This pineapple is in my fridge, fresh pineapple is very yummy, especially on a hot day, which is why this one has been in my fridge for a week, waiting for a hot day.
Did you know that each pineapple segment is, in fact, a separate fruit?

Meradia is one of the most densely populated localities of Dhaka city. A huge number of people live in this relatively small segment of Dhaka. This little kid lives here. He doesn't go to school even though no tuition fee is required. He doesn't have a shirt to wear, but it's alright. Who would need a shirt when it makes you sweat in the scorching heat?
He has got nothing compared to the wealthy kids from the wealthy countries. Still, when he sees a camera, He poses better than a skinny Supermodel with a slight hint of pride in the face. That is something money can't buy.
After having a really fun time with my Suicide Squad 2 post, I thought I'd start making this a thing, so here's my new segment called "What I Want to See In..." where I'll give my thoughts on movies that are far enough away that I can think of my own story details and stuff like that!
So since Warner Brothers announced today that Man of Steel 2 is actively in development, I thought I'd give some of my ideas to what I'd like to see in the sequel of one of my favorite films of all time!
Now the first thing I'd like to talk about is the tone. Now the source that broke this story said, "Superman is a top priority for the studio and getting the character right for audiences is of tantamount importance." After looking over this quote, it's clear that DC wants to give us the lighter Superman that the fans want, which I believe to be totally appropriate. This now leads to what the title should be.
I believe the title of the movie should be Superman: Rebirth, I mean, it's so perfect! It makes sense with the sort of rebirth starting with Wonder Woman in the DCEU now with Geoff Johns in charge. Plus it works with the rebirth of Superman himself in Justice League. Superman's rebirth in Justice League is a perfect explanation/excuse for him being a more classic Superman in the future.
Next I'd like to talk about the villains, the villains I'd like to see are either Brainiac, Metallo, or Bizarro. Now the more I think about it, the less I'd like to see Bizarro because we kinda got something similar to him with Doomsday in BvS. But as for Brainiac, I think it would be great to have another Kryptonian-related villain because those were some of the best parts in MOS for me. They could somehow tie in that Brainiac was one of those robots on Krypton that malfunctioned or something like that. I don't have much to say about Metallo, but he's always interested me, he could be constructed by Lex Luthor, which leads me to my next point.
I do believe that Jesse Eisenberg should return as Lex Luthor in Man of Steel 2. I know that most people didn't like him in BvS (that's an understatement), but I feel like there's promise for him, maybe he could have a rebirth like Superman!
Anyways, those are my thoughts on what should happen in Man of Steel 2, leave your ideas in the comments below and leave suggestions on what other future movies I should do posts like this about!

Day 1
Monarch Pass (Collegiate West 05) to Marshall Pass Road (Segment 15)
No rain yet ... but it frosted again.
Started off a bit chilly but got packed up and waited for shuttle at Spring Creek Pass trailhead. The Sportsman from Lake City was the shuttle. They arrived shortly after 8 with kids in tow. We stopped at the Outfitter to pay and then at General Store for some coffee. Never skip an opportunity for coffee! It took about 2 hours to drive to Monarch Pass.
Arrived at Monarch Pass around 1100. Monarch Crest Souvenier Shop has a hiker area with outlets for charging phones, etc. I took advantage of that and while waiting enjoyed some nachos. After a nice break, I started hiking.
The first 5 miles were on the Collegiate West Segment 05. I hiked this section last year and it was just as easy now. I took a few breaks at the same stops as last year. I'm not sure if this is technically above treeline but it is exposed. After the breakoff from CW05, Segment 15 does dip into the trees several times and passes a shelter near Green Creek Trailhead. The shelter is not very inviting as it does not have a sleeping platform (plenty of tenting opportunities though). The trail finally follows an old road down to Marshall Pass Rd.
I found a nice campsite up above the Marshall Pass Parking Area near the water source. Water may be an issue the next couple of days, so I'll have to carry extra. (Although I've already seen extra sources not listed.)
I didn't see any other backpackers but did see lots of bikers. Total miles for the day was 10.4. It was a good day especially when the sun shines.
The first six of 18 segments that will form NASA's James Webb Space Telescope’s primary mirror for space observations completed final cryogenic testing this week. The ten week test series included two tests cycles where the mirrors were chilled down to -379 degrees Fahrenheit, then back to ambient temperature to ensure the mirrors respond as expected to the extreme temperatures of space.
A second set of six mirror assemblies will arrive at Marshall in late July to begin testing, and the final set of six will arrive in the fall.
The X-ray and Cryogenic Facility at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala. provides the space-like environment to help engineers measure how well the telescope will image infrared sources once in orbit.
Each mirror segment measures approximately 4.3 feet (1.3 meters) in diameter to form the 21.3 foot (6.5 meters), hexagonal telescope mirror assembly critical for infrared observations. Each of the 18 hexagonal-shaped mirror assemblies weighs approximately 88 pounds (40 kilograms). The mirrors are made of a light and strong metal called beryllium, and coated with a microscopically thin coat of gold to enabling the mirror to efficiently collect infrared light.
The telescope is a combined project of NASA, the European Space Agency and the Canadian Space Agency. Northrop Grumman is the prime contractor under NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp. in Boulder, Colo., is responsible for mirror development. L-3- Tinsley Laboratories Inc. in Richmond, Calif. is responsible for mirror grinding and polishing.

This remnant example of a segment of the flumes used to shoot the railroad ties harvested from the surrounding forest down to the Wind River for transport has a nice view of the Wind River and beyond. It's located adjacent to the Tie Hack Memorial:
A few miles east of Dubois, Wyoming, we stopped to take a look at this interesting roadside memorial overlooking the Wind River.
In spite of the informative signage on the monument and at the pullout along the highway below, no where is the carver named, Boris Gilbertson (1907–1982). Gilbertson was a noted sculptor who produced many works used in public spaces such as government buildings and this location.
From the plaque on the monument:
Erected to perpetuate the memory of the hardy woods and river men who made and delivered the cross ties for the building and maintenance of the Chicago and North Western Railway in this western country.
Wyoming Tie & Timer Company
1946
From roadside signage:
Railroads and the West
Tie Hack Memorial
Hacked and Stacked
Ties were made from trees hacked and cut by hand…hence the name “tie hack.” Tie hacks were a special breed of loggers who could quickly fell, limb a tree, and fashion the tie down to the specifications demanded.
A horse and wagon hauled the ties out. Cutting was done in the winter because it was easier to strip off the bark and drag the ties over the snow.
Floating to Riverton
In the early days, ties were delivered to the railroad by floating them down the Wind River on the annual “long walk to Riverton.”
This walk took place just after the Wind River peaked in spring runoff so the ties would move swiftly downstream, but it was dangerous and difficult.
Ties were released into the river current along with a driver who poled the ties down river. Poor timing and high water cold result in injuries, drownings, and an entire season of timber cutting being lost.
The Lost Art
The drives and tie hacks disappeared being replaced by gas powered sawmills, sawyers, cutters, and skidders that pulled the logs to a mill.
Railroads closed as the trucking industry flourished and gasoline was cheap. With no marked for railroad ties, the business died.
This memorial reminds us of the hard-working men and their families whose sweat and toil contributed to the first transcontinental railroad linking our country from coast to coast.

The Natural History Museum in London is a natural history museum that exhibits a vast range of specimens from various segments of natural history.
Six of the 18 Webb telescope mirrors are readied for shipment. All of the 18 mirror segments will be cryogenically tested twice in the Marshall Center's X-ray & Cryogenic Facility -- once with bare polished beryllium and then again after a thin coating of gold is applied to gain optimal reflectance in the infrared.

I recall this being the caption in a Railway Magazine photo from the days when I started buying it.
Ormskirk was downgraded in 1970 with one line bisected by a pair of buffers where services from Liverpool and Preston would reverse.
The former were operated by the classic LMS 502 EMUs, fondly remembered from journeys into Liverpool Exchange on Mystexes from Edinburgh, but by the time I visited in 1982 these had just been replaced by the 507 seen here.
The "bypass" line had not seen any use for quite some time, and would later be removed.
........of Papermill Falls. If you happend to see the scriggles of ice on the stick in another picture of mind......here they are again! You just can see too many scriggles, don't cha know!>
Here is another striking fly (Diptera) that looks for all the world like a bee - compare my [Previous] two photos. This fly is a Syrphid Fly (Syrphidae, Diptera), possibly a Narcissus Bulb Fly (Merodon equestris) or kin in the same Eristalini tribe that includes many more bee-mimic flies in the genus Eristalis. It's furry like a bee and even has flattened leg segments like a bee. This one is less colorful than the fly in my [Previous] photo, and it may be that this one is female with eyes that are separated in front whereas the other one is male with eyes that meet in front - but compare this photo at BugGuide. I guess all we can say is that the flies are highly variable. It's my understanding that this fly has been introduced from Europe and is now widespread in North America. HFDF!

The predatory leech, Nephelopsis obscura occurs throughout much of Canada but is restricted to the upper Midwest and Rocky Mountain regions in the United States. In the last two decades this leech species has become an important fish bait in the upper Midwest. A few states are capitalizing on the economic returns from sales of this bait species. In Minnesota alone, annual leech sales have an estimated retail value of $1.5 million.
Nephelopsis is a member of a family of the free living, predatory and scavanging leeches. It is the species predominately sold in this country for fish bait. It occurs in ponds and sloughs throughout North Dakota and is an important component in pond ecology.
In 1979, bait leeches became legal for commercial export in Minnesota and legislation was passed opening state wildlife management areas larger than 2,000 acres to harvest by permit only. The demand for bait leeches by Minnesota anglers has intensified harvest of N. obscura, resulting in localized population declines and development of aquaculture techniques for commercial rearing.
Leech harvesters are able to remove as many as 4,000 leeches in a single trapping bout by baiting gunny sacks with fresh, bloody fish parts. - Wikipedia
