Peeling Tree Bark Disease - Hardwood trees that have peeling bark may be suffering from a fungal disease called Hypoxylon canker. Peeling bark caused by this disease is accompanied by yellowing and wilting leaves and dying branches. In addition, the wood under the peeling bark is covered with a mat of fungus. There is no cure for this disease and the tree should be removed and the wood destroyed to prevent the spread of the fungus. Cut down the tree as soon as possible to prevent damage and injury from falling branches.

These front-line firefighters battling this Dodge Durango SUV fire here in Louisville, Kentucky, USA were outstanding. They put their lives on the line for us all each and every day.
After standing still in the water for quite some time I turned to look around and realized I was completely surrounded by a circle of fish - mostly bluegill, crappie, bass, some unknown, and many small fries. Even without pink nail polish they are attracted to humans and very curious, swimming up to my hands much like the tropical fish in the Caribbean. Pancake would not venture near these spawning beds and stayed on the shore under her favorite tree. Unfortunately snorkeling is not permitted in this lake for whatever reasons. Snakes, perhaps.
The dust conditions here are horrendous - residents with respiratory ailments, especially the young and elderly, struggle to breathe. Many are plagued with eye ailments and cataracts due to the constant exposure and corneal abrasions due to dust and grit long term. Our government, however is happy with the progress they've made in spite of the human and environmental repercussions.
Hopefully in the near future the dozens of construction and earth-moving sites upstream (as well as the government inspectors) will be more diligent with their soil erosion and sediment control measures to protect the humans, wildlife, animals, lakes and waterways here in Kentucky and adhere to laws in place to protect habitats such as this one. And hopefully local residents and visitors will one day be more diligent about taking their trash, cans, bottles, litter and fishing line strewn across the park home with them to either dispose or recycle .

Why pay for Garra-Rufa (Doctor Fish) pedicures when you can get them for free?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_fish
"Doctor fish facilities at spa resorts exist in many countries worldwide. In 2006, doctor fish spa resorts opened in Kangal, Turkey, Hakone, Japan, and Umag, Croatia, where the fish are used to clean the bathers at the spa.[citation needed] In 2008, two widely known doctor fish pedicure services were opened in the United States in Alexandria, Virginia, and in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Wisconsin ordered the closure of the doctor fish service shortly after its opening. In 2010 the first spa opened in the United Kingdom in Sheffield.[3][2][6][7] In 2011 the UK Health Protection Agency issued a report assigning a "very low" risk of transferring infection from the procedure.[8]
The practice is banned in several of the states in the United States and Canadian provinces as cosmetology regulators believe the practice is unsanitary, with the Wall Street Journal saying that "cosmetology regulations generally mandate that tools need to be discarded or sanitized after each use. But epidermis-eating fish are too expensive to throw away".[7] The procedure is legal in Quebec, with a few clinics in Montreal.[9] The animal rights organization People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals denounces the practice, citing callous methods of international transportation and suggesting that the fish are deliberately starved between treatments to force them to take this abnormal food.[10]"
This quality workmanship is courtesy of Northern Suffolk - oh, I'm sorry- it's Norfolk Southern railways. Expect a "bump". Apparently no one ever noticed the sign in front of this crossing which gives the number to call in the event there is a problem. Or they did notice, called and the calls were ignored. Not sure which but time will tell. Tucker Station Road, Louisville, KY 40299, USA.
Their current slogan is: Progress, Prosperity, Planet, People - from their 2018 Social Responsibility Report: www.nscorp.com/content/dam/nscorp/get-to-know-ns/about-ns...
FWIW, there is a State Nature Preserve immediately downstream of these tracks within walking distance (Blackacre Convservancy and Historic Homestead). I'm not sure how these crossings could have gone unnoticed by visitors to this protected area. Surely they would have felt their vehicles bottoming out.
To report a problem or emergency - 1-800-946-4744
Remember to provide the crossing # (x-ing) - 735 542R
Norfolk Southern Operator 2050 (they say they cannot give their names) took the call. She listened to the information. I do like the idea of giving a number instead of just "Jodi" like CSX did, although CSX's response on-site was stellar.
NTSB referred me to Federal Rail Commission - they didn't have the number. "You can look it up on their website".

Actually, the gentleman on the right was wandering around this huge parking lot, stumbling, drooling, and eventually sat back onto some snow and laid down. What was so great about this scenario is the Burger King associates noticed this and sprung into action as they went outside and stood over him (he eventually was able to sit up, then stand up again) until the police arrived. One gentleman who stopped in a passing truck said he'd notified the police as he had a Son who was disabled and not able to walk and he was very concerned. Humanity is alive and well at Burger King.
The officers handled this very, very well. No one was beaten up. Eventually three officers were on the scene and all of them were very professional. I tip my hat to them on this one.
As I understood from what i could hear, he'd wandered from his Grandmother's house quite a distance away. There appeared to be some medication conflicts.
Burger King, unlike McDonald's, does not have a problem with customers or visitors using their phone to make 911 calls, if need be, which is always good to know.
Charles Benedict Carver founded the Maryland Agricultural College at Riversdale. It would later become the University of Maryland and thus home to the mascot a Maryland Terrapin.
SAFETY:
Model-by-model road accident statistics from the UK Department for Transport show that the Land Rover Defender is one of the safest cars on British roads as measured by chance of death in two-car injury accidents.[46] The figures, which were based on data collected by police forces following accidents between 2000 and 2004 in Great Britain, showed that Defender drivers had a 1% chance of being killed or seriously injured and a 33% chance of sustaining any kind of injury. Other four-wheel-drive vehicles scored equally highly, and collectively these vehicles were much safer for their passengers than those in other classes such as passenger cars and MPVs. These figures reflect the fact that drivers of large mass vehicles are likely to be safer, often at the expense of other drivers if they collide with smaller cars.
Spotted inside a Louisville Metro Government / Jefferson County office building. Yes, there are people working in there. Not sure if our Mayor does. Note the open, exposed wires w. system anchored on a small piece of plywood. Spare parts on top.

"Tropical Depression" Harvey slowly taking over the Southeast. According to NOAA this "depression" was passing through Mississippi while kids played basketball here in Louisville, Kentucky, USA. Looks like this harmless "depression" might need some Prozac. www.nhc.noaa.gov/graphics_at4.shtml?cone
We visited Mohammed Ali's grave site in Louisville, KY, USA and it is indeed a beautiful site. It is said he wanted a modest burial place. The caretaker there today noted Ali had come himself to choose this particular site, and well chosen it is. In comparison with other memorials in this cemetery, it is indeed humble, beautifully designed, maintained and watched over. There are benches on each side of the steps if one wishes to sit and reflect and there is a small urn where passersby drop change after walking up a small grouping of solidly placed stone steps. It is beautifully landscaped with petunias, dahlias, ivy, begonias and other bright, colorful flowers. This is definitely a peaceful, inspiring place and well worth the visit. Pictured: Nadia and David.
About our friend, Nadia:
Nadia Kennedy (adopted name), born 10/16/98, was possibly born in Kiev, Ukraine. She relays that her birth parents in Russia were reported to the government as being addicts and alcoholics and their neighbors called the police on them. Both babies (or toddlers) Nadia and her sister were removed from the home and placed in separate "baby houses", aka a place where they sorted out babies to determine which were healthy enough to stay in Russia and which would be offered out to other nations for care and adoption.
Nadia stated her sister is one year younger than she is. Her sister's birthday is 8/4/99. She wants to locate her sister. Please do share this link/photo with anyone you know who might know the whereabouts of her long lost Ukraine sister.
Nadia says she was born with fetal alcohol syndrome. You can read about fetal alcohol syndrome here: www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/fasd/facts.html
Her maternal adopted Grandparents currently reside Woodbury, NJ. Her adoptive parents currently reside in Florida.
