Spotting from Home, or Bored!
Unlike the engineer, that's 'driver' to you and me, I got fed up waiting so I moved to Waupaca, Wisconsin, no, I have no idea where that is either, and discovered the foundry there was still working, possibly because this engine had just moved some of the trailers, filled with Coke standing in the background, into the furnace area. This looks to me like one of those little 'wild west' towns that has little to build on but the foundry. Quite why this town exists is not made clear but it appears to prosper. Small town America lies before us here.

Blue Sky & Vapour Trails
I had to cross the park as I wanted to walk in the sunshine and take everybody's advice re exercise. So I avoided the icy patches still lying there, it was minus 3 with wind chill added in spite of the sun, and the friendly local people were also avoiding, both individuals and even eye contact, with one and all. That is indeed something new around here. Twenty years ago almost everyone would acknowledge you were alive, very few do this now. I blame incomers from London. They buy the new expensive houses and bring London attitudes with them.
I hope these two planes passed at different heights!

Spring Snow...
By the time Hamilton Academicals had dropped two points at home tothe Blue Bigots proper snow had appeared. This however, did not deter those who thought they could, or needed, to drive around in it as it appears many cars are still out there in spite of it all. Had I not been wrongly banned from Twitter I could find out how many accidents are occurring in this region because of the snow! Bah!
So instead of wandering across the world I have watched football, stuffed my face, fallen asleep again, and spent much time looking for a small piece of paper. As you may understand, there are lots of those lying around this house, we are not all computerised as yet...

Holocaust, Abortion
While we rightly remember the Holocaust in which 5 million Jews and over a million others were gassed, let us not forget other Holocausts such as the Armenian one, nor forget the nine million children murdered by abortion since 1967 in the UK alone. All human life has value, all!

Soup, Burns and Woke.
He aften did assist ye;
For had ye staid hale weeks awa,
Your wives they ne'er had miss'd ye.
Ye Mauchline bairns, as on ye press
O tread ye lightly on his grass,—
Perhaps he was your father!

Boring Saturday
Bumbling Boris has been to see the floods up north, though I see no photographs of this. Possibly he remembers the last time he visited a flood plain late, he got cat called from all sides and ran away. Maybe he went at night when none could see him? The environment secretary did visit flooded areas, but will he listen? Will it make any difference? Will money arrive for new defences? No, is the simple answer, it always is.
