (later) myth, Styx brought them to Zeus when the god was assembling allies for the Titan War against the older deities. Nike assumed the role of the divine charioteer, a role in which she often is portrayed in Classical Greek art. Nike flew around battlefields rewarding the victors with glory and fame. Nike is seen with wings in most statues and paintings. Most other winged deities in the Greek pantheon had shed their wings by Classical times. Nike is the goddess of strength, speed, and victory. Nike was a very close acquaintance of Athena, and is thought to have stood in Athena's outstretched hand in the statue of Athena located in the Parthenon. Nike is one of the most commonly portrayed figures on Greek coins. The shoe and sports equipment company Nike, Inc. is named after the Greek goddess Nike.
Happy 4th!!!!, and in that spirit, is it only me that thinks the face looks a lot like George Washington?

Odd art deco mascot, and I have seen it on 2 Delahayes and a Delage over the years. Don't know the maker or 'name' of the mascot but it is very distinctive. I like it but it is probably an acquired taste, and........OK i am more than a little eccentric. You can be very sure your neighbor doesn't have the identical one.
Captured this morning while the dogs swam in the local lake while being seen off by a Swan.......the Swan was fine, but the dogs are still in shock :-)
Música: " Roger Waters - Folded Flags "
"Folded Flags" hace referencia al momento de la ceremonia en que se pliega la bandera con que se cubren los féretros de los soldados en los funerales con honores militares en USA
