Him will take tablet (in carrion)

Watch out for the Vultures for they like dead Lion meat, (carrion).

LION is going to ride tonight's Empiire Builder MOT-CHI-WAS-RMT.

Him will take tablet (in carrion) and a laptop in the checked bag. Don't know if I can use WiFi on AMTK or even if the tablet will work. I'vv visit the diner while on vacation, but I cannot post pics until I get back since I cannot access my servers from outside of our newtork.

 

Him will C U in September....

Well, that's good.  I'm sure LION could leap out of the way of any approaching train but it's those insidious germs in all that garbage along the tracks that has me worried.

I mean, we don't want LION to get sick and die!

LION is not down by the track. Him not go in unsafe places. Hime is perched on a conduit above the signal.

Him is on a Stairway.

The station definitely has the appearance of a hybrid from a New York IRT station and a Chicago CTA station in the State Street subway.

The daily commute is part of everyday life but I get two rides a day out of it. Paul

Lion is on the end of the other platform.

This is 168th Street on the IRT West Side Line, one of three bored from bedrock and one of the deepest on the A Division. Because most of the stations were built close to the surface as a cut-and-cover operation, these stations had to be designed differently. The others are 181st Street and 191st Street.

I don't see the lion in this one, but I don't care, that's one fascinating looking station!  Where is it?

Nah, he's doing his best smokestack impression atop the grey structure.  

He got his fur smoked. I didn't recognize him in his gray trench coat. As the old visine commercial, "He got the red out".

Yes, this be so. Besides you ought to know that there are no smokestacks on an elevator housing. Big Fire Department nonno.

Could the Lion be on the track 2 signal one section from the near track 2 signal. Beyond the two eyes (reflections) between the rails of track 1 (nearest the camera)?

Newkirk Avenue is an interesting place. There is no road here, never was. It is a pedestrian concourse, the subway is in an open cut to the left. The Dunkin Donuts is a good place to eat, the LION stops there every time him visits New York. Usually get a Big Buttered Popply Seed Bagle, and maybe some Lemon Donuts to go.

Speaking of donuts...
