While the car was getting fixed I roamed around the streets Harrsionburg. There was a BBQ place there that I wanted to try at but it was closed that day. I thought I'd give it another try with Steve but on the way there we saw the L&S Diner. There was a free parking place so we altered our plans. BBQ would have to wait. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/510982a9e4b093a501222a7a/1361653354415-5B20LARQ8BNRWIZEY0YF/IMG_2696.jpg Porkville, USA photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/510982a9e4b093a501222a7a/1361653356387-B0YEWXHO1EY8KYDKCWCV/IMG_2695.jpg Porkville, USA photos - HARRISONBURG What made the L&S Diner interesting was that this was the old L&S Diner.

I hate writing these things about myself so I took a few liberties. Here is what it says; Russell Rogers holds a BFA in Painting (1986) from Temple University's Tyler School of Art and a Master of Environmental Studies (2000) from the Evergreen State College in Olympia Washington. For most of the last 20 years, he lived in the Pacific Northwest where he worked as a research biologist studying habitat selection in non-game birds and was the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife's expert on shellfish disease, pest, and predators. He recently moved back to West Chester PA, with his wife and three children where he is now back to painting full time. He still studies birds but shellfish are a little hard to come by. In his free time, he enjoys studying the host parasite relationship of birds and dipteran parasites, endurance cycling, mid oceanic deep sea diving, voyeurism, and collecting spent fuel injectors from Formula 1 race cars who had drivers with Basque sounding last names. For extra cash, on the third Thursday of every month, he works in Hollywood as a body double for Brad Pitt, Denzel Washington, and Betty White. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/510982a9e4b093a501222a7a/1361653361302-VHG9HLEZ07SNDJNFDF9T/IMG_2736.jpg Porkville, USA photos - MARTINSVILLE The walls where the art work is displayed is somewhat strange.

I bought an lens package that has an attachable closeup lens that seems to work pretty good. The company is called Smart Phocus. Here is their website. This photo of winter aconite was taken with it. In the past I would have had trouble getting the iPhone camera to focus on the flower and not the background. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/510982a9e4b093a501222a7a/1415130943270-PZI8TZN843QJRDXGP2ZE/IMG_7026.jpg 2014 Photo update - Spicebush Here is a photo of a spicebush flower. While the close focus is good, the iPhone still has issues with things that are yellow.

I hate writing these things about myself so I took a few liberties. Here is what it says; Russell Rogers holds a BFA in Painting (1986) from Temple University's Tyler School of Art and a Master of Environmental Studies (2000) from the Evergreen State College in Olympia Washington. For most of the last 20 years, he lived in the Pacific Northwest where he worked as a research biologist studying habitat selection in non-game birds and was the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife's expert on shellfish disease, pest, and predators. He recently moved back to West Chester PA, with his wife and three children where he is now back to painting full time. He still studies birds but shellfish are a little hard to come by. In his free time, he enjoys studying the host parasite relationship of birds and dipteran parasites, endurance cycling, mid oceanic deep sea diving, voyeurism, and collecting spent fuel injectors from Formula 1 race cars who had drivers with Basque sounding last names. For extra cash, on the third Thursday of every month, he works in Hollywood as a body double for Brad Pitt, Denzel Washington, and Betty White. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/510982a9e4b093a501222a7a/1361653361302-VHG9HLEZ07SNDJNFDF9T/IMG_2736.jpg Porkville, USA - MARTINSVILLE The walls where the art work is displayed is somewhat strange.

This is a tropical rain forest exhibit with lots of birds. They also had an Australian exhibit with thinks like flying foxes in it.

Our bus driver was a little lost when we got to Baltimore. So we got there a about 40 minutes late. Then, when we were in the rain forest exhibit, the fire alarm went off. The entire building had to evacuate. In case you were wondering the emergency stairwells are all painted green. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/510982a9e4b093a501222a7a/1371170342585-IOU4M1VUTYZV54L1VXAZ/IMG_4657.jpg Spring 2013 - Baltimore Aquarium Once we were all outside, we decided to take a stroll around the inner harbor area until they let folks back in the building.   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/510982a9e4b093a501222a7a/1371170340821-84OZKZG991HOA7OFFKXN/IMG_4661.jpg Spring 2013 - U.S.S.

They live upside down because they host a bacteria that produces it's food. Being upside down exposes the bacteria to light, thus producing food for the jellyfish.

Each lock along the canal had a keeper. The keeper lived on site in one of these lock houses. This is Lock House 28 (for mile 28 along the canal). Some of the lock keeper houses that survive today are rented out by the NPS for over night stays.

Now, you might notice that there is an evergreen tree to the left of Jake. We noticed. It was a jack pine (Pinus banksiana), which is probably introduced at this latitude. It is native further to the north. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/510982a9e4b093a501222a7a/1388433128925-QB3LFBEV5N524ZA0ZBTC/IMG_6241.jpg Sugarloaf Mountain - Sugarloaf Mountain A jack pine up close. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/510982a9e4b093a501222a7a/1388433129132-O0Q7BZQQTWBSUNBLZ5X6/IMG_6242.jpg Sugarloaf Mountain - Sugarloaf Mountain Due to the fact that Jake and I are botany nerds, we also noticed other coniferous plants growing nearby that seemed to be different. Sure enough, we identified this as a Virginia pine (Pinus virginiana).

Now, whether this one is native to this part of Maryland is not clear. The lion's share of its population lies roughly within the same area as jack pine and northern white spruce. However, there are small isolated populations through the Appalachian Mountain chain south to North Carolina and Tennessee. Either way there were several of them growing beside the road on the way down. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/510982a9e4b093a501222a7a/1388433129892-H7HEH8HSO39MJ18H0VPF/IMG_6250.jpg Sugarloaf Mountain - Sugarloaf Mountain Growing right along side of the Northern white cedar was conifer number 7, an Eastern red cedar (Juniperus virginiana).

This orange was found in passenger luggage from Nepal. All citrus is prohibited unless it has a USDA permit. This one looked a little funny so I cut it open to find live fruit fly larvae inside. That is a live wiggler on the table at the bottom of the orange. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/510982a9e4b093a501222a7a/1439398435047-SARZTNYI8YQWWZE2HV9Q/IMG_7429.jpg The Work Place - The Work Place This is a seed from the orange with a live fruit fly larvae coming out of it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/510982a9e4b093a501222a7a/1439398448033-SFC0UAD0LOHEKQJBSEH1/IMG_7748.jpg The Work Place - The Work Place This is a bell pepper from Spain.

We sent these to the USDA for identification to find that were not prohibited insects. However, the peppers were suppose to be cold treated thus having no live insects at all. This was an issue. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/510982a9e4b093a501222a7a/1439398444409-RP50KNGYN99O1M434V4Z/IMG_8050.jpg The Work Place - The Work Place Here is an orange that was cold treated where it did kill the larvae within. The dark things in the vial are dead fruit fly larvae. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/510982a9e4b093a501222a7a/1439398441850-TT208TMK1O2DQH26AVGP/IMG_7756.jpg The Work Place - The Work Place We see passengers from every corner of the world. Likewise we get fruits and vegetables from every corner of the world. This one took me a while to figure out what it was. It is the fresh fruit from a cacao tree, inside are cacao beans, the stuff chocolate is made from. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/510982a9e4b093a501222a7a/1439398439270-CLMQU5LJQCBU1KXKMLPU/IMG_7562.jpg The Work Place - The Work Place In addition to fresh fruits and vegetables we see massive quantities of dried beans and other seeds. If you look closely you will see holes in these cow peas (Vinga unguiculata). The holes were created by bean weevils ( subfamily Bruchinae in the family Chrysomelidae). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/510982a9e4b093a501222a7a/1439398437880-O0XT5YK0595SI3OQR47Q/IMG_7436.jpg The Work Place - The Work Place These are from an acacia tree. They are often found in incense mixes from Africa and the Middle East. The seeds alone are prohibited. These seeds also had insect holes. I placed them under a Berlese funnel to extract any insects still that were alive. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/510982a9e4b093a501222a7a/1439398424548-IM6869DEGTE8YK7WUTR8/IMG_7478.jpg The Work Place - The Work Place What I found in them were live Khapra beetles. One of the world's most destructive insects. This is a big deal as it even made the local news here and here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/510982a9e4b093a501222a7a/1439398428341-201J03H14NKUHZVZGVIN/IMG_7872.jpg The Work Place - The Work Place That we find lots of seeds and such in passenger luggage does not surprise me. What surprises me is the volume in which we find them. I usually save a sample of each type of seed that I come across. This is a drawer of all the different types of beans that I have found. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/510982a9e4b093a501222a7a/1439398421791-6ZYUNPMTKBKLA0APP26Y/IMG_7871.jpg The Work Place - The Work Place This is a panoramic view of all the different seeds I have collected. All of these are from passenger luggage coming through the Philadelphia International Airport. Eight trays worth! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/510982a9e4b093a501222a7a/1439398423046-H9FSUE7R213ICXAWWZTG/IMG_8023.jpg The Work Place - The Work Place I also save specimens of all the insects that I intercept. These are specimens I collected just from the month of May. Most of them are beetles. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/510982a9e4b093a501222a7a/1439398443035-LM9BSVNQC5JOLH5W6K7Z/IMG_7547.jpg The Work Place - The Work Place The interior of the airport I find to be a strange place. It is like a giant shopping mall but instead of a giant parking lot cars surrounding it, it has a giant parking lot for airplanes. It is usually filled with tens of thousands of people at any given time during the day. The one day of the year that it is deserted is Thanksgiving. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/510982a9e4b093a501222a7a/1439398444117-LAQWGWOOGCOXDFNC61BE/IMG_7549.jpg The Work Place - The Work Place Only two international flights come into Philadelphia on Thanksgiving, both are British Air flights (damn Brits messing with our holiday!). Between these two flights a walk around a deserted airport is a strange thing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/510982a9e4b093a501222a7a/1439398448627-RJT2KO6SOSS1ZDGIBRV9/IMG_7736.jpg The Work Place - The Work Place One sign that cracks me up every time I see it. I often wonder what is is about 6:45 AM that makes a stiff drink unthinkable when 7:00 AM is just fine. It never fails that I will see someone at the bar watching the clock for the 7:00 o'clock hour. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/510982a9e4b093a501222a7a/1439398401441-JJ7G7PDZSGOS2GVGS5VK/IMG_7819.jpg The Work Place - The Work Place In January I moved from the airport to marine cargo. It offers quite a different view. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/510982a9e4b093a501222a7a/1439398406148-OYKQMKM7KT5T56NEAI6X/IMG_7786.jpg The Work Place - The Work Place For anyone that thinks the Federal Government always gets the best of the best. Think again. Number 11 was the office that I moved to at one of the marine piers. The interior was like the set of the 1970s TV show "Starky and Hutch." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/510982a9e4b093a501222a7a/1439398399261-2WKEBHKQDP11DSHGFP2U/IMG_7505.jpg The Work Place - The Work Place But, the views outside of the trailer were really nice. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/510982a9e4b093a501222a7a/1439398402359-1AM69HYWESJ2DYVOTIPR/IMG_7827.jpg The Work Place - The Work Place Part of our job is to board and inspect the food items in the holds of vessels. Sometimes we get a hint at how difficult a life at sea really is. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/510982a9e4b093a501222a7a/1439398403381-WZDCFZD1X5WZY049E525/IMG_7864.jpg The Work Place - The Work Place Sometimes, just getting on a vessel can be difficult. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/510982a9e4b093a501222a7a/1439398405593-254XSUVPAXCNLIRIELRG/IMG_7936.jpg The Work Place - The Work Place Sometimes the signs of danger are more subtle. I was puzzled as to what these boxes were and why they were filled with only bags of sand. The captain said that the sand bags were to stop the bullets of pirates along the east African coast. This was an older vessel constructed before piracy of large cargo ships was a problem. Vessels that are built today come with heavy steel plates across the front of the bridge. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/510982a9e4b093a501222a7a/1439398408036-25VVQ4MWHHY5M6JGL2UA/IMG_7793.jpg The Work Place - The Work Place Marine piers can be a dangerous place as well. This is a pier north of Philadelphia that receives raw materials for making concrete. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/510982a9e4b093a501222a7a/1439398409416-Y19KAOAE6P284LCM8S73/IMG_7830.jpg The Work Place - The Work Place Back in January, a silo collapsed killing one of the workers there. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/510982a9e4b093a501222a7a/1439398410035-FT11U3H4FKTCE0W17SAY/IMG_7816.jpg The Work Place - The Work Place Marine piers have lots of very large heavy metal things moving around day and night. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/510982a9e4b093a501222a7a/1439398411042-LNNPIN79JWUC1V6Y4B77/IMG_7996.jpg The Work Place - The Work Place With my current job, I inspect wood packing materials such as these wooden crates. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/510982a9e4b093a501222a7a/1439398418417-XHPLT0XGVV76D3QXUJDS/IMG_7794.jpg The Work Place - The Work Place We also look at dunnage.

This stamp tells me that the wood is from Spain (ES) and was heat treated (HT). The numbers are for the agency responsible for certification (03) and the facility where it was treated (0001). The issue is that treatment is expensive and stamps are not. We can't assume that stamped wood has actually been treated. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/510982a9e4b093a501222a7a/1439398412471-ISD2GC55LN9HTC5YHKON/IMG_7511.jpg The Work Place - The Work Place But about 1 out of 10 species of wood we break open we will find a living critter like this beetle larvae. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/510982a9e4b093a501222a7a/1439398414612-QVHWIU1WC9WQIQYTZN4R/IMG_7993.jpg The Work Place - The Work Place We also look for wood with insect holes like this.

This wood was from India and treated with methyl bromide. The little piles of frass are from a beetle named Sinoxylon anale.

This is a type of “tent making” bat. They are fruit eaters who create their own roost at night by biting the veins of banana leaves so that they droop down forming a “tent” which the roost under. To identify them conclusively you need to see the tail membrane between their legs, which ain’t so visible in this photograph. However, that said, I think this is probably Heller’s broad-nosed bat based on the stripes on the back and head. 13 August 2019.
