@gutenberg_org From the Wikipedia page: "World Book and Copyright Day...is an annual event organized by [the] United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization to promote reading, publishing, and copyright."
I'm all in on the former two planks and 100% opposed to the latter plank. Copyright chills the spread of knowledge. Sounds like the publishing cartel got UNESCO to promote their propaganda.
"Copyright is brain damage."

I failed to get up and go train chasing this morning. 🫤 But here's a last shot I made of it on Sunday. It was nearly dark. Also, this was the closest I ever got to the 4014 when it was in motion. That's one big chunk of iron to have blowing by you ~20ft away!

It was a challenging day chasing the UP No.4014. It was very slow coming up the hill in the Feather River Canyon. By the time it got in the area where I was, it was late in the day and the light was fading fast. With the rain, and snow further up the hill, the 4014 was really blowing steam!
(Keddie Wye, Feather River Canyon, Northern California.)

Asio flammeus (short-eared owl). Oddly, the "ears" aren't actually ears but rather tuffs of feathers that they can raise or lower depending on mood. And checkout the eye makeup--lol! SEOWs have low breeding site fidelity, they don't breed in the same place each year. That makes it very hard to determine population size. I participated in a multi-year study to attempt to determine SEOW population in the West:

So I'm bored turning a part on my lathe & looking at a box on my wall that holds various cutting tools. Many hundreds of times I've seen the writing that starts out "Bendix" & I'm like yawn, brake parts. For the first time I read the whole thing: "Bendix Telemetering Equip. To W.S.P.G." OMG! In the late 1940s this box contained the world's first telemetry equipment used in captured German V2 rockets that were being tested at White Sands Proving Grounds, NM!

Remembering the Ohio Kent State University massacre, May 4, 1970.
"Twenty-eight National Guard soldiers fired about 67 rounds over 13 seconds, killing four students & wounding nine others, one of whom sustained permanent paralysis. Students Allison Krause, 19, Jeffrey Miller, 20, & Sandra Lee Scheuer, 20, died on the scene, while William Schroeder, 19, was pronounced dead at Robinson Memorial Hospital...shortly afterward."

The tenements.
(You have to zoom in to see the other structures in this photo. What a nice canyon to live in, eh?)

I found this early aluminum pull-tab beer can in the desert the other day. It probably dates to the late '60s or early '70s. It's in remarkably good shape. The backside is shiny bare aluminium from sun and wind blown sand. I never drank much beer, but of all of the crappy American beers, I liked Busch the best.

Here's the view from across the canyon. The main part of the structure, the wall on the left, is actually an exterior wall with an internal open porch space between it and several rooms.

While driving through Monitor Valley in central Nevada yesterday, far off in the distance, I noticed a large shape. Using my binoculars I couldn't figure out what it was. There was a road that went toward it but stopped about a half mile from what I could now see was a semi-tractor. Yup, a big rig tractor in the middle of the desert, no road, and a horse skull in a bird's nest in the driver seat.

Looking the opposite direction down the canyon from the previous photo.
Can you imagine raising kids in this environment? Kids would love it, but as a parent, I'd be a wreck. But then I guess it's no worse than kids climbing trees or riding bikes on busy urban streets.

I don't know how I missed this awesome geology map tool, saw it recently here on Mastodon (and now I've forgotten who to credit for it) but here you go, just zoom in on any region to find out about the rock formations, fossils, and faults. You can also draw elevation profiles. And the entries contain linked citations to the reports the information was drawn from!

It's cold enough tonight to make frozen soap bubbles like these from a couple of years ago, but there's no snow to set them on. So far this year we have only received a light dusting of snow way back in November. I thought about crushing up some ice to set them on. Might look cool with reflected light from the flash? Maybe I'll try it sometime. For now my warm bed is cosy and I don't want to go outside and freeze!
