If we all changed our prices that often would anyone do business with us - I doubt it!
I still don't get it - yesterday in the Toronto area gas was 75 cents a litre, today 90 cents.....whaaaa?
The tomb of Tutankhamun (reigned c. 1332–1323 BC), a pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty of ancient Egypt, is located in the Valley of the Kings. The tomb, also known by its tomb number KV62, consists of four chambers and an entrance staircase and corridor. It is smaller and less extensively decorated than other Egyptian royal tombs of its time, and it probably originated as a tomb for a non-royal individual that was adapted for Tutankhamun's use after his premature death. Like other pharaohs, Tutankhamun was buried with a wide variety of funerary objects and personal possessions, such as coffins, furniture, clothing and jewelry, though in the unusually limited space these goods had to be densely packed. Robbers entered the tomb twice in the years immediately following the burial, but Tutankhamun's mummy and most of the burial goods remained intact. The tomb's low position, dug into the floor of the valley, allowed its entrance to be hidden by debris deposited by flooding and tomb construction. Thus, unlike other tombs in the valley, it was not stripped of its valuables during the Third Intermediate Period (c. 1070–664 BC).
Tutankhamun's tomb was discovered in 1922 by excavators led by Howard Carter and his patron, George Herbert, 5th Earl of Carnarvon. As a result of the quantity and spectacular appearance of the burial goods, the tomb attracted a media frenzy and became the most famous find in the history of Egyptology. The discovery produced only limited evidence about the history of Tutankhamun's reign and the Amarna Period that preceded it, but it provided insight into the material culture of wealthy ancient Egyptians as well as patterns of ancient tomb robbery. Tutankhamun became one of the best-known pharaohs, and some artefacts from his tomb, such as his golden funerary mask, are among the best-known artworks from ancient Egypt.
Most of the tomb's goods were sent to the Egyptian Museum in Cairo and are now in the Grand Egyptian Museum in Giza, although Tutankhamun's mummy and sarcophagus are still on display in the tomb. Flooding and heavy tourist traffic have inflicted damage on the tomb since its discovery, and a replica of the burial chamber has been constructed nearby to reduce tourist pressure on the original tomb.

Minding my own business on a local walk about, I was alerted to a distant racket afar in the sky. This is a long shot of originally 4 birds.
On checking now, it's obvious that the buzzard had something that the ravens wanted and there was also a kestrel complaining too, but that flew off from this shot.

BILLY MINER:
Ezra Allen Miner (circa 1847 – September 2, 1913), more popularly known as Bill Miner.
Billy Miner was a infamous train robber.
It is believed that he staged British Columbia's first-ever train robbery on September 10, 1904 at Silverdale about 35 km east of Vancouver, just west of Mission City. It is often claimed that Miner was the robber, but neither he nor his accomplices were ever tied conclusively to the Silverdale heist. It is also widely reported that Silverdale's train robbery was the first in Canada.
****My Great Grandfather and family moved to Silverdale, BC just after the turn of the century.
My grandmother and her siblings were young children at the time.
The family homestead was situated just north of the railway tracks. Family stories say that Billy Miner used to jump off the train and seek shelter for the night in their barn.
I highly doubt that my Great grandfather knew at the time that Billy Miner was a known train and stagecoach robber or that he had previously served three prison terms in United States.

The Billy Miner Ale House according to online sources:
The large two storey wood framed structure (left), with its decorative parapet, was a typical main street commercial building back in the day. The Bank Manager & his family were housed on the spacious second floor apartment, which is still in use today. This was the third Bank of Montreal built in British Columbia and it operated as such until the entire Port Haney was ravaged by its third and final fire in 1932. The fire of 1932 is believed to have started in the Knox café due to a motor in a refrigerator. Businesses lost included the Barber Shop, Café, Dr’s Offices, the CPR Stations and the Freight Sheds. The Bank suffered minimal damage and the post office only lost the Mail due to water pumped off the Mighty Fraser River. Previous fires along the waterfront town were in 1910 and 1926. This last fire was the needed excuse for old Port Haney Businesses to move lock, stock and barrel to Upper Haney along both Sides of the newly built Lougheed Highway taking the Bank of Montreal with it. The building was later used for multi-residential purposes including Post World War II housing for veterans and their families awaiting new homes.
The Building had no cement foundation and had seriously deteriorated over the years, until it was purchased by the Gehrings for $11000.00 in 1973. It underwent a lengthy, labour intensive restoration by Don Gehring himself. With restoration complete, a sympathetic addition was built and the structure was opened as the Billy Miner Pub in May 1981, lovingly owned, named and operated by Don and Bernice until 2002.
Resold and undergoing another transformation in 2009, restored the Old Billy Miner Pub into the Billy Miner Alehouse. With an emphasis on reclaiming a Neighbourhood that steeps in history the building was Deemed and Protected under the Heritage Act of British Columbia in 2011.
The Billy Miner Ale House is located across the from the Canadian Pacific Railway Mainline in Port Haney, Maple Ridge, BC Canada. Only a few miles west (down the tracks) of Silverdale.
Did you happen to spot the shopping cart? :)

Is this a nice piece usage? Can you name all the used parts ?
As I wanted to build the bench for my MOC I didn't know how I can build it with the limited reddish brown bricks I had. After a certain time of thinking I looked at the book pieces and think about how I can build a bench with them et voila, here it is.
Do you like this bench?

The telephone exchange building of 1952. I love the masonry title on the building. Far nicer than a screen printed metal sign with peeling paint.
My MOС on the subject of the Wild West. One of my favorites. I tried to make the stagecoach as similar to the original as possible.
Fort Lauderdale is a city in the U.S. state of Florida, 25 miles (40 km) north of Miami. It is the county seat of Broward County. As of the 2019 census, the city has an estimated population of 182,437. Fort Lauderdale is a principal city of the Miami metropolitan area, which was home to an estimated 6,198,782 people in 2018.
The city is a popular tourist destination, with an average year-round temperature of 75.5 °F (24.2 °C) and 3,000 hours of sunshine per year. Greater Fort Lauderdale which takes in all of Broward County hosted 12 million visitors in 2012, including 2.8 million international visitors. The city and county in 2012 collected $43.9 million from the 5% hotel tax it charges, after hotels in the area recorded an occupancy rate for the year of 72.7 percent and an average daily rate of $114.48. The district has 561 hotels and motels comprising nearly 35,000 rooms. Forty six cruise ships sailed from Port Everglades in 2012. Greater Fort Lauderdale has over 4,000 restaurants, 63 golf courses, 12 shopping malls, 16 museums, 132 nightclubs, 278 parkland campsites, and 100 marinas housing 45,000 resident yachts.
Fort Lauderdale is named after a series of forts built by the United States during the Second Seminole War. The forts took their name from Major William Lauderdale (1782–1838), younger brother of Lieutenant Colonel James Lauderdale. William Lauderdale was the commander of the detachment of soldiers who built the first fort. However, development of the city did not begin until 50 years after the forts were abandoned at the end of the conflict. Three forts named "Fort Lauderdale" were constructed; the first was at the fork of the New River, the second at Tarpon Bend on the New River between the Colee Hammock and Rio Vista neighborhoods, and the third near the site of the Bahia Mar Marina.
The area in which the city of Fort Lauderdale would later be founded was inhabited for more than two thousand years by the Tequesta Indians. Contact with Spanish explorers in the 16th century proved disastrous for the Tequesta, as the Europeans unwittingly brought with them diseases, such as smallpox, to which the native populations possessed no resistance. For the Tequesta, disease, coupled with continuing conflict with their Calusa neighbors, contributed greatly to their decline over the next two centuries. By 1763, there were only a few Tequesta left in Florida, and most of them were evacuated to Cuba when the Spanish ceded Florida to the British in 1763, under the terms of the Treaty of Paris (1763), which ended the Seven Years' War. Although control of the area changed between Spain, the United Kingdom, the United States, and the Confederate States of America, it remained largely undeveloped until the 20th century.
The Fort Lauderdale area was known as the "New River Settlement" before the 20th century. In the 1830s there were approximately 70 settlers living along the New River. William Cooley, the local Justice of the Peace, was a farmer and wrecker, who traded with the Seminole Indians. On January 6, 1836, while Cooley was leading an attempt to salvage a wrecked ship, a band of Seminoles attacked his farm, killing his wife and children, and the children's tutor. The other farms in the settlement were not attacked, but all the white residents in the area abandoned the settlement, fleeing first to the Cape Florida Lighthouse on Key Biscayne, and then to Key West.
The first United States stockade named Fort Lauderdale was built in 1838, and subsequently was a site of fighting during the Second Seminole War. The fort was abandoned in 1842, after the end of the war, and the area remained virtually unpopulated until the 1890s. It was not until Frank Stranahan arrived in the area in 1893 to operate a ferry across the New River, and the Florida East Coast Railroad's completion of a route through the area in 1896, that any organized development began. The city was incorporated in 1911, and in 1915 was designated the county seat of newly formed Broward County.
Fort Lauderdale's first major development began in the 1920s, during the Florida land boom of the 1920s. The 1926 Miami Hurricane and the Great Depression of the 1930s caused a great deal of economic dislocation. In July 1935, an African-American man named Rubin Stacy was accused of robbing a white woman at knife point. He was arrested and being transported to a Miami jail when police were run off the road by a mob. A group of 100 white men proceeded to hang Stacy from a tree near the scene of his alleged robbery. His body was riddled with some twenty bullets. The murder was subsequently used by the press in Nazi Germany to discredit US critiques of its own persecution of Jews, Communists, and Catholics.
When World War II began, Fort Lauderdale became a major US base, with a Naval Air Station to train pilots, radar operators, and fire control, operators. A Coast Guard base at Port Everglades was also established.
On July 4, 1961, African Americans started a series of protests, wade-ins, at beaches that were off-limits to them, to protest "the failure of the county to build a road to the Negro beach". On July 11, 1962, a verdict by Ted Cabot went against the city's policy of racial segregation of public beaches.
Today, Fort Lauderdale is a major yachting center, one of the nation's largest tourist destinations, and the center of a metropolitan division with 1.8 million people.

♫ Silverado 05. The McKendrick Attack ♫
🌵Sitting in the shade of a rocky wall, Millie leaned over her saddle horn watching for the signal from her partner, Ella Dunn. Millie's heart pounded in her chest as she took a quick glance at her pocket watch and then slipped the timepiece back into her vest. She reached to stroke her horse's neck, talking to him softly. "Easy there, easy. Ready to go huh? Me too boy. But don't you worry, if things go as planned, we should get a wave from ol’ Ella there in just a minute."
It was just then, from atop a giant bolder, Ella Dun gave her the signal she'd be waiting for “See there son? What'd I tell ya? Right on time."
Millie quickly pulled her bandana up to cover her face then reached for her rifle. She cocked the Winchester and looked down the trail that led through the rocks. It was hot and dry this time of year and she could just barely see a cloud of dust forming beyond the boulders. "Here we go boy," she said to her pony just as the sounds of horse's hooves and the stage coach's wood-spoked wheels grinding into the Arizona dirt got closer.
Gently, she pulled the reins, backing the chestnut up a bit and it was then she heard Ellie's colts fire, and what sounded like a scatter gun blast just beyond the rocks. Shocked, as this was not part of the plan, Millie pulled up her reins turning her horse's head and nugged him into an easy lope. Confused, she wasn't quite sure if Ella was in trouble or not.
Suddenly the stagecoach's lead horses appeared in front of her! Millie kicked her horse up into a full gallop, quickly gaining ground alongside the team when she heard a deafening loud boom close to her ear. The blast nearly blew her hat off and her face was instantly scorched. She hissed out, reaching to knock a piece of fiery hot lead from her neck. Promptly rotating her hips, she looked back and aimed her rifle toward the coach as her horse continued to sprint alongside the others.
Millie could barely see the driver or the other man through the haze of dust but fired a warning shot just as the man with the shotgun turned to fire back at Ella. The resounding blast of Ella's six shooters echoed off the rocks when she heard her friend return fire. But it was obvious Ella was eating dirt from her position and as the man riding shotgun had the high ground, they'd have to shoot him or take a chance.
Ella's screams could faintly be heard from inside the dust bowl that formed around her and the stagecoach, and there wasn't time to consider it. It was then, Millie barely saw the man with the shotgun turn back to reload both barrels. Quickly she thrust out her arm holding fast to the lever of her Winchester. With the bullet chambered, Millie let go of her reins, turned, and pulled the trigger. This time it wasn't a warning and the bullet instantly found it's mark.
The man slumped down in the stagecoach's old rickety driver's seat like a sack of flour as Ella appeared out of the haze. Riding hard along the opposite side of the stagecoach’s horses, Millie could see Ella's left arm dangling by her side, the sleeve coated with blood. Reaching to grab her own horses reins, she kicked at gelding's sides to hurry the chestnut up to meet her pal.
Earlier they'd cut trees and dragged them up, blocking the narrow path out of the rocks, and this was where they'd originally planned to hold up the Black Rock Canyon Stage. While they'd worked on the project that morning, Millie had teased her friend about the less-than-original idea.
Now as she turned her horse to meet the oncoming stage, the huge logs behind them, she shook her head. Millie wished like hell they'd just stayed here in the first place, hold up like any dumbass bandit would have done. But it was too late now so with the butt of her rifle in her shoulder, she squinted in the dust as the stage barreled toward them both.
Through the corner of her eye, she could see her friend sweating profusely; panting as she aimed the nickel-plated colt and called out. "You best stop right there, you son of a bitch!" To which Millie, with her sights aimed at the driver’s head whispered to herself. "And here we go."
🌸These are always a lot of fun to work on. This was Harper Blackwood's creation and set. She did so much work and I want to thank her for allowing me to do this with her. Thank you Harper!♥
This is written from my character Millie Keller's perspective. You can read and view the robbery from Ella Dunn's point of veiw, played by Harper here It's a nicer shot and a great read.
And I want to thank or would love to thank Andrew Harlan for helping us with this pic. The reason I said I wish I could thank him is because I found out only this evening that Andrew is no longer with us.
I didn't know him well. I met him the day we shot this capture. He was such a gentleman and so fun to talk to. I can tell you this. I've been around SL a long time and I could tell Andrew was a decent man from the minute we started chatting. What a sweet spirit he had and what a wonderful artist he was. You'll always be missed Andrew.♥

and many thanks to @Tuxedo Greedo and -Balbo- for some useful advices and tips.
Found on the Valley Bank in Kalispell, Montana. There were a few others of these about but this was the best.
The young man looks up at his new friend before motioning to the bank absently commenting "Ready? We've been planning for weeks now."
The larger man nods, rolling his eyes as he talks "Yea, yea, I know, I know. Don't shoot anyone unless I have to."
Satisfied, the younger man nods and they head to the pizza place nearby to wait.
Shortly before opening, a redhead waits outside the bank. The larger man absently comments "She's cute."
"Focus!" The other one snaps, tossing him some rope. "Deal with her and I'll take care of the manager."
