Bluesky post: long dogs on trains photo and obs.

« on: August 25, 2024, 16:01:51 »

A situation that for ~~two~~ three reasons made me think of Grahame.

1) Long dogs on trains photo

2) Good observation along the lines of family friendly space on trains, though 3 greyhounds might be pushing it.

3) The way a post on Bluesky can appear on Mastodon and vice versa, because of something technical that they share that I don't understand well enough to explain. This might in the future be useful to the rail industry should they decide that a prescence on Twitter no longer aligns with their values.

Graham does indeed have two long dogs (greyhounds). Both very individual. Lightning is mature and sensible; Lulu is a monkey. I've met both of them, and we became sort of friends.

If I can work out how to do it, I'll post a picture of them, sniffing around for apples under the trees in their garden, back in June. Roll Eyes

William Huskisson MP^▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: Stop, Look, Listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner." Discuss.

Pictures yesterday (not stopping long enough to sniff). Would you believe this is the "mature and sensible" one?

Yes, they tend to run open-mouthed which is why you often see them muzzled - to avoid damage if there collide with something or someone
