Pressure's all around
myself,my neck,my soul my heart
Suffocated,agonized, DEAD!
By the pressure's all around
Today was Darek's Saturday. He pressure washed & painted the garage door. It looks 100 times better.

Peer pressure. It's a mother......
It is something that we have all experienced at one point in our lives. If it was not in middle school, then it was definitely in high school. And for many people, peer pressure can be found years later in the workplace as well.
You're preaching to the choir here. When I hired on the railroad in 1994, peer pressure was everywhere. It could be found in the yard office, crew room, and even in the locomotive cab.
As a young and recently promoted engineer, you want to run a good train and establish a good reputation with the old head conductors. I would do my very best to keep the train at track speed and follow the rules to the best of my abilities at the time.
What surprised me was the peer pressure I received for trying to operate the train in a manner that kept us both out of the poop! A vast majority of the old heads then could care less about doing it right. If I had a dollar for everytime I heard "That's why I have job insurance kid," I would be retired by now!
Over time, I understood how these guys became so jaded. Technology constantly kept whittling away at jobs, from brakemen, flag men, to firemen. And if it wasn't technology, then it was line redundancy. Believe it or not, there was still friction between the Pennsy, Central, and Erie guys in 1994 from the creation of Conrail 18 years earlier!
It is amazing how times have changed since then. Now the peer pressure has been turned the opposite direction. With so much new technology in the locomotive cab, it will be very difficult to not want to do things correctly. After all, the locomotive's event recorder does not lie!
This sign stands adjacent to the pad at the T-Center in Toledo, Ohio. This location probably sees 50-60 trains a day change crews. The Safety Committee erected the sign in hopes of channeling peer pressure in a positive direction. For me, it is a breath of fresh air compared to 25 years ago.
Peer Pressure.
Kelvin's Harmonic Analyser. Science Museum, London.
An excellent example of 1878 engineering from Irish physicist William Thomson (Lord Kelvin) used to measure atmospheric pressure and temperature. But completely useless in the kitchen (for chopping carrots, potatoes or geese...) as the following proves:
"This machine is designed to compute the eleven coefficients A0, A1, B1, ... A5, B5. The tidal record is displayed on the horizontal drum in the centre of the picture. The drum is linked by gearing to the eleven disks, part of eleven disk-sphere-cylinder integrators. If the drum advances t units, the leftmost disk rotates t radians, the next two disks rotate sin (v1t)/v1 and -cos(v1t)v1 radians, respectively, the third and fourth disks rotate sin (v2t)/v2 and -cos(v2t)/2 radians, respectively, etc. As the drum turns, the vertical pointer tracks the height of H(t). The eleven integrator spheres move in unison with the pointer. At the end, the total distance rolled by each cylinder will record one of the eleven desired integrals. Dividing by the length of the record yields the corresponding coefficient."
@dawngeretyart taps the @girdwood_brewing_co strawberry basil Kolsh Firkin on Saturday. This was timely for me since I hadn't come up with an idea for this week's 'pressure' photo assignment yet.

SOOC shot testing the capabilities of the new gear. Mine too come to think of it.

Rocket is under pressure to come off the sofa because the cover is not on. His response is to avoid eye contact and stare off into the corner of the room. Clever clogs!!
At one atmosphere (average pressure at ground level), a Styrofoam cup is 90% air. At depth (such as the 320 atmospheres of pressure at Titanic - one atm per 10 metres), the air is squeezed out
and the cup shrinks; all that is left is polystyrene.
It is a tradition to place a bag of Styrofoam cups covered in Texta messages on the outside of a submersible when it does a deep dive. John Garvin has been a member of many James Cameron's expeditions and collected these mementoes, which also demonstrate the pressure that deep-sea submersibles withstand as they dive.
Watched “Encanto” with my kids. The character Luisa was the strong one that had to handle the family and town burdens. She had a catchy song “Surface Pressure”. I think most of us adults can relate to sometimes carrying too much and trying to just “keep it together”. This was a quick selfie to visualize what we do to keep ourselves together.

Pressing down on you'
A commuter boarding 2G13 17:08 Edinburgh Waverley to Glenrothes with Thornton doesn't seem to share my enthusiasm for haulage by 68007 'Valiant' as he boards the Friday evening peak service.
'Toads' by Philip Larkin
Why should I let the toad work
Squat on my life?
Can't I use my wit as a pitchfork
And drive the brute off?
Six days of the week it soils
With its sickening poison -
Just for paying a few bills!
That's out of proportion.
Lots of folk live on their wits:
Lecturers, lispers,
Losers, loblolly-men, louts-
They don't end as paupers;
Lots of folk live up lanes
With fires in a bucket,
Eat windfalls and tinned sardines-
They seem to like it.
Their nippers have got bare feet,
Their unspeakable wives
Are skinny as whippets - and yet
No one actually starves.
Ah, were I courageous enough
To shout, Stuff your pension!
But I know, all too well, that's the stuff
That dreams are made on:
For something sufficiently toad-like
Squats in me, too;
Its hunkers are heavy as hard luck,
And cold as snow,
And will never allow me to blarney
My way of getting
The fame and the girl and the money
All at one sitting.
I don't say, one bodies the other
One's spiritual truth;
But I do say it's hard to lose either,
When you have both.
