Home isn’t an easy concept for me. My dad wasn’t in the military — he was a mechanical engineer always on the lookout for more money and more challenging work — but we moved around. A lot.
We constantly pulled up stakes and traveled to wherever the next job site was. By the time I was four, we had moved five times. By the time I was a sophomore in high school, it was up to twelve moves, seven different school districts, and six different states. My family moved back to southern California during my junior year in college, when I was in design school in Richmond, Virginia — and they have all had many moves themselves since then.

It’s been a long while, but I thought that a stormy day would be a good one for a new quiz. But you better hurry — Tillerman and Elisa just destroy these things when they arrive on the scene.
This quiz will adhere to the strictest of rules — there aren’t any. You can do a reverse image search (I’ve already checked, so good luck with that), use Google for any edge you think it can give you, shotgun your guesses, etc.
Hints? Hah! You only get hints in the comments section once people begin to ask questions. This is meant to be fun, so have at it!

UPDATE: Congrats go to Tillerman, Robin Kent, and — of course — my Dad, for contributing background info to many of these science and technology quizzes. As Tillerman discovered, this is the lead-shielded diesel locomotive used to transport the nuclear-powered jet engines on display out in Arco, Idaho. You can read more about the nuclear-powered jet engines in my earlier post about them here. Continue Reading →
