Rocket Ship to the moon
As a very young boy (1950's) I remember seeing this rocket ship at Disney Land. It started my love for reading science fiction, the space program, and learning to fly. I don't think people really gave it much thought at the time, but it certainly left it's mark on me.
I wonder...whatever happen to that space ship??
Photo taken by grandparents with a simple 35mm camera probably in the early 1950's.
The future is full of hope. I hope God does great things through me. For his Glory. :)
I bet it will be flowing with color with many ideas, movement, change, full of his infinite love.

Sorry for all the boring pics of late... it's been raining everyday here. Hopefully some sunny weather is around the corner?
...Rosie was my VERY first *Blythe Love*! She is the one who made me want all the rest! Even before Goldie, I fell in love with Rosie!
***However, she is not the one that I got first...just loved her first! :D
I'm OK, thanks for everyone who sent messages and hugs to me!!!
My work consuming all my time for a while, and at evening I have to be with my hubby and children.

The time isn't too far off, the experts say, when you'll wash your dishes without soap or water - ultrasonic waves will do the job. Your beds will be made at the touch of a button. The kids' homework will be made interesting when they are able to dial a library book, lecture or a classroom demonstration right into your home - with sound. (Some of this is happening already)

Timbuck3 - The Future's So Bright
My folks are in town visiting and we were sitting around talking and I was wondering what to do for my shot for today. I noticed the lamp in the corner of the room and this is what I ended up with...heh.
Happy Saturday!
Peter's college, so we have a great interest in the progress of the building works, but it was the first time, yesterday, that either of us has seen it. Sadly there is not a lot to see yet....
we have no printer so we can't print the good panda and join the contest!
No worry, Nele I think we solved the problem already :D

“Human progress is neither automatic nor inevitable. We are faced now with the fact that tomorrow is today. We are confronted with the fierce urgency of now. In this unfolding conundrum of life and history there is such a thing as being too late…We may cry out desperately for time to pause in her passage, but time is deaf to every plea and rushes on. Over the bleached bones and jumbled residues of numerous civilizations are written the pathetic words: Too late.”
Martin Luther King Jr. ‘Where do we go from here: chaos or community’
“Delivered in a sermon on social justice four decades ago, Martin Luther King’s words retain a powerful resonance. At the start of the 21st Century, we too are confronted with the “fierce urgency” of a crisis that links today and tomorrow. That crisis is climate change. It is still a preventable crisis—but only just. The world has less than a decade to change course.”

Time's up.
For We’re Here! , and our host of the day: The Future.
And for the TMI challenge, Circles & Ovals.
I'm stood by the A149 on a Sunday afternoon as trucks and cars thunder by at 50mph and it's hard to imagine I'm stood in the place as Roger Joanes was back in January, 1959.
As I'm stood on a grassy verge in the future, a signalman from the past offers up the line token to the driver of 43159 on its way to Great Yarmouth.
There's nothing left to remind us that this was a railway station, apart from a road clinging onto its station name and a couple of lonely M&GN farm gates a bit further up the road.
Thanks goes out to Roger Joanes for allowing me to ghost his images taken on the final days of the M&GN.
A few long term rail contacts on Flickr will know that for many years my dad has been looking for an image of this signal box. It was the first place he worked and no matter where he looked or who I spoke with we couldn't find a photo of the box. Everything changed this week. Not just one picture but two came to light. This one was purchased by dad and shows the box and an unknown entourage at some point prior to the Great War.
The box was built by the Great Northern Railway in 1893 and closed by British Railways in 1970. I will let dad supply a few additional notes.
Signalmen were: Clifford Dickinson, Arthur Burton and Bill Humphreys, working three shifts in turn, 6.0 am to 2.0 pm, 2.0 pm to 10.0 pm and 10.0 pm to 6.0 am, days, afternoons and nights, Monday to Saturday, starting a new shift every Monday. The branch line to Castleford and Methley did not operate on Sunday. Train register lads: John Firth and Keith Matthews, working days and afternoon shift alternate weeks.
The box controlled the up and down main and goods lines to and from London to Leeds, the branch line to and from Methley, the East and West line to Robin Hood, the Lofthouse colliery sidings lines and the goods yard at Outwood. Quite busy at times.
I have a recollection of a then, circa 1954, experimental diesel unit testing on the Methley to Leeds line, it deliberately stopped on the steepest part of the 1 in 49 uphill gradient near the junction with the main line, then set off again with no problems. Steam engines often needed a ‘banker’ engine at the rear to assist them up the incline. My signalman friend remarked, “Well John that’s thefuture, we won’t need steam engines when these take over”.
Train register lads duties were: recording, the exact time of all bell contacts relating to the passage of each train in the registers, (eight entries per train). There were different bell codes for each type of train, a light engine was 2-3 rings, an express passenger train 4 bells, etc. Other duties were receiving and transmitting Morse code telegraph messages, telephoning Leeds Central Control with times of VIP trains, etc. Non clerical duties included keeping the box clean and levers polished, washing the many windows, emptying the chemical toilet and burying it behind the box. Plus the unofficial task of operating the box whilst the signalman had his breakfast or tea. Happy days.
