1 Peter 1:6-9 PHILLIPS
This means tremendous joy to you, I know, even though you are temporarily harassed by all kinds of trials and temptations. This is no accident -- it happens to prove your faith, which is infinitely more valuable than gold, and gold, as you know, even though it is ultimately perishable, must be purified by fire. This proving of your faith is planned to bring you praise and honour and glory in the day when Jesus Christ reveals himself. And though you have never seen him, yet I know that you love him. At present you trust him without being able to see him, and even now he brings you a joy that words cannot express and which has in it a hint of the glories of Heaven; and all the time you are receiving the result of your faith in him -- the salvation of your own souls.

Visit: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schooner
A schooner (/ˈskuːnər/) is a type of sailing vessel defined by its rig: fore-and-aft rigged on all of two or more masts and, in the case of a two-masted schooner, the foremast generally being shorter than the mainmast. A common variant, the topsail schooner also has a square topsail on the foremast, to which may be added a topgallant. Differing definitions leave uncertain whether the addition of a fore course would make such a vessel a brigantine. Many schooners are gaff-rigged, but other examples include Bermuda rig and the staysail schooner.
The origins of schooner rigged vessels is obscure, but there is good evidence of them from the early 17th century in paintings by Dutch marine artists. The name "schooner" first appeared in eastern North America in the early 1700s. The name may be related to a Scots word meaning to skip over water,] or to skip stones.
The schooner rig was used in vessels with a wide range of purposes. On a fast hull, good ability to windward was useful for privateers, blockade runners, slave ships, smaller naval craft and opium clippers. Packet boats (built for the fast conveyance of passengers and goods) were often schooners. Fruit schooners were noted for their quick passages, taking their perishable cargoes on routes such as the Azores to Britain. Some pilot boats adopted the rig. The fishing vessels that worked the Grand Banks of Newfoundland were schooners, and held in high regard as an outstanding development of the type. In merchant use, the ease of handling in confined waters and smaller crew requirements made schooners a common rig, especially in the 19th century. Some schooners worked on deep sea routes. In British home waters, schooners usually had cargo-carrying hulls that were designed to take the ground in drying harbours (or, even, to unload dried out on an open beach). The last of these once-common craft had ceased trading by the middle of the 20th century. Some very large schooners with five or more masts were built in the United States from circa 1880–1920. They mostly carried bulk cargoes such as coal and timber. In yachting, schooners predominated in the early years of the America's Cup. In more recent times, schooners have been used as sail training ships.

This is a view of Mummy Cave, a rock shelter on the left bank of the North Fork of the Shoshone River in Park County, Wyoming. It lies adjacent to US Highway 14-16-20 (Yellowstone or North Fork Highway) east of Yellowstone National Park. Archaeologists showed interest in the site starting in 1962. Subsequently excavated by the Buffalo Bill Historical Center the site yielded radiocarbon dates that indicate occupation between 7280 years BC to AD 1580. The site comprised 38 cultural strata representing cultures ranging from late Paleoindian to the Late Prehistoric period. The primary and most significant cultural component identified in the occupation strata was the McKean Complex which places the site in the Plains Archaic tradition. Unusually dry circumstances in the site resulted in the preservation of many perishable materials which are not normally preserved in prehistoric context. Among these materials are fragments and artifacts of wood, hide, and feathers. Many of the features discovered were hearths. Other artifacts included projectile points, chipped stone knives and scrapers, faunal remains and tubular bone pipes. Significantly, archaeologists discovered a very well preserved burial, that area residents nicknamed ''Mummy Joe’’. He was evidently one of the human occupants of the cave during the earlier of the two Late Prehistoric occupations dated 1230 years ago. From the clothing and other items found with this individual, it was concluded that he held high status among his contemporaries. The name of the site derives from this discovery. Mummy Cave is listed on the National Registry of Historic Places.

Puzzling over the term "wet", I looked it up. In Asia, this refers to fresh produce like meat, fish, vegetables, fruit, and other perishable goods. In contrast, "dry" markets sell durable goods such as fabrics and electronics.

This enchanted garden is less than three hours from Toronto, and, because of it's eerie vibe, is the perfect spot to visit for those interested in the spooky and unusual.
The Screaming Heads are located in Burk's Falls, and is half-art gallery, half-outdoor playground.
This surreal property is owned and operated by the Screaming Heads artist himself, Peter Camani, on his 300-acre land.
Visitors are welcome to wander around and admire the 20-ft concrete sculptures that adorn his gardens, including heads and hands that seem to be exploding out of the earth - making the property feel otherworldly.
Often referred to as Ontario's Stonehenge, the arrangement of the artwork may seem random, but seen from above, you'll discover the concrete sculptures form the shape of a dragon.
The Screaming Heads of Midlothian is open year round, but perhaps is best seen in fall because of the vibrant autumn foliage of the Almaguin Highlands Region.
Although it's free to enter, there is a donation box at the entrance, and visitors are encouraged to bring donations of non-perishable food items for the Burk's Falls and District Food Bank.

Angkor Thom"Great City", located in present-day Cambodia, was the last and most enduring capital city of the Khmer empire. It was established in the late twelfth century by King Jayavarman VII.:378–382:170
It covers an area of 9 km², within which are located several monuments from earlier eras as well as those established by Jayavarman and his successors. At the centre of the city is Jayavarman's state temple, the Bayon, with the other major sites clustered around the Victory Square immediately to the north.
Map of Central Angkor Thom
Angkor Thom was established as the capital of Jayavarman VII's empire, and was the centre of his massive building programme. One inscription found in the city refers to Jayavarman as the groom and the city as his bride.:121
Angkor Thom seems not to be the first Khmer capital on the site, however. Yasodharapura, dating from three centuries earlier, was centred slightly further northwest, and Angkor Thom overlapped parts of it. The most notable earlier temples within the city are the former state temple of Baphuon, and Phimeanakas, which was incorporated into the Royal Palace. The Khmers did not draw any clear distinctions between Angkor Thom and Yashodharapura: even in the fourteenth century an inscription used the earlier name.:138 The name of Angkor Thom—great city—was in use from the 16th century.
The last temple known to have been constructed in Angkor Thom was Mangalartha, which was dedicated in 1295. Thereafter the existing structures continued to be modified from time to time, but any new creations were in perishable materials and have not survived.
The Ayutthaya Kingdom, led by King Borommarachathirat II, sacked Angkor Thom, forcing the Khmers under Ponhea Yat to relocate their capital southeast.:29
Angkor Thom was abandoned some time prior to 1609, when an early western visitor wrote of an uninhabited city, "as fantastic as the Atlantis of Plato".:140 It is believed to have sustained a population of 80,000–150,000 people.

The pair of H2 C44-9Ws on point were built within a couple months of each other and still in fresh paint, pulling everything from industrial goods, lumber, and perishables including a classic Western Fruit Express refrigerated reefer up front. The WFE was formed by the Great Northern and the Fruit Growers Express back in 1923 to compete with the Pacific Fruit Express and the comparable Santa Fe service in the west. The reefer could theoretically be loaded with frozen meat for export at Seattle/Tacoma and return east with Washington produce like apples.
The duo are assisted by a venerable EMD four pack helper set mid-train, all in different fallen flag/leaser schemes - the set will be featured in Part 2.

I declare to you, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God,
nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.
Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed— in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet.
For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable,
and we will be changed.
For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable,
and the mortal with immortality.
When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable,
and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true:"
Death has been swallowed up in victory."
"Where, O death, is your victory?
Where, O death, is your sting?"
The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.

A couple years ago the Frosty's Village team (Melissa & Christina (shown here) along with Annie and Leah and Robert) started putting up the same Frosty inflatable, hoping to brighten up their neighbourhood. That grew into a campaign to see if the neighbours would band together and put up as many Frostys as possible. If you want to join in on the fun, Christina has a few Frostys ready to go. They’re building on last year's great success and it's become a MUST-SEE nighttime drive thru for your family in December with about 100 Frostys up so far. So many Frostys went up last weekend, and now is a great time to visit and count all the Frostys in Frosty’s village. They partnered with @burlfoodbank to collect food donations as well – the food drive will run for the month of December. When you visit Frosty’s Village consider dropping off a non-perishable food item at 1148 Lockhart Rd! It is well lit with two Frostys, some signage and a bin for your donation!
The ice works above Sourton are among the stranger features of Dartmoor's history. Opened in 1875 and operated commercially for just a few years, the ice works were excavated on the north facing hillside beneath Sourton Tors and used to collect ice in the winter months for the preservation and transport of perishable foods to Plymouth. You can still see the shallow banked ponds and, when the temperature drops, ice forms where water pools from ephemeral streams and natural runoff. Although the history is fascinating, the ice works themselves don't make very interesting photographic subjects. The ice crystals, however, that's another matter. I spent some time photographing their intricate structure with my macro lens before sunset (see previous image).

"Perishable, it said on the plastic container,
and below, in different ink,
the date to be used by, the last teaspoon consumed.
I found myself looking:
now at the back of each hand,
now inside the knees,
now turning over each foot to look at the sole.
Then at the leaves of the young tomato plants,
then at the arguing jays.
Under the wooden table and lifted stones, looking.
Coffee cups, olives, cheeses,
hunger, sorrow, fears—
these too would certainly vanish, without knowing when.
How suddenly then
the strange happiness took me,
like a man with strong hands and strong mouth,
inside that hour with its perishing perfumes and clashings."

This iconic bird is in big trouble. Once very common in northern forests of North America, Canada Jay now is disappearing. The naturalist at the Sax Zim Bog (Northern Minnesota) talked about the future of Canada's national bird, Canada Jay, also called Grey Jay.
According to the naturalist and a recent study, fluctuating weather patterns caused by climate change are threatening Canada jays' food sources — and for future generations of Canada jays, this could spell disaster. Canada jays don’t migrate south for food and warmth during the colder winter months, but these birds rather store thousands of food items in caches during the summer and rely on these food sources to survive in Canada year-round.
While many animals with hoarding behaviors store non-perishable food for the winter, like nuts, Canada jays prefer a diet of meat, berries, and other perishables. They coat these items in a layer of saliva before "glueing" them to high-up of tree branches where they’re safe from heavy snowfall. Since winters in Canada typically are cold with below freezing temperatures, Canada jays use the natural environment as a freezer for perishable food. How clever!
As long as temperatures stay below freezing, this method of food caching is able to keep Canada jays fed throughout the winter months. If temperatures fluctuate above and below the freezing point, however, these cached food sources are more likely to spoil, and Canada jays will have less to eat, and the quality of their food is poor as a result. Also, according to the studies, a greater number of freeze-thaw cycles resulted in smaller, weaker offspring that were less likely to survive.
The Canada jay nests in late winter (right now), incubating its eggs in temperatures that may drop below minus 20°F. While the female alone incubates, the male brings food for her, so she can stay at the nest, protecting and keeping it warm. With spoiled food caches, the female has to leave the nest to find food and feed herself.
There were tiny patches of snow, if any, and temperature in Northern Minnesota was between 35-43 degrees of Fahrenheit (2-6 C) in the beginning of February 2024.
CSXT MP15AC 1138 carefully goes to pull an empty tank car from an otherwise out of service spur behind an old warehouse that was set out earlier from WCO Enterprises, now Flamm Industries, located at the end of the line behind me. We nicknamed this spur the "tank car in the woods" as it was always extremely overgrown and usually found a lone tank car buried in the weeds at the very end. Service was regular but very hard to catch, as they only switched this customer about twice a month, with the car getting emptied slowly over roughly two weeks. WCO received loads of wax in the tank cars to manufacture waxed boxes, which are used to shield perishables or any other products from harsh environments during transit or storage. Unfortunately, the spur has seen no service in roughly two years now for whatever reason; If I had to guess CSX probably finally found a good enough reason to refuse service.
I was only lucky enough to catch them back here twice, so it's sad to see the operation gone. That leaves just four active customers by Export yard: Jones Chemical, Crowley, Owens Corning, and Lehigh Cement. WCO and Steelcon Supply have dropped off in the last 2-3 years and Portside Paper vacated their warehouse in 2017. Jacksonville, FL

InnovaLUG presents the Isles of Aura! Pop in some earbuds and listen as you look!
The 18th day of the 9th month.
I find myself in an irritating situation. A sudden storm struck two nights ago and broke the mainmast on my trusty trading ship. My partner took the boat to the nearest town to repair it while I took inventory of our remaining supplies, but that was many hours ago and he should be back. Probably off chit-chatting with his friends in town. He always was one for listening to all the gossip. He better get back before the trade winds turn or we’ll have a long wait and will lose some of the perishable goods. Hmmph.
Renier is a traveling merchant and peddler who makes his living transporting merchandise from one far-flung island to another, trading goods with farmers and settlers who rarely travel to cities and towns. This is his supply depot, a place to store goods between trips.
EDIT: You can now see a video of all the Isles of Aura Builds as well.

The Sacred Cenote is a water-filled sinkhole in limestone at the pre-Columbian Maya archaeological site of Chichen Itza, in the northern Yucatán Peninsula. It is located to the north of Chichen Itza's civic precinct, to which it is connected by a 300-metre sacbe, a raised pathway.
According to both Maya and Spanish post-Conquest sources, pre-Columbian Maya deposited valuables and human bodies into the cenote as a form of sacrifice to the rain god Chaac.
Edward Herbert Thompson dredged the Cenote Sagrado from 1904 to 1910, and recovered artifacts of gold, jade, pottery, and incense, as well as human remains. Beginning in the 1950s several Mexican-driven projects were conducted in the cenote, including a 1961 project that used an airlift dredge.
The northwestern Yucatán Peninsula is a limestone plain, with no rivers or streams, lakes or ponds. The region is pockmarked with natural sinkholes, called cenotes, which expose the water table to the surface. One of the most impressive of these is the Sacred Cenote, which is 60 metres in diameter and surrounded by sheer cliffs that drop to the water table some 27 metres below.
According to sources, the Sacred Cenote was a place of pilgrimage for ancient Maya people who would conduct sacrifices into it. As Friar Diego de Landa observed in 1566 after visiting Chichen Itza:
"Into this well they have had, and then had, the custom of throwing men alive as a sacrifice to the gods, in times of drought, and they believed that they did not die though they never saw them again. They also threw into it a great many other things, like precious stones and things which they prized. And so, if this country had possessed gold, it would be this well that would have the great part of it."
Archaeological investigations have removed thousands of objects from the bottom of the cenote, including artifacts made from gold, jadeite, copal, pottery, flint, obsidian, shell, wood, rubber, and cloth, as well as human skeletons.
Many perishable objects were preserved by the cenote. Wooden objects which normally would have rotted were preserved in the water. A great variety of wooden objects have been found including weapons, scepters, idols, tools, and jewelry. Jade was the largest category of objects found, followed by textiles. The presence of jade, gold and copper in the cenote offers proof of the importance of Chichén Itzá as a cultural city center.
None of these raw materials are native to the Yucatán, which indicates that they were valuable objects brought to Chichén Itzá from other places in Central America and then sacrificed as an act of worship. Pottery, stone, bone and shells were also found in the cenote. Archaeologists have found that many objects show evidence of being intentionally damaged before being thrown into the cenote, and have speculated that this intentional damage is meant to be analogous to “killing” the object as a sacrifice.

They partnered with @burlfoodbank to collect food donations as well – the food drive will run for the month of December. When you visit Frosty’s Village consider dropping off a non-perishable food item at 1148 Lockhart Rd! It is well lit with two Frostys, some signage and a bin for your donation!

Excerpt from facebook.com:
A couple years ago the Frosty's Village team (Melissa & Christina (shown here) along with Annie and Leah and Robert) started putting up the same Frosty inflatable, hoping to brighten up their neighbourhood. That grew into a campaign to see if the neighbours would band together and put up as many Frostys as possible. If you want to join in on the fun, Christina has a few Frostys ready to go.

Angkor Thom"Great City", located in present-day Cambodia, was the last and most enduring capital city of the Khmer empire. It was established in the late twelfth century by King Jayavarman VII.:378–382:170
It covers an area of 9 km², within which are located several monuments from earlier eras as well as those established by Jayavarman and his successors. At the centre of the city isJayavarman's state temple, the Bayon, with the other major sites clustered around the Victory Square immediately to the north.

Angkor Thom was established as the capital of Jayavarman VII's empire, and was the centre of his massive building programme. One inscription found in the city refers to Jayavarman as the groom and the city as his bride.:121
Angkor Thom seems not to be the first Khmer capital on the site, however. Yasodharapura, dating from three centuries earlier, was centred slightly further northwest, and Angkor Thom overlapped parts of it. The most notable earlier temples within the city are the former state temple of Baphuon, and Phimeanakas, which was incorporated into the Royal Palace. The Khmers did not draw any clear distinctions between Angkor Thom and Yashodharapura: even in the fourteenth century an inscription used the earlier name.:138 The name of Angkor Thom—great city—was in use from the 16th century.
The last temple known to have been constructed in Angkor Thom was Mangalartha, which was dedicated in 1295. Thereafter the existing structures continued to be modified from time to time, but any new creations were in perishable materials and have not survived.
The Ayutthaya Kingdom, led by King Borommarachathirat II, sacked Angkor Thom, forcing the Khmers under Ponhea Yat to relocate their capital southeast.:29
Angkor Thom was abandoned some time prior to 1609, when an early western visitor wrote of an uninhabited city, "as fantastic as the Atlantis of Plato".:140 It is believed to have sustained a population of 80,000–150,000 people.
