The thousand footer Edwin H. Gott towers over visitors to the Soo Locks on Engineer's Day. This is an annual event when you can get up close and personal with these giants.
In the streets of Jalalabad, Afganhistan...
Ace: I'm glad that we got away from that terrorist. If you hadn't thrown that frag grenade at him we would have gotten killed for sure.
Saber-tooth: We aren't in the clear yet. I suppose the best thing we can do if the city is under siege, is to head out to the desert and get to our forward operating base.
Ace: Sounds like a plan.
Suddenly a man wearing a dark tan hat approaches the group. Ace raises his M4 and says...
Ace: Hold up right there! Who are you?
Owen: Easy now! My name is Owen, I am with the Canadian military. After the United States declared war on Scimitar Canada decided to join their ally by sending in some troops to assist the U.S. military.
Dawg and Lance are talking among themselves when Dawg says...
Dawg: Back-up eh?
Lance: Shut up! We don't want to offend him.
Ace lowers his M4 and Shakes Owen's hand. Saber-tooth does as well.
Saber-tooth:Great to meet you Owen. I'm Saber-tooth, this is Ace, and the two behind us are named Lance and Dawg. Now that everyone is on a first name basis, Scimitar has taken over the city and they have the support from their other fighters in Iraq and Syria as well as elements in Russia. With that being said, I think that our best plan of action is to get to the desert and get to a forward operating base. From there we can create a plan of attack. Let's roll!
Canada joins it's Ally, the U.S. in the war against Scimitar.
Another build for The Epic Conflict. Tell me what you think.

Hair up and more or less finished with the transition from day to evening make up. A little heavy I think.
One of the interesting things about laser hair removal is that even when making up formally it is really quite easy to overdo it as you become used over the years to having to trowel on the slap.
In this instance I over did it - not by much but enough to look less natural.
By the way -any thoughts about how the hair looks tied up? - Can I get away with it?

At some joke he just remembered that someone told him the other day. Sorry, ma, you had to have been there!
A close-up shot of Psycho in his (uhm, her) iconic pose of pointing a make-believe gun to her head. Why? Dunno, Psycho just does that. O.o
Tech stuff: same processing as the other Psycho photo (Topaz Lab's Adjust "Clarity" filter) to add some graininess and hyper-realism to the pic; adjusted the LEDs in her mask to make them glow more (brightness/contrast bumped up and an outer glow).
this is the first orchid that I ever owned. I actually bought it for my daughter for her 18th birthday a few years ago and she asked me to babysit. (while she is in University) I have named this orchid Katrina, or Kate for short..or Kate the great! Kate means pure so that fits...
The faces of EMD on the GTW at Elsdon Yard in Chicago on June 28, 1971. This photo actually looks much better, when cropped on the left just in front of the rear-end of the GP, but I wanted to present it as shot, so that "other" EMD thing lurking in the background would be shown.

UP 6310, one of the final five patched ex-SP AC44CWs, is working in DPU service along with two already rebuilt C44ACMs, after being attached mid-train to the MPDRV at Eugene. Recently Union Pacific has announced another order of AC44CW rebuilds from Wabtec that this time seems like it will cover the rest of the entire fleet, meaning the final five will end up in fresh coats of yellow paint sooner rather than later. The location is McCredie Springs, on Union Pacific’s Cascade Subdivision in Oregon. Locomotive consist is UP 7978, 6822, and 9002 on the point, with UP 6310, 5743, and 6278 mid-train in DPU mode. The final five patched SP AC44CWs are UP 6236, 6310, 6318, 6378, and 6379. Picture taken November 16, 2025.
