Nope...it's on Treasure Island in San Francisco Bay.

Oh,
And I got one for Rat and the train guys. I don't know what is is but some DART-strocity in front of Sons Of Herman. Has anybody been down Scyene Road lately? DART's out of control.

| | | | Barry, that is a tamping machine. Those things are usually operated by Harsco, which I think this one is, and they contract with the railroads to drive along and shake the shit out of the ballast (rock) and ties to keep it settled and tight.

| | | | Yup ballast tamper.
Saw a similar job today. This actually lays the ballast down. It was heading south towards Houston in anticipation of the storms.
Crappy washed out shots but you get the idea.

| | | | OK,
I posted this photo a couple years ago but still don't know what the story is. I found it in a little cemetery hanging from a tree about head height. I know it's some Santeria/ Voodoo stuff but can anyone read/translate the writing? I have a hard enough time when it's printed, much less cursive.

It is Spanish but I can't even make out the individual words to translate.

| | | | Not a honeysuckle, at least not the kind you pinch the bottom off of and suckle the honey from.
The flowers always attract ants (not fire ants, but some sort of bigger, sweet-loving ant). So the kids named them "ant flowers". Not sure if that helps, though.
