A close-up view of the U.S. flag deployed on the moon at the Taurus-Littrow landing site by the crewmen of the Apollo 17 lunar landing mission. The crescent Earth can be seen in the far distant background above the flag. The lunar feature in the near background is South Massif. While astronauts Eugene A. Cernan and Harrison H. Schmitt descended in the Lunar Module "Challenger" to explore the lunar surface, astronaut Ronald E. Evans remained with the Apollo 17 Command and Service Modules in lunar orbit.

I'm getting to that point where all the clouds I grew up with are getting married and having little cumuli and posting pictures on Stratusbook of their first hover and I'm still single and I used to be bummed out by this but the truth is Goldie is one of my best friends and we have this deal that if neither of us have found someone by 2015, we're getting hitched and spending the rest of our lives together so it's a win/win(d) situation no matter what happens.
I started playing around with five-wide Lego cars more than 14 years ago (!). Lego has progressed a bit since then and so have I, as a builder. New brackets, nicer wheels and various curved slopes have made this a bit easier.

Bit about me, I'm a 14 year old photographer, I love photographing wildlife, landscapes, pets, urban scenes, and other things that really interest me!
Q25405 with UP 2001 leads loaded racks north on the Louisville and Indiana Railroad at Franklin, IN. This was an ex-PRR route from Indy to Louisville. The south end of the LIRC has had major upgrades in the past few years and the north end of the railroad is still rocking out the jointed rail along with a semaphore and position lights near downtown Indy. 1-5-17.
I guess we'll make it a local day. This is the WB version of today's M-TPTP as it works it's way back west on the UP Kansas Sub at Linwood.
Always makes for a good day when you can catch a GP40 leading a train in fresh paint.

Today will be one of my rare no-neckwear days. I have not worn this in awhile, but once every few weeks or so I do like to try the buttoned up look. I work in the morning and plan to meet with a friend for a late lunch. With the cold weather and early darkness of the season I do not have any other plans so I will probably have a relaxing evening at home. I like the contrasting white collar on this black shirt. I have an all-black shirt on order and look forward to some outfit combinations with it soon.

"First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me."
A poem written by Martin Niemöller, which criticized German's unwillingness to stand up to the Nazis as the regime cracked down on the political freedoms of socialists, trade unions, Jewish people, and, finally, "me."
Such a poignant poem that even in today's time {when you think we should have learned from our mistakes in the past) is very much relevant with a demagogue trying to seek the higher office by demonizing minority groups to invoke nationalist, xenophobic fervor.
// "When Trump came for the Mexicans, I did not speak out ---
Because I was not a Mexican.
When he came for the Muslims, I did not speak out ----
Because I was not a Muslim.
And then he came for me--- and there's no one left to speak for me."

The Tie pile at the Wilson Ave grade crossing makes a great prop for a certain cat to fly on past at a solid 20 miles per hour.

We're supposed to get a big dump of snow tonight. There's nothing like warming up in front of a hot fireplace.

This was me on my very last night out before lockdown on Wed 18th March 2020. Now that we can see some light at the end of the tunnel I am posting this one now. Maybe I'll get out again this year? Not likely to be before the autumn I think though. xx
Built in August of 2000, UP 4053 was part of the first batch of UP's 1000-unit order of SD70Ms. After many years working in all sorts of roles, this unit has now found itself in storage at Congress Yard near Downtown Houston. And given the open hood doors likely mean copper thieves have been here, a return to service may be difficult, if unlikely, for this locomotive.
