CSX ES40DC 5356 heads south past the Eugene Depot toward the Cascades to "Save a train" up on the hill. Assume a power failure of some kind needed a little more shoving to make it over the summit.
My son saves all the odd money with different patterns on it so today had me take macro shots of every one
i like this one
things we do for kids hey !!!!
When I began to understand the sequence of events 13000 years ago I thought what would we do today to prevent the disaster from happening?
As it turns out not much. There is a little graph near the bottom that says no technology available for these impactors.
The initial comet that broke up was probably as big as Hale-Bopp was back in the 90s. A hundred miles in diameter.
We can't push, pull or blow up anything bigger than about a mile or so. All of these mitigation techniques require some fair amount of warning, say 6 months or so. We would be screwed depending on how much time we had to prepare.
I am sure we would figure out something.
The people of 13000 years ago probably had plenty of exciting near misses before their luck ran out.
Edit - I have been thinking about this and may have come up with a solution. It would still require some advance warning but it could perhaps deal with larger impactors.
I call it "Centripedal Sling". The idea is you would find an asteroid and spin it up so the plane of rotation would intersect with the trajectory of the incoming comet or asteroid. Meanwhile you have a large bag attached by a tether and fill it up with rocky debris from the asteroid. They will be whirling around like mad. At the proper moment you cut the tether and the two bodies will go in different directions at high speed. Timing would be everything here.
Strand colleagues Louisa Coggins and Steph Brocklehurst helped to resuscitate baby Mia at the lido in 2018.

Our plan was to tow the boats separate, so Sunday morning the Rockaway went out first. We got a little ways, quickly obvious we were gonna have problems with the johnboat towing us, so the coast guard stepped in. They attached a tow line and one coast guard member rode with us. Just past the bridge the hecticness began, water started coming over the bow of the ship, fast. A wave swept a bunch of things overboard, shoes, amps and most of the contents of Ellery Neon’s cubby. As this happened on the bow of the ship, in the stern the rockaway’s motors were being started again. Just while the ship’s starboard side motor, Mortimer, was being revved an amp and a pair of heels floated into the propeller, somehow lodging in it, and causing the drive shaft to bend wildly and rip itself off the swing arm in under one second. The cold-rolled steel shaft looked like a noodle.
To the bow again, Santiago is in the skiff as another wave floods in it, pushing it under. As its sinking he jumps off and we cut it free. Bob one of our tows, had tied to the other side of our bow, and his propeller had gotten totally jammed with items swept overboard. He decided to use anchors to get to shore.
We almost drift into a bridge pylon, and at least a few members think their death is at hand.
We decided to get to shore too, cause if things keep going wrong at the rate they have been we’ll be in splinters in twenty minutes!
We dock on an unmanned barge and the Coast Guard pull the skiff out and bring it back to the Rockaway. The motor has been underwater for ten minutes and its still running, good sign.
Bob’s got his prop untangled and drives to our ship. The coast guard says they’ll tow us back to where we left from this morning, but first their going to refuel.
We all breathe deep and are ecstatic that no one even got hurt.
All shaken up and joyous we dance on the piles of coal on the barge.
When the coast guard gets back we were all surprised to hear their enthusiasm.
Lets try it again!
The bow line had been tied over the the raking, pushing the bow down, it should have been tied under. Plus the skiff and johnboat on the sides created drag, and we can move all the stuff on the Rockaway to the back of each raft. scary to run back into the same situation you barely made it out of, but our last chance to get to that secret video game level heaven, Cementland. Lets do it.
We pull off the barge smoothly and cross into the confluence smoothly, and things just… keep going smoothly…( I was sweating bullets for the first hour, but after that just excited.) It took two hours to go four miles, but…we…got…to…CEMENTLAND!!!

Then I continue to chain piece alternating the two opposite borders - now of course I have to clip the thread.
'Life-saving amputation' is a legitimate surgical term, but a friend once invented its extreme version: 'life-saving decapitation'. This is what they seem to do to trees in early spring, an ugly operation (for a while) to provide for new life just weeks later. This scene looked truly surreal and form a different planet...
In Hindu mythology Lord Ganesha (also known as Ganapathi or Vinayaka) is notorious for his food habit. One day he ate so much of food that his tummy almost busted. He just caught a snake and tied it around his tummy as a belt to save his tummy from bursting.
On this statue you can see the snake carved around his tummy. Also he holds the goad, pasha (noose), and his broken tusk. The hand which holds modak (a kind of sweet ball) is broken and not reconstructed. This monolithic statue carved out of a huge boulder measures about 2.4 meters (8 feet). An open pavilion is build around the statue. According to inscriptions found nearby this pavilion was built by a trader from Chandragiri (in present day Andhra Pradesh)in 1506 AD, in memory of one of the Vijayanagara king – Narasimha II (1491-1505 AD)
This is located on the southern foothill of the Hemakuta Hill.
