...But the people of this city will never allow that to be accomplished. What we used to have here was a Banksy known to the locals as the "No Loitering piece"

Известный и достаточно широко распространённый культивар ретузы. Не могу понять причину, но в моих условиях розетка постоянно стремиться прижать листья к земле, из-за чего не удаётся её красиво сформировать.
GRAY GHOST
Spotted on condemned ATSF 315622 hopper.
Spotted on a gem of a freight will be scrapped out within the next few days. I was laid up a few miles from a scrapping facility. The numbers on the side of the car were crossed out. and "condemned" was spraypainted. Also located on this freight was a BOZO TEXINO.

Фото 2014 года. На солнце зеленые участки листьев приобретают красноватый оттенок. Видно так же, что часть деток появляются полностью зелеными, а часть пестрыми, правильно окрашенными по сорту.

Gray Ghost Scene-setting at the edge of Baskett Slough NWR (looking outside the refuge. That’s the Flying F ranch (“Pasture raised / Hormone free / No added antibiotics /Angus beef” they say on their Facebook page. Apparently they are in the middle of calving season which explains the small low dark shapes in the grass.)

Clearly he doesn't know how to read because there were a number of "NO TRESPASSING" signs on the container and on the property.

The YF-23A competed in the late 1980s/early 1990s against the YF-22A in the Advanced Tactical Fighter (ATF) program.
During the late 1970s, a new generation of Soviet fighters and Surface-to-Air Missiles (SAMs) prompted the US Air Force to find a replacement for the F-15 Eagle air superiority fighter. In 1986, the USAF awarded demonstration contracts to two competing industry teams—Lockheed-Boeing-General Dynamics (YF-22A) versus Northrop-McDonnell Douglas (YF-23A).
The Northrop YF-23A, unofficially named the Black Widow II, emphasized stealth characteristics. To lessen weight and increase stealth, Northrop decided against using thrust vectoring for aerodynamic control as was used on the Lockheed YF-22A. Northrop built two YF-23A prototypes.
In 1991, after extensive flight testing, the USAF announced that the Lockheed YF-22A won the airframe competition. Northrop ended its ATF program, and the YF-23A on display came to the Museum in 2000.

Fly fishers spend a lot of time trying to achieve the perfect presentation—the right dead drift or swing or retrieve. But there are times when an ugly presentation is actually more “natural” and will catch more fish. A good example is when you’re fishing at the base of a dam or a waterfall. One of my favorite tactics for this angling situation requires virtually no casting or retrieving skill. Tie on a bright streamer—a Gray Ghost or a Mickey Finn, for instance—and lob it right into the heaviest whitewater at the base of the dam or waterfall. If the dam has a slanted base, you can even cast up onto the dam itself and let the fly slide down into the whitewater.

This Virginia Civil War Trails historical marker is in front of John Marshall Public Library at 6209 Rose Hill Drive Alexandria, Virginia in Fairfax County. It reads:
"On September 28, 1863, Confederate Major John S. Mosby raided the house that stood nearby on the bluff at the end of May Boulevard. The day before, Mosby and eight of his men road from Fauquier County toward Alexandria, where Mosby planned to capture Francis H. Pierpont, the provisional governor of the Restored Government of Virginia.
Mosby expected to find Pierpont at the City Hotel, known today as Gadsby's Tavern, but was disappointed to learn that Pierpont had gone to Washington City. Mosby and his men burned a railroad bridge within sight of Forts Ellsworth and Lyon, then rode along Telegraph Road to the Rose Hill Plantation to surprise the governor’s aide, Col. Daniel F. Dulany. One of Mosby's Rangers, French Dulany, was Col. Dulany's son.
Anne S. Frobel, a Rose Hill neighbor, wrote in her diary that a “party of Mosby’s boys came very unexpectedly to Rose Hill, and took off Col. Dulaney. One of them was his own son. …This boy’s first greeting to his father when he rushed into the room where his father was in bed [was] ... ‘How do Pa—I’m very glad to see you,’ and the father’s answer sitting up in bed, with proper dignity, ‘Well, sir, I’m d-sorry to see you.’ But they took him down to Richmond nevertheless.”
Dulany was imprisoned, exchanged, and survived the war. His son, however, was mortally wounded in 1864. The house burned in 1895."

“The Colonel sarcastically remarked to his son that he had an old pair of shoes he had better take, as he reckoned they were darned scarce in the Confederacy, whereupon the son holding up his leg which was encased in a fine pair of cavalry boots just captured from a sutler, asked the old man that he thought of that.” — Maj. John S. Mosby, October 1, 1863

During the Civil War, the town was near the scene of battles and skirmishes during which the churches and schools were used as hospitals, frequently occupied by Federal troops, Warrenton was the object of raids by Colonel John S. Mosby, known as the "Gray Ghost," who later made his home there and practiced law in the California Building across Court Street. A monument to Mosby stands beside the Old Courthouse. He is buried in the Warrenton cemetery.
