Black cat, you say? Meet Binx, my fur son.

Sir Binx The Inky. (He becomes Sir Binx The Invisible in the dark.)

Me holding my oldest niece, circa summer 2007. (She’s now 19 years old.)

Officer Silfies comes to the aid of a stranded motorist while a PC local rumbles by in the background. (There’s a Toys R Us boxcar in the consist because I don’t wanna grow up.)

The mailman picks up the day’s mail at the post office as a Penn Central commuter train passes the Lower Main St crossing. Doodleburg’s zip code is my parents’ wedding date (December 6, 1975).

My bushes are made of lichen, they sell baggies of it in the modeling aisle at Michael’s. Here, an obviously drunk motorist ended up ditching into the bushes after turning down a dead-end street trying to evade the police.

Apparently there’s a pot of gold somewhere inside the local Walmart. Photo by me.

The Colonel has set up shop in downtown Doodleburg. And judging by the almost-full parking lot, this location is quite popular. It reminds me of the little drive-up KFC we used to have in my hometown when I was a kid.

House tiger! She looks like my Aloy.

Here’s EdChess, an old DOS chess program I first played with in my preteen years, running under DOSBox on Debian 13. The #nostalgia here is so thick you can cut it with a knife.

A little Penn Central action at Collier Interlocking. A tanker train waits in the siding for a commuter train to clear the line before it can proceed. (In my alternate universe, passenger trains have priority.)

Aloy is currently laying in my lap with her front paws crossed, fast asleep.

All together now: Aww!

Class at John Adams Elementary gets momentarily disrupted as #6039 whistles for the adjacent crossing, making all the kids rush to the window to watch the train go by (much to the consternation of their teacher).

Three years ago, my husband (badpuppy282.bsky.social) and I visited our old volunteer job at Karma Cat Rescue Society in Milltown, NJ and came home with a little souvenir. Happy gotcha day, Aloy!

(As you can see in the picture, she’s a far better laptop than my MacBook.)

Northern Italy meets Southern Italy. Potato gnocchi with sausage and peas in tomato sauce. Let us feast!

“Whaddaya mean I’m not on the list?!! I have to meet with the plant manager in 20 minutes. Now open the gate and LET ME IN!!!!”

U33C #6541 idles in the refinery yard while GB Petroleum’s over-zealous security guard hassles the guy in the blue station wagon.

The mailman stops at 7-Eleven for a coffee as SD35 #6039, four grimy tankers, and cabin car-turned-shoving platform #4930 crawl across Upper Main St, probably headed for the nearby refinery.

Looks like the old overgrown barn I have on my model train layout.

U33C #6541 rumbles past Doodleburg’s tiny station house with a short freight train. (A vintage Toys R Us boxcar, a relic from my childhood train collection, is bringing up the rear because I don’t want to grow up.)

I have an old overgrown barn on my layout too. Here, a group of deer are unbothered by a passing PC commuter train.

The ultimate Xennial mug, gifted to me by my husband. Currently filled with some fine Colombian. (Coffee. Not the kind Steely Dan sang about that’ll get you arrested at the airport.)
