I guess that big shield at the front of the train could be called a "horsecatcher" as well as a cowcatcher.

If a horse leaves Denver at 6am and a train leaves Chicago at 9am traveling 80 miles and hour how long will it take to make a painting of them?

It's really fun to play with horses and trains in the Red Dead Redemption games.
There's a trophy you can get if you hog tie someone, leave them on the tracks, and wait until the train comes and runs them over.

BOOM. That truck looked like it had been hit by a torpedo! If I'd been in front, or any car had hit it, the driver would have been killed, but since the crane truck's cab was elevated off the ground, the torpedo went through the truck body underneath him.
I was thinking of more of the extremely nasty details, but now I think it's better just to stop there. Except to say that the horse wasn't just "hit" by the truck - at the point of contact, that poor horse basically exploded.

Why would someone paint this? Not just the horse charging a locomotive theme - why the whole thing? Or, once painted, keep it?

Don't know why, but it reminds me of that scene in Patton when Patton comes up to the troops trying to move a horse cart out of the way, and he just shoots them and has his men throw the horses over the bridge. "There's a goddamn war going on." I think that was the line. Great scene.

Those Muybridge photos were in response to a wager. I don't remember if Muybridge was one of the bettors, instead, I think he was asked to set up the cameras to prove/disprove the claim. The cameras were lined up with tripwires that the horse tripped as it passed, creating the famous sequence. Yadda, yadda, yadda... "Batman and Robin".

"First Place" said Snow White.
They continue walking and they see a sign: "Contest for the strongest man in the world.

You can go out in the sticks around Amarillo which is kind of hilly but it's dry as fuck. Normal bodies of water are a small percentage in size of what they used to be on maps.

If one of my kids fit into ANY privileged ethnic/racial group, he would be admitted at every highly selective school to which he applied. Since that is not the case, he is working one-on-one with an extraordinarily expensive test prepper. And I don't even know if it will help. The test prepper delivers the goods, though!

But, after 20 years in MN, it was hard to argue with sunshine 300 days a year.

Northern Arizona is lovely too. Williams might be too busy because of the GC tourists in the spring, summer and fall.

I hate to say it but a Seattle transfer to Texas would only be half way
comfortable in the Austin area. You don't move to Texas for the beauty
or weather.

I was able to visit My Man while he was at Ft. Bliss a few years back. He got a day pass and we drove from El Paso to Carlsbad one day. I was struck by the emptiness. Two hours of nothing. All that space was fascinating. If we had another day, I would have liked to have gone up to Alamogordo.

The thing I like about Phoenix is the city streets will get you where your going faster than the freeways will... unless your going WAAAAAY to the other side of the city.

Reasonably flat Texas panhandle town. So, winds, snow, heat, rain....standard rush, really. Close to Colorado and New Mexico if you want mountains or skiing, tho.

Then someone said, correctly, that it stood for the Robineau Brothers or some such shit and I was wrong. Also, I remember that I worked at Roy Rogers, not Arby's.

A nice area in Texas is an arc between I-10 around Schulenberg up to I-45 around Madisonville. Hilly enough and between Austin and Houston without actually having to be around there.

Diogenes, I just bought a place near CdA. Have not spent much time there, but for sure it is beautiful. Went trout fishing with a guide, caught a boatload, let them all go, and learned a bunch about fly fishing my self-taught self never new. Bought my first gun, sadly since lost etc. I thought this winter was going to be 12 feet of snow, but really we did not get much.

When I grew up there, there weren't any freeways yet, so it always amazes me when I go back to see them. What part are you in? I grew up in the citrus orchards under Camelback Mountain, sister says that's gotten to be a trendy area now. It wasn't so much then, that was when the Big New Trendy Thing was McCormick Ranch.

Except Arby's hasn't advertised with Limbaugh. So they had a fake boycott. My boycott of them is quite real.

State highway departments have done a good job of expanding well-traveled highways into four lanes. They seem to be trying to keep stops to a minimum and most of the time you can find a "regular" highway that goes straighter to your destination than the interstate. Never mind that most every town has a filling station and you don't have to go thirty miles wiggling in your seat until the next rest area.

I've always felt that - people who've never been on the desert have no clue how beautiful it can be, or how after the rare rains, it's covered with that sweet, sweet smell of the acacia trees, or how in the morning just before the sun rises, you can be hit with a cold breeze that's quickly wiped away with the first light of day. There's a reason that for millennia, those seeking God have gone out into the desert to sit and contemplate.
