thinking this labor day about all the athletes in women's sports who didn't have a stable league, who were only making decent money from a spot on their national team, who had to fight to get even a fraction of what they deserve. who spent their prime without a club league or the infrastructure to propel the sport. who came of age after title 9 in the usa [forcing schools to fund women/girls’ sports], the ones who fought for cbas and are only seeing big change at the end of their careers or after their careers concluded. who didn't have the media attention before, but are now showing just how much they can sell out stadiums and arenas. the players who played year round because overseas teams paid athletes what they were worth. athletes who endured and reported harassment but the league never took appropriate action. athletes who never had the media attention or ability to monetize their talent but who had careers that were just as impressive as the stars of today. who did it without the help of the science, technology, and medicine we have today. who set records with less support and fewer games in a season, which will be broken by kids who have had personal trainers since high school. athletes who played great games that are no long available to view, their talent no longer archived and accessible for young or new fans. athletes who still don't have a league or are just getting one in 2024. athletes who took it upon themselves to create change for which they will never reap the full rewards.

Heard a Full-Grown Adult who was sitting behind me on the train tonight genuinely say “I don’t know why people are worrying about the cost of living” and honestly even if he was joking, I’m amazed his girlfriend didn’t dump him on the spot

ROFL, or possibly KOFL... :->

This might be a perfectly-timed accident, but I suspect someone with a sense of humour in the control room - where they'd be well aware the steamer was in their station - activated that PA message at the appropriate time.

Accident or deliberate, it's a beaut! :->

That steam loco also reminds me of waiting with DD in Köln Hbf for our own early connection to the airport, finally getting home days late after the Icelandic ash cloud business in 2010...

... when a vintage steamer hauling vintage coaches came thumping in and was saluted by hoots from every other train there.

The whole thing was a charter excursion by Rheingold, and though we were happy to be going home, we were also more that a little envious...

*** watch with sound ***

Historic steam engine: Sets off developing huge clouds of smoke and steam

Public address system: Please note: Smoking in the station is only allowed in the designated smoking areas.
