Puget Sound / Olympia, Washington area (Eld Inlet), where two massive ''Steller sea lions'' decided to take over a small sailboat while someone was out fishing.
These two look like large adult males (or one big male and a large female). Together, that's like 10 big men casually lounging on a small sailboat — no wonder it's sitting so low in the water and listing to one side!
For comparison: A typical male California sea lion (the ones you see at piers in California) is much smaller: ~300 kg / 660 lb. on average, max around 350–400 kg.
OMG 😳 Footage from inside a school bus shows a terrifying moment, kids screaming as the driver drives straight onto train tracks, even with an oncoming train in clear view.

This is one of the iconic photographs of the ceremonial meeting of the Central Pacific and the Union Rail Road lines at Promontory, Utah in early May, 1869. The completion of the transcontinental railroad was one of the most important historical events in the history of the nation. The railroad ushered in a new era of settlement and industry which profoundly impacted the mining regions of the western states

There are probably a thousand of these houses on the nearby city that could easily be made nice.
I post a lot of aspirational places on here because it’s always fun to think about and see what could be done.
But anyone could take a simple, already built house and turn it into a really nice place. The smaller, the better. Every project costs less.
That means more $ for furnishings and finishes. Better a small place with beautiful hardwood floors than a 6000 sqft house with vinyl.
All the skills can be picked up along the way. Any able-bodied guy with a YouTube account can do what it takes.
