Thirty grams (1.06 oz.) of roasted, unsalted peanuts.
The package label specifies one serving in customary terms as ¼ cup by volume. Armed with a digital kitchen scale, I decided to use the metric equivalent based on weight, explaining the not-quite-full ¼-cup measuring scoop.

The Bozeman Local switches the R-Y Timber company's mill on the south side of Livingston MT on June 16, 2022. The customer is accessed via the Park City Branch from the yard in Livingston. The branch once led to Yellowstone National Park and hosted passenger trains to and from the park. Public highways and the private automobile put a stop to that decades ago. The branch is now nothing more than a mile and a half long if that. The remainder is a hiking/biking trail.

The area that was to become West Palm Beach was settled in the late 1870s and 1880s by a few hundred settlers who called the vicinity "Lake Worth Country." These settlers were a diverse community from different parts of the United States and the world. They included founding families such at the Potters and the Lainharts, who would go on to become leading members of the business community in the fledgling city. The first white settlers in Palm Beach County lived around Lake Worth, then an enclosed freshwater lake, named for Colonel William Jenkins Worth, who had fought in the Second Seminole War in Florida in 1842. Most settlers engaged in the growing of tropical fruits and vegetables for shipment the north via Lake Worth and the Indian River. By 1890, the U.S. Census counted over 200 people settled along Lake Worth in the vicinity of what would become West Palm Beach. The area at this time also boasted a hotel, the "Cocoanut House", a church, and a post office. The city was platted by Henry Flagler as a community to house the servants working in the two grand hotels on the neighboring island of Palm Beach, across Lake Worth in 1893, coinciding with the arrival of the Florida East Coast railroad. Flagler paid two area settlers, Captain Porter and Louie Hillhouse, a combined sum of $45,000 for the original town site, stretching from Clear Lake to Lake Worth.
On November 5, 1894, 78 people met at the "Calaboose" (the first jail and police station located at Clematis St. and Poinsettia, now Dixie Hwy.) and passed the motion to incorporate the Town of West Palm Beach in what was then Dade County (now Miami-Dade County). This made West Palm Beach the first incorporated municipality in Dade County and in South Florida. The town council quickly addressed the building codes and the tents and shanties were replaced by brick, brick veneer, and stone buildings. The city grew steadily during the 1890s and the first two decades of the 20th century, most residents were engaged in the tourist industry and related services or winter vegetable market and tropical fruit trade. In 1909, Palm Beach County was formed by the Florida State Legislature and West Palm Beach became the county seat. In 1916, a new neo-classical courthouse was opened, which has been painstakingly restored back to its original condition, and is now used as the local history museum.
The city grew rapidly in the 1920s as part of the Florida land boom. The population of West Palm Beach quadrupled from 1920 to 1927, and all kinds of businesses and public services grew along with it. Many of the city's landmark structures and preserved neighborhoods were constructed during this period. Originally, Flagler intended for his Florida East Coast Railway to have its terminus in West Palm, but after the area experienced a deep freeze, he chose to extend the railroad to Miami instead.
The land boom was already faltering when city was devastated by the 1928 Okeechobee hurricane. The Depression years of the 1930s were a quiet time for the area, which saw slight population growth and property values lower than during the 1920s. The city only recovered with the onset of World War II, which saw the construction of Palm Beach Air Force Base, which brought thousands of military personnel to the city. The base was vital to the allied war effort, as it provided an excellent training facility and had unparalleled access to North Africa for a North American city. Also during World War II, German U-Boats sank dozens of merchant ships and oil tankers just off the coast of West Palm Beach. Nearby Palm Beach was under black out conditions to minimize night visibility to German U-boats.
The 1950s saw another boom in population, partly due to the return of many soldiers and airmen who had served in the vicinity during the war. Also, the advent of air conditioning encouraged growth, as year-round living in a tropical climate became more acceptable to northerners. West Palm Beach became the one of the nation's fastest growing metropolitan areas during the 1950s; the city's borders spread west of Military Trail and south to Lake Clarke Shores. However, many of the city's residents still lived within a narrow six-block wide strip from the south to north end. The neighborhoods were strictly segregated between White and African-American populations, a legacy that the city still struggles with today. The primary shopping district remained downtown, centered around Clematis Street.
In the 1960s, Palm Beach County's first enclosed shopping mall, the Palm Beach Mall, and an indoor arena were completed. These projects led to a brief revival for the city, but in the 1970s and 1980s crime continued to be a serious issue and suburban sprawl continued to drain resources and business away from the old downtown area. By the early 1990s there were very high vacancy rates downtown, and serious levels of urban blight.
Since the 1990s, developments such as CityPlace and the preservation and renovation of 1920s architecture in the nightlife hub of Clematis Street have seen a downtown resurgence in the entertainment and shopping district. The city has also placed emphasis on neighborhood development and revitalization, in historic districts such as Northwood, Flamingo Park, and El Cid. Some neighborhoods still struggle with blight and crime, as well as lowered property values caused by the Great Recession, which hit the region particularly hard. Since the recovery, multiple new developments have been completed. The Palm Beach Mall, located at the Interstate 95/Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard interchange became abandoned as downtown revitalized - the very mall that initiated the original abandonment of the downtown. The mall was then redeveloped into the Palm Beach Fashion Outlets in February 2014. A station for All Aboard Florida, a high-speed passenger rail service serving Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, and Orlando, is under construction as of July 2015.

Elo my darlings! I'm getting back into my little RP inspired posts. Foxes has a great release for the Gacha Garden, so of course I got my hands on it. Then EMPIRE came right along with the perfect gold shoes for an awsome group gift! I had fun with this look and sharpening my swords. lol I hope you all enjoy it. xoxo

Mursi mother with ornamental clay lip-plate, wild boar's tusk, facial chalk markings, and decorated goat-skin clothing - pastoral settlement in southern Ethiopia's lower Omo Valley.
On the meaning of lip-plates in Mursi culture and society
The Mursi are one of the last groups in Africa where women still wear large wooden or clay plates in their lower lips. Most Mursi women wear lip-plates as an aesthetic symbol of cultural pride and identity, signifying passage to womanhood/adulthood. They are more frequently worn by unmarried or newly wed women and are generally worn when serving men food or during important ritual events (weddings, men's duelling competitions, communal dances, safari photo-ops).
Debunking popular myths
Contrary to popular opinion among travellers and other passing strangers, ethnographers found little or no connection between the size of a woman’s lip-plate and the size of her bridewealth (cattle, guns).
Anthropologists and ethnographers have debunked another popular myth surrounding the lip-plate in this region. They found no evidence that the labret originated as a deliberate attempt to disfigure and make women less attractive to slave traders, yet this myth seems to surface regularly in accounts by professional and amateur photographers, tourists, and bloggers alike.
The Mursi and Mursiland
The Mursi are semi-nomadic farmers and herders who depend on shifting hoe-cultivation (mostly drought-resistant varieties of sorghum) and cattle herding for their livelihood. They number less than ten thousand today.
Most Mursi live in small settlements dispersed across Mursiland, a remote territory of about thirty by eighty kilometres between the Omo and Mago Rivers in southwestern Ethiopia, near the border with South Sudan and northern Kenya.
The terrain varies from a volcanic plain dominated by a range of hills and a major watershed to a riverine forest, wooded grasslands and thorny bushland thickets. The climate is harsh and unstable with low rainfall and daily temperatures regularly exceeding 40°C in the shade during the dry season.

This place is a palace inside. Ornately decorated and serving lots of proper local real ales. We ate here and the food was good too.
Bright lights at night are very challenging to photograph. This was taken at EV -1.67. Hand held, leaning on the wall to keep me steady.
So..we had a fantastic time in Edinburgh. The weather was awesome for March and we felt very fortunate to be in such a welcoming city.

I sat on the rocks, as far out as I could come, for 1,5 hours today - watching these common terns communicate, rest and feed each other several times. They didn't seem to care about me at all.
I also got several fun photos of seagulls stealing each other's favourite rocks and biting each other, and a couple of common eiders searching for food and eating a starfish. I love being able to do this in my immediate area whenever I want to.

I was recently talking with a friend and fellow Flickr member who has similar taste in old school industrial spurs served by obscure locals. He piqued my interest in looking for a few more shots to post of the three times I photographed a train serving (or at least attempting) this industry. I've recently posted photos of the first two times I saw them here, the second of which was successful. This was the third and final time I saw a train on these rails....
In early 2018 Pan Am railways attempted to serve a long dormant customer located in Somerville, MA adjacent the skeletal remains of what was once the massive Boston & Maine Railroad yard and shop complex in their namesake city. Now what remains is 99.9% the domain of passenger trains and B&M successor PAR bases only one lonely switch engine in the city. I was very fortunate to catch a few of these very rare moves on this obscure bit of trackage. Here we see Pan Local BO-1 which failed again on an attempt to spot two loads which promptly derailed here on this curve in the mud leading to the warehouse. GP40 345 (which stayed on the rails ultimately cut away and left for other chores and these derailed cars would sit for over a month, never actually getting spotted, despite being 150 ft from the dock. Eventually they would be rerailed, pulled out, and shipped away somewhere ending Boston Paperboard's experiment of returning to rail service. So this image is the second to last train on the rails as I wasn't able to document the final move when the cars were pulled. There hasn't been another since...
To learn more about this Last Freight Train in Boston check out my article in the May 2019 issue of Railfan & Railroad magazine. Back issues are still available here: shop.whiteriverproductions.com/products/rfr-201905
With a derailment rate of 67% (based on my unscientific sample of three!) it's no surprise this experiment failed. Fast forward four years and Pan Am is now the property of CSXT which is aggressively investing in upgrading the property. While rumors have swirled that the new owners may make another effort to bring back service here there hasn't been any work undertaken yet to indicate there is truth. And frankly it seems a bit like wishful thinking, and I'm not even sure how or why this customer still exists given the massive redevelopment under way in the area that continues to turn former industrial and rail properties into residential mixed use.

Serving the local coloured community, The People’s Choice Superette stands on the street that divides the historically white from the coloured part of town. Given the history and the context, there seems to be something unintentionally ironic in the name.
Established in 1861, the small Karoo village of McGregor was originally called Lady Grey. It was renamed in 1905 in honour of the Rev. Andrew McGregor, who for forty years had served as the Dutch Reformed Minister for the area.
The once-sleepy village has become something of a refuge in recent years for those seeking respite from the big city blues, in search of quieter, slower, more creative or adventurous lifestyles. For visitors and weekenders, too, McGregor offers the perfect Karoo getaway, within easy driving distance from Cape Town, yet a world away. Still, the old persists with the new, and the influx of new money can’t wholly hide the inequalities that lurk on the outskirts.
Taken over a ten-year period, between 2012 and 2022, this series of photographs is from a project on South African country villages and towns. Many of the images are of small Karoo towns, and many of these in turn are of the Dutch Reformed Churches whose steeples are visible for miles around in the vast, semi-desert region that lies, metaphorically and geographically, at South Africa’s centre.
There is something about these Karoo towns, in particular, that has always spoken to me - the stillness of the empty streets in the heat of the day, the white, shuttered cottages, the big skies overhead. And always, at the edge of town, or sprawling out into the arid land, the coloured settlement or African location. In South Africa, as elsewhere, as Faulkner wrote, ‘The past is never dead. It’s not even past.’
