Engineering is the highest form of Art Below, a 60 year old Class 37 Locomotive caresses the topography of the Scottish Highlands yesterday afternoon. There are people out there who think art means the painting or drawing of these things, well there is some truth in that. But drawing these things before they even exist, is how engineers design them. Engineering means having the creativity to imagine and draw the thing out before it exists then also having the determination to actually go and build it, not as a dead ornament, but as a living thing that improves the lives of real people. You can then enjoy the satisfaction that you created it. You don’t create these things from nothing, but from your own efforts. If someone comes along later and paints a nice painting of your work, that’s great. But that’s not the highest form of Art (and we all know this tbh). Railway locomotives were invented and developed in Britain, part of this is down to the diverse geology of the British Isles which form an ancient uplifted geological outcrop that has been aggressively weathered by both the North Atlantic Ocean and repeated ice age glaciation. But mostly it was down to the ingenuity and tenacity of the people who got it done. All of modernity (which is built on industrial mechanisation) flows from these hills and the people who lived there back then. There’s something deeply spiritual about driving a train through these hills. In one sense the first locomotive was a glorified camp fire on wheels, in another sense it was our first step toward the stars.

All of them ...

Gaius Julius Alpinus Classicianus served as procurator of Roman Britain from 61-65 AD, during one of the most turbulent periods of the province’s early history. In the immediate aftermath of Boudica’s rebellion, his predecessor Catus Decianus, fled to Gaul leaving the province in disarray. Classicianus expressed his concerns to the emperor Nero, criticising the severity of governor Gaius Suetonius Paulinus, whose punitive policies risked further unrest. Nero dispatched his freedman Polyclitus to conduct an enquiry, and Paulinus was relieved of his command, recalled to Rome, and replaced by Publius Petronius Turpilianus. Classicianus died in 65 AD, but certainly oversaw much of the financial administration and reconstruction caused by rebellion. Classicianus’ tomb is reconstructed at the British Museum from three substantial fragments: two are lettered, with a third, a richly carved bolster stone. These pieces were discovered in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, reused within the Roman walls protecting London.

This woman records her entire family running out of the store after they stole products. Kids and even a baby! "When you got the whole team helping. No EBT/SNAP/Food Stamps." I am so sick of these people.
