We are powering through the starting processes for these mares. They are both doing really good things. We need them started so we can sell them off to the nicest bidder.
Eva is coming along most excellently. Here is me in the saddle for the first time. She is a good girl.

So far I didn’t receive a mail from #eurail. Lately I bought all my #interrail passes at #Allaboard. Might that be a difference? Is anyone here with an Allaboard pass affected by the #security incident?

We have been starting Ash. Here he is unsure about the weight on his back.
You can see his eyes going "sleepy" as his stress levels go up.

The “mural” of the story: Silo art enhances community
While traveling this year, we have been fortunate to see several outstanding examples of grain elevator/silo art being employed in cities and towns across the heartland. Given the naturally gray/beige color of these enormous structures, a splash of bright, bold colors or an inspiring image can enhance not just the towering structure itself, but also help brighten the entire surrounding neighborhood.
While approaching either downtown Salina, Kansas or Mankato, Minnesota, one cannot help but be impressed by the sky-high artistry depicted on the local grain elevator silos. The towering images of unity, community, diversity, and friendship in these two mid-sized prairie cities are breathtaking. Meanwhile, when entering Toledo along Interstate 75, the Glass City River Wall fronting the Maumee River immediately captures your attention.
Few community placemaking efforts can create such an immediate, meaningful, and positive response from locals and visitors alike. Personally, this retired planner prefers those silo murals that have a local historical and/or human connection versus just painting them to add color or a standardized patriotic theme. Such a direct connection is important to build both initial and continuous support from the community.
The murals also help promote civic pride and create a catalyst towards the rebirth of aging sectors of the city/town. Just imagine an outdoor performance venue with these 100+ foot tall icons overlooking the busy festivities below. Similar projects have been done successfully at former steel mills in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania (SteelStacks) and Birmingham, Alabama (Sloss Furnaces) and at a former grain elevator in Buffalo, New York (RiverWorks).
Or perhaps a food truck rodeo could be established at the base of the silos serving up delicious meals throughout the week. Or they could become the centerpiece of a civic plaza with fountains, courtyards, light shows, and landscaping adoring the site. Honestly, the sky’s truly the limit for ideas employing these immensely impressive structures.
Kudos to each city/town here in the United States and elsewhere who have found the wherewithal to take visual art to exciting new heights. Below are images of the six silo murals we observed. Peace!

It seems I encountered my first disadvantage using an #interrail pass from #allaboard. #Italiarail only accepts passholder numbers beginning with „EU“ or „IN“ while my allaboard pass starts with „AA“.
Not a big disadvantage though, as #raileurope is cheaper anyway… -

*Würfelt, was für Interrailpässe er sich besorgen soll.*
1. Klasse schon mal klar, aber einen oder zwei, 10 oder 15 Tage in 2 Monaten, das ganze zweimal? Oder doch gleich noch einen Dreimonatspass für Mitte Juni bis Mitte September nächsten Jahres?
Oder zweimal 15 Tage und einmal 3 Monate und davor das Aktions-BÜGA für Graubünden mit der Rhätischen Bahn für den August, natürlich auch 1. Klasse? Oder brauche ich das schon am Wochenende?BÜGA: https://invia.ch/DE/rabatt.html
Fragen über Fragen. Egal, die Seite mit wiedererstattbaren Interrailpässen regelt:

Honestly, our railways are going the way of the stereotypical Indian railway with people almost hanging off the sides of carriages. It's that crowded.
Then there's no hot water and no trolley service.
Then signal faults that were also there a week ago delay me by 30 minutes and make me miss my connection.
But, hey, privatisation works huh Mrs Thatcher?
