One of my friends in Texas attended a high school whose sports teams were called “The Fighting Ganders.”
In other animal kingdom news, I went up to put dishtowels in the laundry basket and found someone had peed on the floor of the laundry room. I suspect a cat, if only because a boy would have produced more of a splash pattern. (Also, most of the boys are at camp.)

I've had my shower and will go have breathing treatment before I go unlock the clubhouse. And I think that's going to be the high point of my day. I was hoping to go to church to hear Eddie's talk, but that requires too much energy.
[I could swear I smell green onions frying in preparation for a breakfast of some kind...:oO ]

All I can smell now is Pine-Sol. Maybe I should fry some onions up to improve things.

I’ll go unlock the clubhouse, and then come back and have the breathing treatment.
This is a day for T-H-E S-L-O-W-S...

One thing I learned when I finally realized I had CFIDS, way back when, was that if I push myself, it will be worse for me, with more symptoms, more severe symptoms and longer lasting symptoms. The best thing to overcome it is just to let it happen until it runs its course.

Looks like a British switch engine or yard goat.

As Covenantor said it is a GWR 0-6-0 PT.
They where used for light goods and branch line work.
Some where rebuilt saddle tanks other where built as is.
There where ,no exaggeration, hundreds of them built.
24 of them are still known to be in existence.
Kids love them from the Railway story books.

Considering the background fog , the photographer has achieved a cracking job of it.
Probably a CCD the size of a football stadium. :)

Maybe Holmes arranged the lamps like that for a specific purpose, and the housecleaner is afraid to touch them.

Afternoon, folks. Pat, James, and Vlad are home from their backpacking trip and have washed. Their laundry is underway.
Kathleen made a friend yesterday playing outside. She wanted to go over to her house this afternoon. She told me the mother spoke Spanish but the little girl, whose name she had forgotten, spoke English. No problem. However, when we arrived at the house, I realized she meant a Polish family! (They have an electrical contracting business.)
Fortunately, the mother speaks adequate English. They were very pleasant and said their little girl, who is about 8 and has toy horses, will walk Kathleen back up the street at 5.
