A shifter out of Danville, WV works the Wells Prep Plant near Van, WV with a gorgeous AC44 and a younger sister GE. The track gradient is really obvious here. The conductor on this job was very friendly. He came and chatted with me and a couple other goobs and made friends with Dakota the railfan pup.

This male kōlea is about two weeks from his annual migration to the Alaskan tundra. Looking fat and dapper in his breeding plumage, he will somehow sense the time to congregate with other previously solitary kōlea and depart collectively. The trip spans over approximately 3,000 miles of open ocean requiring a rigorous, energy intensive effort of 3 to 4 days and nights of nonstop flight at elevation ranging from 3,000 to 16,000 feet. Superb navigators with territorial fidelity, kōlea use the stars and the earth’s magnetic field to find their way over the featureless ocean to the same small patch of territory every year. They may use the earth’s magnetic field visually with the magnetoreception molecules of cryptochrome in their retina.
We parked in the University area to enjoy and short walk and found this sight. These logs were categorized and sectioned off as a preparation for delivery.

It's Saturday! And that means I get to cook a tasty meal to share with my folks (and Scott, who will complain about the spinach.... toddler).
Tonight's menu included stuffed pasta shells. I don't make them too often since the actual stuffing part of the prep is kind of a pain but they're a favourite of Mom & Dad and it has been a very long while since these have hit the dinner table.
Recipe for those who want to stuff shells. I don't really have a solid recipe.... this is more of a ... yeah, let's add that sort of thing for me so here's my best guess.
Ingredients:
Ricotta Cheese (1 container)
Mozzarella Cheese (maybe 1 cup in the mix, 1/2 of a cup to top)
Parmesan Cheese (maybe 1/3 of a cup)
Egg
Spinach (three handfuls...ish)
Dried Oregano (maybe 1/2 tbsp... I don't know, I just pour)
Dried Basil (maybe 1/2 tbsp... I don't know, I just pour)
Dried Parsley (maybe 1/2 tbsp... I don't know, I just pour)
Jumbo Pasta Shells (cooked, but still a bit firm)
Pasta sauce of your choice
How-to
1. Cook shells and strain, immediately rinse with cold water.
2. Heat up a frying pan and wilt the spinach. Cut in tiny pieces after cooking if you live with Scott or someone just as fickle. Tell him it's parsley (a family secret handed down by my Mother)
3. Mix dried spices, ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, and spinach together.
4. Spray a casserole dish with cooking spray and pour some pasta sauce in to coat the bottom of the dish
5. Stuff those shells! (I use a spoon, some people have recommended a piping bag... no matter what, I make a mess and end up using my hands) and place the stuffed shells in the casserole dish.
6. Top shells with more tasty sauce and sprinkle with extra cheese.
7. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes.
8. Enjoy!
The shells keep well for a couple days in the fridge, but if you're going to want to keep them around a little longer, throw those leftovers in the freezer!
Hope everyone has had a good day.
