Bill Withers- Lovely Day (1977) www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYi7uEvEEmk

Turning another silent into a violent night. A methodical violence that is: disturbing the dead and the dead-asleep alike. Hootin’, rootin’ and a tootin’ – Cowboys and their metal mares – as if nightmarish apparitions ridin’ into some souled high plains town on steel horses to wrangle then, just as quickly as they appear, steal away with the community’s bounty like booty. No, not like that nefarious ’69 cinematic Wild Bunch, but professionals. A Band of Brothers. Eastern Washington Gateway Railroaders. Die-hards. In fact. Present day grunts armed with orders to take; comms to coordinate the taking; the skill to execute the taking near effortlessly; the precision to take as efficiently as possible. Boots-on-the-ground, got each other's six operators operating on the cusp of railroading past. High above, the recently retired CWGG wheat laurels logo still and still will herald the arrival and departure of this timeless cacophony as it will the corrugated crib elevator with its bearing friction 40’ cars box platform permanently chained, rusted in the upright position. A scene, but for the crew van, anachronistic: may as well be unfolding in 1968 instead of a half-century later. Whatever century it may be, or what wristed analog standard railroad time, or obstacle, the objective is accomplished. Always. (© 08Jun18)

Since it was rather dark, I decided to illuminate these flowers using my iPhone; certainly not a strobe light or softbox, but still effective.

Enjoyed the Texas Steak Cookoff in Hico today. Some of the best cooking/eating around. This guy is making peach cobbler in a dutch oven on the back of his chuckwagon, it was awesome! Had plenty of ribeye steak to eat today as well.

Before Europeans settled here, the Kiewa Valley was an annual meeting place for six Aboriginal tribes where they gathered to perform rituals and sort out their grievances. They also enjoyed a good feed of Bogong moths that prefer to breed here in the summer months, it's cool this morning at 6°C (42°F).

Kiewa means sweet water.

If there ever were a case of atherosclerosis in BNSF’s vast cardiovascular rail system, the famed infamous “Funnel,” so famously coined by my friend Bruce Kelly so many Kodachrome boxes past, may well be the epitome thereof. The amount of non-stop (figuratively speaking), bidirectional-traffic pumped through this constricted chemin de fer construct at its most acute less than three-mile-short, 21-foot tie-end to concrete tie-end narrows – between Napa & Lee Street Junction and Sunset Junction – is a feat worthy of a standalone Discovery series, if not a Modern Marvels feature, or a modern-day History Channel “Hell on Wheels.” Here, just East of the geographic center of Spokane, the epicenter of The Funnel, it’s 21:35 of any given night or day, and Main Two has very little exposed rail as one eastbound after the other in “Train Ahead” formation follows on the DPU’s dim of the previous in a more stop than go precession. Meanwhile Main One is the antithesis as Boyer West shoots WB-after-WB out of Hauser 23 east-miles as rapidly as safe, making room for the in-frame and following eastbounds. In what may seem as arbitrary minutes, this grain empty will ease ahead keeping measured distance as the train behind it inches its way forward and so on an so forth ad infinitum. (© 24Jul18)

A Jack goes to pot in Chamberlin on ex-Milwaukee Road real estate, Dakota Southern. One can only wonder if this once celebrated “Centennial” – DDA40X 6925 – will ever be restored, or simply saved from her agonizing demise of slowly-but-surely oxidizing into the central South Dakota color-rust earth. Aside from serving as an eight-thousand gallon fuel bunker, having been plundered of her dynamic braking apparatus, and otherwise donor of homogeneous EMD parts, the near 100-foot-long, head-hanging sixty-six-hundred horse dreadnaught, shamefully moored along the shores of the mighty Mo nowhere near the open seas of amber waves of wheat and sand she once plied, still appears ripe for resurrection. Hopefully, her owner will consider her historical significance and act, for posterity’s sake, soon. (© 28Aug18)

@denoswonderwheelpark The ‪#‎wonderwheel‬ was erected in 1920 and stands 150 feet high and holds 144 people at once. Its unusual design for a ‪#‎ferriswheel‬ incorporates sections of curved tracks connecting an outer wheel and a smaller inner wheel, with 16 swinging cars which roll back and forth between the two wheels. There are also 8 stationary cars. All of the cars give riders panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean. We not only love riding on this Ferris wheel but also love the park's ‪#‎vintage‬ ‪#‎neonsign‬ depicting its colorful ride! ‪#‎coneyisland‬ ‪#‎americana‬ ‪#‎ig_nycity‬ ‪#‎IGS_NYC‬ ‪#‎ig_nyc‬ ‪#‎insta_america‬ ‪#‎vintagesign‬ ‪#‎insta_america_americana‬ ‪#‎just_unitedstates‬ ‪#‎ig_signage‬ ‪#‎signgeeks‬ ‪#‎neongeeks‬ ‪#‎neon‬ ‪#‎SignCollective‬ ‪#‎typevstime‬ ‪#‎typography‬ ‪#‎jj_texttypographical‬ ‪#‎trb_ipoft_signs‬ ‪#‎ipulledoverforthis‬ ‪#‎tv_retrotype‬

The building was one of the tallest structures on the Upper West Side when Henry Grimm, who operated a grocery on the ground floor and lived with his family above the saloon, had it built.
