The Car Show
On Sunday, The Manitoba Transit Heritage Association (MTHA) featured three fine vintage buses from it’s fleet at the Car Show in the south parking lot of the Garden City Shopping Centre. A local Mecca for car & vintage vehicle enthusiasts, the MTHA proudly displayed the 1956 Western Flyer “Scenic Cruiser”, the 1966 Western Flyer P-41 Canuck and the 1984 Flyer D901 transit bus.
I came across this photo taken back in April last year and thought I'd post it. This pretty tulip was bought from Safeway, to help get me through a few cold winter days : ).
This is a picture I took while we (my Mom, me and my siblings) were at Six Flags. Basically just a shot to show I've been to Six Flags and stuff.
Made in a size 6T. Bit too small for my little lady so will have to size up and put this one away for her little sister!
Flashback to the 30th March 2013 when beautiful Comet L4 Pan-STARRS graced our skies. This image was taken on 30th March 2013 looking out over Lough Neagh. At that time the comet was about two degrees below The Andromeda Spiral (M31).

As I sit in the quiet moments of reflection, flashbacks of the past often resurface, vivid and unrelenting, like fragments of a story I once lived but have since outgrown. These memories, once heavy with pain and self-doubt, now serve as a testament to how far I’ve come. They remind me of the battles I fought within myself, the nights I spent wrestling with my demons, and the mornings I chose to rise despite the weight of it all. Each flashback is a mirror, not of who I was, but of the strength I discovered in letting go, in forgiving myself, and in choosing growth over stagnation. The person I see now is someone who has weathered storms and emerged stronger, someone who has turned scars into wisdom and fear into resilience. These moments of remembrance are no longer chains; they are milestones, proof that I have become the best version of myself, not in spite of the past, but because of it.
Sat. 1/29 Flashback
The streetcar era in Indianapolis bowed out at 3:10 a.m. on Jan. 9, 1953 as the final clang, clang, clang of the trolley and the last clank, clank, clank of the traditional "flat" wheels trailed off into oblivion. The gaily decorated No. 148 pulled out of the Indianapolis Railways car barn at 1 a.m., topped with a mortar board and tassle signifying its "graduation" from the College Ave. line. A sign reading "Streetcar Named Expire" was affixed to the front. Retiring motormen and dignitaries including Mayor Alex Clark rode on accompanying street cars. Transit operator Roy Leverett, 42, (shown here) then pulled the old car into the barns, where it and 33 others awaited their fate Ð to be cut up and made into such things as refrigerators, bicycles and coat hangers. In the name of progress, motor buses and trackless trolleys took over completely at 5 a.m. that morning. The streetcar era had lasted 89 years in Indianapolis. In 1864, the first mule-drawn car began on the rails here. In 1891, the first electric streetcar clanged and rumbled through city streets. While trackless trolleys built at the Mormon-Herrington plant in Indianapolis began service on city streets in October 1946, some old streetcars ran until 1953. Indianapolis Transit System bought Indianapolis Railways in 1955 and introduced motorized buses several years later. In 1974, the city bought the company and formed the Indianapolis Public Transportation Corporation; it operated under the name of Metro until 1998, when the operating name became IndyGo. Leverett retired in 1965 but worked part-time until he turned 80. Now 89, he still lives in Indianapolis. Photo by Indianapolis Star photographer Maurice Burnett
