This is taken on the veranda of the Rocket Cafe Cromer. Scared of heights, forty foot drop but no camera shake ! Note robust fence! It was a beautiful bright day after two days of driving rain.
I grew up with cats. Even when I was a baby they were always around and I observed early on how different their personalities were. And that is why, when I found out that much of the food I was eating was animals, I realized I had to stop that. Going vegetarian at 13 always made sense to me, though I am not sure why I didn't start even sooner. Why would I eat a cow, a chicken, or a pig if I wouldn't eat a cat or a dog?
Rocket is very different from his brother, Ollie (who I posted a photo of last week) even though they share both nature/ genetics (they are brothers from the same litter) and nurture (adopted as kittens by my neighbors). Rocket is one of those cats that is an observer and needs additional time to warm up to you. Once he decides you are safe, he is loyal and affectionate but he lets Ollie be the charming life of the party right away.
Basically, Ollie is the cat who is instantly intoxicated and dancing on top of the countertops with a shrimp cocktail in his hand/paw while Janelle Monae blasts out of the speakers while Rocket prefers to listen to Tom Waits and think about life and his place in existence. You're going to dance with Ollie first and let him take you up to the rooftop to dip you below the moon but you're going to talk to Rocket at 3am about why is it we are all still here after Ollie has collapsed into an exhausted heap to dream about swimming with fishes and flying with seagulls (I think that's what cats dream about).

Coffee, the dog, watches the scene in astonishment :0)
The Real Deal...
Rocket was built to run on the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, the world’s first inter-city passenger railway line. In 1829, Rocket won the Rainhill Trials, which was a competition to decide on the best mode of transport for the railway.
Rocket was the only locomotive to successfully complete the trials, averaging 12 mph and achieving a top speed of 30 mph.
Designed by Robert Stephenson, Rocket’s win proved once and for all that locomotives were better at pulling trains along the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, rather than stationary winding engines.
The technology applied to the design of Rocket was soon extended across the entire railway network, paving the way for the modern rail network and shaping the course of the history.
This is a once-in-a lifetime opportunity to see an iconic symbol return to the site of the world’s oldest surviving passenger railway, the terminus of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway which is now home to the museum.

The Gallatin Rocket rips through a river curve with a neat set of clouds high above. Leading this train is the rarely shot MRL 250, THE MRL locomotive. On October 31st, 1987, on the eve of MRL ownership, "vandals" set a 3 unit consist up Bozeman Pass at full throttle, of which the BN #6377 was part. After reaching over 80 mph. the train finally buried itself into the earth at West End. Not originally part of the sale, the BN then sold the #6377 to the MRL where it was rebuilt as the #250. It would become, and remain, the only SD40-2 the MRL would own. 34 years later, still earning its keep.

Please, don't "award" my photo with copy and paste comments, gif's and other glittering self- or group-promoting stuff.
The early May air is comfortably warm in downtown Baraboo, as the Reedsburg bound freight (L463), rolls by the former Chicago and Northwestern depot with a pair of good looking WSOR SD's.

Here we go
Come with me
There's a world out there that we should see
Take my hand
Close your eyes
With you right here, I'm a rocketeer
Baby, we can stay fly like a G6
Shop the streets of Tokyo, get you fly kicks
Girl, you're always on my mind
Got my head up in the sky
And I'm never lookin' down, feelin' priceless, yeah
A common darter.
This is a very common dragonfly, breeding in waterways including ponds, ditches, rivers and lakes. As their name suggests, common darters dart forward suddenly from a hovering position to catch their insect prey. They then take their catch to a favoured perch to eat it.
Literally! the power of the March 20th rocket was a clean pair of YN2 four axle's, along with the usual two Dash 8's. Also, credit to my voice activated flash holder :-D

The Central Michigan RR Bay City to Durand, Michigan turn "the rocket" is seen arriving in Durand with former BNSF C30-7 5175 leading a couple more GE's - November 3, 2007.
This represents two childhood toys. The first, tiny toy cars that we collected and played with for endless hours. Then later we got a real on. Actually this same model and color. Both times they transported us to a different world.
The Rocket begins their maneuvers at Rock Springs with a pair of non-dynos. The pair went up with the intent of needing the horsepower to pull grain outta town, however, only three cars were billed out by the time they returned and that's all they grabbed before makin' tracks for Baraboo and ultimately Madison.
