I miss home, and even miss dashing from platform to platform to switch tubes (Central line to Northern line). The little things...
For sure! This one is actually a brand new Singer resto-mod. Singer’s bespoke restorations are priced from $500,000 to $2M. Pretty crazy.
A double, fantastic!

⚠️ Disclaimer: The Golden Gate Bridge is the most used suicide site in the world. The deck is about 245 feet (75 m) above the water. After a fall of four seconds, jumpers hit the water at around 75 mph (120 km/h; 30 m/s). Most die from impact trauma. About 5% survive the initial impact but generally drown or die of hypothermia in the cold water. As you can see, Suicide barriers/nets are being installed on the Pacific side of the Golden Gate Bridge.
☠️ The Consequences of Jumping from this Bridge are Fatal and Tragic. ☠️
