Two Ponies
About the Photo:
The photo was taken with my Nikon d7000. Before the photo was processed with the A10 preset in VSCO Cam, it was tweaked in the Camera+ app.
Two High is a new font in Swooshable's font directory. Variants have been floating around a long time, but I think the original version can be attributed to William Howard.
You can write with this font using Swooshable's Font Tester. I appreciate any feedback, yay/nay and links, so please let me know if you have any thoughts.
Two old pears, dried up and forgotten, rest on a weathered table. Their wrinkled skin, once full of life, tells a story of transience.
Harvey made his suit and took up the name of Two-Face, and then went out seeking revenge. A few days ago, Sal Maroni had broken out of Blackgate after a freak storm. Word on the street was that he'd escaped looking for Dent, witch was ironic as Dent was looking for Maroni. Two-Face had questioned everyone he came across to see if they knew where Maroni was, but none did. Until Two-Face came across a hobo named Joe. He was an immigrant from Turkey, but he lost his home because he didn't have enough money to pay the rent. When Two-Face asked him if he knew the where abounce of Maroni, Joe told him that he was last seen in Crime Alley. Apparently he'd been smuggling drugs with some hobo's. The next deal was supposedly taking place that night. Harvey was so happy with the info that he hired Joe to be his right hand man. Joe gladly took up the offer, and was given the task to raid Sionis Industries to get some weapons. Wilst Joe was doing that, Two-Face went to find Maroni.
He hid behind a bin in Crime Alley, waiting for Sal to arrive. He was sat there for an hour and a half until Maroni finally appeared. To Harvey's suprise, he was still wearing his orange prison jumpsuit. The minuite he saw him, he attacked.
"DENT?!" He screeched
"Hello Maroni, how are you doing today?" Asked Dent
"I'm.....okay." He said, shaking.
"Well that's all about to change. Do you want to see my coin?"
As Two-Face said that, a shadow appeared over the alley. There was a hobo sat watching the sky over Crime alley, he had a bottle in his hand and a cigarette in the other. Until he saw the Batman.
"Wow, holy shit!" He Yelled as he ran away from the big, looming man.
"See, this coin is special." Continued Harvey. "If it lands on the good side, you're safe. If it lands on the bad side then, well, you're not. Do you get it?"
"I....I...I do."
Just as Maroni said that, Batman looked onto the alley. He perched himself on the edge of the wall, and got ready to jump.
"Time to flip." Said Two-Face.
He flipped the coin.
Batman swooped down onto the scene.
"AARGH!" Screeched Two-Face as Batman landed on his back. The minuite that happened, Sal ran. He got out of the alley just in time, as two seconds later, three police cars pulled up at both ends of the alley.
"DON'T MOVE!" Screamed the police officer.
Batman cuffed Two-Face, and then handed him over to the cops.
"Why do it Harvey?" He said in a deep voice.
He only said one word: "Revenge."
Once Harvey had been taken away, Batman consulted his radio link.
"Alfred, Dent's back." He said.
A voice replied from the radio.
"Oh, has he now? Has he taken up a new mantle?"
"Yes." Replied Batman.
"And what is it?" Asked the radio.
"Two-Face."
Two more days of radiation therapy.
Six weeks seemed like years at times. Doesn't seem long looking back though.
Will be at cabin at lake in another two days. And all will seem like a bad dream then.
Can taste the margarita already......

The Pohjola Insurance building is the former headquarters of the Pohjola Insurance Company at Aleksanterinkatu 44 and Mikonkatu 3 in central Helsinki. Primarily designed by Gesellius, Lindgren & Saarinen and constructed in 1899–1901, it is a prominent example of Finnish national romantic architecture. It was acquired in 1972 by Kansallis-Osake-Pankki, now succeeded by Nordea.
The Pohjola Insurance Company (precursor of OP Financial Group) was founded in 1891 and specialised in fire insurance.
They held a competition for the design of their headquarters, which would also house another Fennomane insurance company, Kullervo, with the specification that the building must be of fire-resistant stone.
Based on the submissions, they commissioned Gesellius, Lindgren & Saarinen to design the exteriors and major interior spaces, but Ines and Ernst A. Törnvall were responsible for the plans. It was the first commercial building by Gesellius, Lindgren & Saarinen.
The building is national romantic in style, with façades of rough-hewn soapstone, red granite and serpentine decorated with sculptures of vegetation, squirrels, and figures from Kalevala, and on the street corner a tower with a pinecone-shaped roof.
When it was built, a reviewer dwelt on its "Finnish-naturalistic" style, but in form the exterior may have been influenced by contemporary American buildings: Henry Hobson Richardson's Cheney Building similarly uses a corner tower, and the use of windows resembles that in Louis Sullivan's Auditorium Building.
Another Finnish architect, Bertel Jung, criticised the romantic elements as embodying "primitive, partially crude and untamed force".
Other reviewers praised it for its comparability to buildings in other countries and to their use of ornament.
Lindgren, the member of the firm who appears to have been most attached to national romanticism, greatly influenced the ornamentation of this building.
The main entrance, designed by Hilda Flodin, a pupil of Rodin, is flanked by the names of the two insurance companies, both from Kalevala, and by devils, monsters or trolls; bears, the symbol of the insurance company, top the pilasters and also appear in the interior decoration.
The door itself is deeply recessed under an arch, and the vestibule continues the allusion to medieval architecture, with vaulting and with carved animals topping pillars.
The rest of the interior also used rustic and folklore motifs, with doorways by Erik O. W. Ehrström, iron wheel chandeliers by G. W. Sohlberg, and a circular main stairway with a cast-iron banister with pine-tree motifs; the newel posts and the benches on the landings were carved wood depicting fern leaves and, again, trolls, and the stained glass featured ferns and owls.
The service hall on the first floor was given red pine panelling and a central pillar styled to resemble a tree trunk.
However, it has a steel core;behind the façades the building is brick with structural steel and from the start had Swedish-made lifts as well as an electrical generator.
The structural engineer was Elia Heikel, who was also working at the time on the Lundqvist Building opposite, which is seen as the first modern commercial building in Finland.
The building originally had flats on the upper three floors.
It was acquired in 1972 by Kansallis-Osake-Pankki, a bank which has subsequently been merged to form Nordea, but until 1987 Pohjola Insurance still had some customer service operations in the building. The customer service hall has since then been used as banqueting space. The tobacconist's Havanna-Aitta has been in the ground-floor commercial space for decades.

Two of Arriva Southern Counties / Arriva Kent Thameside's recent transfers into Harlow Garage , stand together in Harlow Bus Station .
1019 BF67WGV - Mercedes Benz City 45 - B17F .
3521 LJ03MYG DAF SB120 - Wrightbus Cadet B34F .
Personally speaking , the 16 year old Wrightbus Cadet / DAF is a totally unsuitable vehicle for the interurban trunk route 510 . Which runs between Stansted Airport and Harlow Bus Station .
And the use of a "Breadvan" on a Harlow Town service in the Morning peak period ........well !!
With no local management , and Maidstone , many many miles away in Kent . Harlow Garage seems a law unto itself .
