Durham Cathedral, as seen from a train heading to Edinburgh on my last trip to #Scotland. Construction was completed in 1133, which is mind boggling for Americans.

I have no doubt that MAGA will eventually try to somehow remove MLK's birthday and Junetenth as national holidays. And yet, they get so offended when their blatant and flagrant racism is pointed out.

National Park Service removes free entry on Martin Luther King Jr Day and Juneteenth

The Trump administration is adding Flag Day, which is also President Trump's birthday, to its list of fee-free entry days at national parks.

This set of tracks make a neat photo, but I know a half-dozen cyclists who've gotten concussions after crashing while crossing them. The criss-cross the countryside in the part of the county where we all like to ride.#Cycling #Trains

One day, I need to go through my iPhone pictures and delete a career's worth of meaningless shots of various work-related equipment. Can anybody relate?

The ruins of Kirkstall Abbey near Leeds drive home just how new everything is in America. When our oldest existing building was constructed, the abbey was already 500 years old.

I couldn't take this picture today. One of the hurricanes from the last decade flooded this bond and wiped out the dam.

I just bought "good monitors" for the first time to replace 10-year old recycled Dell displays. In the past 24 hours I've learned the importance of the appropriate cables and adapters needed in order to get the advertised capabilities out of them and why using the display port is superior to HDMI.

The Rockefeller family owned a good-sized chuck of land nearby. Part of it was a working farm and part was a retreat where they fished, went deer hunting and played golf on a private course. About a generation ago, they sold most of it to the Army. The rest is this state park.
