@AmtrakAlerts and @AmtrakNECAlerts are not updating passengers! We only found out when we got to the station that the train is 1 hour 45 minutes late! And counting!
@NJTRANSIT_NEC Kids…please find another way home. Share Ubers. Call your families. Check into the bus system. I was on Amtrak and bailed. When everything gets up and running again, which will be many more hours, NJT will be last in line for the tracks - behind Amtrak.
@AmtrakNECAlerts I think that the “grumpy” on the part of we passengers is…why not tell us to bail out/give up? At least tell us if it’s hopeless or X hours. I gave up and got a hotel room in the city. We deserve better, and you can do better.
@qxeenfatima@AmtrakNECAlerts Affecting NY to NJ Penn but the stack up happening now will take hours to clear even if it happens right this second, which it won’t.
@EricJorgenson You will be shocked at the number of light bulbs in the house. Stock up.
Have the sewer line cleared to the street truck. I guarantee that has never been done.
Clear the dryer vent to the outside. Twice.
Have all the HVAC vents cleaned.
People occassionally ask to see how the original image compares to the cleaned-up enhancement, so I thought I would zoom in and show the speckly visual noise of the original which I removed. It also demonstrates how much the blue dyes had faded. I really had to push the saturation levels there.
I think this is a most remarkable window into the past, connecting us so immediately to the ghosts of those who went before us. It was taken 110 years ago, on Monday 19th January 1914. French photographer Auguste Léon photographed this little girl in the village of Aswan in Egypt, where he was recording the local culture for the Albert Kahn planetary archive. I have cleaned & enhanced the detail of this autochrome for you, but the colour is original (it has not been colourised).
Amazingly, this early Edwardian colour photograph was taken 122 years ago! The lady in white was photographed in 1902 by the German scientist Adolf Miethe, who not only co-invented the first practical photographic flash but also made huge advances in early colour photography. This shot pre-dates the invention of autochromes by several years and instead employed a series of 3 [red/green/blue] coloured filters inside the camera.
It has not been colourised.
Have you ever seen a genet?
It looks like a hybrid of a cat, a dog and a ferret, but it's indeed a family cousins of the mongooses, and more closely related to hyenas.
