Words are singularly the most powerful force available to humanity. We can choose to use this force constructively with words of encouragement, or destructively using words of despair. Words have energy and power with the ability to help, to heal, to hinder, to hurt, to harm, to humiliate and to humble. Yehuda Berg
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
With a myriad of issues plaguing the Amtrak P42DCs, a little help from big brother CSX comes in the form of the venerable ex-B&O Chessie GP40-2 #6145 as it leads the 2022 Autumn Colors Express slowly across the Sewell, WV, viaduct high above the chilly waters of the New River on the morning of October 23, 2022.
A Montana Rail Link helper set is on the point of a Burlington Northern Santa Fe intermodal train heading upgrade over Mullan Pass west of Helena, Montana, on July 1, 2001. The train is crossing curve Austin Creek Trestle just west of Skyline siding.
Denver and Rio Grande Western GP40 No. 3083 is the east unit on a helper set at Minturn, Colorado, in July 1984. Behind No. 3083 is a GP40-2, a SD40T-2, a SD45, and two more SD40T-2s. One track over in front of Minturn’s small enginehouse is GP35 No. 3043. These large helper sets were used on the steep 3-percent eastward grade up Tennessee Pass out of the crew change town of Minturn.
THOMAS JEFFERSON ENSLAVED 600+ AFRICAN-AMERICANS.
Thomas Jefferson helped to create a new nation based on individual freedom and self-government. His words in the Declaration of Independence expressed the aspirations of the new nation. But the Declaration did not extend “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness” to African Americans, indentured servants, or women. Thomas Jefferson drafted the Declaration and called slavery an “abominable crime,” yet he was a lifelong slaveholder.

Thanks for visiting....
This bear grabbed a salmon and ate it while sitting in the water along the riverbank. He used the downed tree trunk as his table. Sometimes you have to make do with the things at hand :-)
They might have known perfectly well how to patch a hole, but they didn't mind the help. At all.

Can't help it. They are so darn cute. This was a little while back, when there was 4 and they were 7 days old. When I went Friday (making them almost 1 month) 1 was lost. I spoke to park guys I know and they found no evidence of a natural mishap. My guess...the snapping turtle had an amazing dinner. It is the circle of life so....but still. Last yr they had 4 again. 1 was stolen by some drunk (so I was told) and the other was sick, very very sick. I went when with Animal services to check on little one. Being as I know parents well and they come when they hear my tupperware dish shake with all the corn they can eat, Animal service came with canoe and trapped the small sick cygnet not allowing parents to come close. It broke my heart but needed to be done. Not enough corn in the world to stop the parents from attack mode. Another animal service person stood in canoe to try and keep parents back. Later found out that the little one died of malnutriton. This in part is thanks to all the peole that think feeding the birds bread is a good thing. Feeding especially young birds bread is like candy. No nutrious value what so ever, and like us it gives you a full feeling but no real value. this is what happens. So people, when they ask you don't feed the birds they first mean bread they are not trying to be mean. It is for the sake of the birds. Feel so bad for these amazing parents, loosing another one this yr. Fingers crossed the 3 remain good.
(i know some may have edited out water marks but they were there, so why take them out. Maybe prettier to some, but it is what and how I saw it. NOTHING AGAINST EDITING WHAT SO EVER, just not for me. Hope I didn't offend anyone)
Happy Telegraph Tuesday
Actually, this medivac helicopter is returning to it's base at the Lakeville, MN airport.

Warning sign found at the beach, but I think when you can only see the hands waving, it might be to late to help that person or.....?
Help! This year is running much too fast! It has only just begun and six days are already over! Slow down year!
Hilfe! Dieses Jahr ist einfach zu schnell! Jetzt hat's doch erst gerade angefangen und schon ist es sechs Tage alt! Brems doch, du Jahr, du!

In his beautiful palace by the sea, the Prince of the Peacocks proudly shows his betrothed, Princess Petunia his prized pet parrot, and offers her a posy of pretty petunias.
The theme for “Smile on Saturday” for the 20th of July is “P… in the picture”, where the image can be anything, but must contain something that begins with the letter P. That left me lots of choices. I had a few runners-up that were photographed first, such as a peridot and pearl pin, and my beloved Paddington bear, but in the end the Playmobil won out because I could include multiple items beginning with the letter P: prince, princess, peacocks, parrots, a perch, a posy of petunias, and even for those of you who are very observant, a grey pigeon amongst the white and blue doves. Even the background is a P for it is made of paper, as is the floor, which is patterned, and since everything else in this picture is Playmobil, I would say that it is practically perfect for the theme! I hope you think so too, and that it brings a smile to your face!
Playmobil is a line of toys produced by the Brandstätter Group, headquartered in Zirndorf, Germany. Production began in 1974. Playmobil began to be sold worldwide in 1975, and by 2009, approximately 2.2 billion Playmobil figures had been sold. The signature Playmobil toy is a 7.5 cm tall human figure with a particular smiling face. A wide range of accessories, buildings and vehicles, as well as many sorts of animals, are also part of the Playmobil line. Playmobil toys are produced in themed series of sets as well as individual special figures and playsets. New products and product lines developed by a 50-strong development team are introduced frequently, and older sets are discontinued. Promotional and one-off products are sometimes produced in very limited quantities. These practices have helped give rise to a sizeable community of collectors.
In the summer of 2003, Crawford Hill on BNSF’s Butte Subdivision out of Alliance, Nebraska, featured at least three sets of Cascade green three-window EMD SD60M helper sets, mostly equipped with a fuel tender. On July 22, 2003, a trio of these former BN EMDs rolls downgrade at Breezy Point just west of Belmont, heading back to Crawford after pushing a BNSF coal train over the grade.
Rio Grande 5345, 5400, and 5406 were assigned to a manned helper set, shoving hard on UP's Denver, Colorado - Roper, Utah manifest freight in Price Canyon through the Kyune Tunnels on Aug. 21, 1999.
With the train looped at Dalwhinnie for a few minutes we were able to jump 66421 and the 4H47 05:05 Mossend to Inverness 'Tesco Express' intermodal and get a shot of the working from Crubenmore where the line closely follows the River Truim.

Previously unpublished shot of a juxtaposition that caught my attention - captured in January 2018.
The current 'cost of living crisis' is just the tip of the iceberg of coming problems for our society. Ukraine is basically the breadbasket of Europe and together with grain from the invading nation, Russia, we will be seeing massive shortages of staple crops and increasing food prices for all. Millions will be choosing between food and shelter or warmth. The top six energy companies in the UK made £1bn in profits last year and yet energy prices are going through the roof - my own energy bill has risen by 124% and I already strictly keep my energy use down for the sake of our planet!
There is enough wealth in this world to end poverty on this scale. When should a humane society consider that food, water, shelter and warmth are basic human necessities that everyone ought to be entitled to? Instead of taxing wealth, however, we take from the ordinary folks and the poorest suffer. I'm not expressing my politics here and you can draw no conclusions from my thoughts on that, but I am expressing my basic humanity. We are one species sharing one tiny planet in the vastness of space. Why do we not care more about our fellow humankind? When do we consider that we actually need to help each other?
Stay safe my Flickr friends.

A three unit helper composed of a pair of SD70ACEs bracketing an SD40-2 are at Muir, MP 127.1 on Montana Rail Link's 2nd Sub mainline and the west end of an 8685 ft passing siding. The three units are have just cut off the rear of a westbound manifest that has made the climb to the top of 5702 ft Bozeman Pass and is already in the 3652 ft summit tunnel just out of sight to the left. The helpers are starting back light headed east downhill to Livingston where a loaded coal train is awaiting their assistance for another run up the grades of the old Main Street of the Northwest.
