Saturday, May 23, 2009. Why does Sharad Pawar still have his job? I'll get to more of the new government later. Meanwhile, I have one question to ask of the newly elected Congress-led alliance of the United Progressive Alliance: why is Sharad Pawar being given the job of Minister for Agriculture? Let me tell you a story which might help with the measure of the man. Thakre wouldn't have it either. Neither would his family. So they did what they did. For more please read here.

Tuesday, May 24, 2011. A Tribute to "the Ansel Adams of railway photography," Richard Steinheimer. A truly special man, railroad photographer Richard Steinheimer, died this month at his home in Sacramento. He was with his wife at the time, whom he met in the early 80s when she was working at the Sacramento Railroad Museum. How fitting! His images are so beautiful, and his life should definitely be made into an HBO Special or a movie starring Clint Eastwood, or something equally honorable.

http://provincialsupertramp.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html

Monday, October 24, 2011. Red Arrows and Moscow Mules. With the Russo-ferro-historic adventure I had just had, I was ready for one last epic Russian train experience to end my trip, and so I sought it out and caught it and refused to let it escape my clutches. If I didn't have time to do the entire Trans-Siberian, I would at least partake in some form of transit steeped in Russian tradition and history. What kind of history, you ask? Read on, Dear Reader, and see. The theme song played, the wheels groane...

Decadent Western Dog - The Blog: November 2007

http://decadentwesterndog.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html

Thursday, November 15, 2007. Despite many many many procrastinations, my tale has wound its way to Vietnam. This one isn't all talk. It has pictures. Also for some reason I have used a lot of capitalisation.

Provincial Supertramp: Lost in the Hermitage

http://provincialsupertramp.blogspot.com/2011/07/lost-in-hermitage.html

Wednesday, July 20, 2011. Lost in the Hermitage. A prohibited snapshot of the interior! 1 IT IS FREE FOR STUDENTS! 2 The enormous scale of every aspect of the space. I felt like tiny Alice in an austere Tsarist Wonderland wandering the cavernous halls. Three of my favorite treasures from the museum were thus:. 2 An ancient Armenian artifact of what looked like small clay links, labelled in English as "snaffle bits,". The picture is good, but this video. I am fairly certain she chose that name herself.
