I have an outdoor porch with a roof on it, but the concrete gets a little wet when it rainsBoth my 2 yr old and dog love to hang out there and watch the cars go by, so I'd like to crochet a big rag rug for where they sitIs it best to use 100% cotton material cut into 1quot; strips for the quot;yarnquot; - or should I use polyester fleece 1quot; strips instead? Trying to figure out the best material for outdoors that won't get destroyed if it rainsActually I'll be happy if it lasts through this summer/fallOrdo you have some other suggestion?
They are the same in applicationBoth are trainsIntermodal is a type of train, as is a unit train, as is a manifest, passenger, commute and so onBut in practice, the other trains compete for territoryWhat I mean is, if there is a hot pig in the picture and you are in the last siding in which your whole dog train will fit, you sit, for however long it takes for the pig to get there for the meetOne hour, five hoursdidn't matterAnd in the case of a significantly tardy pig, Amtrak heads in for onceIntermodal is hotGood trains to be onwaiting fornot so muchUltimately, it comes down to, How big is your lunch?
Commerce wise they complement each otherAs far as track use, they compete, with the hot shot intermodal units have right of way in most cases (they run on a published schedule)FYI this service has done away with the strategic importance of the Panama CanalIt is quicker to unload a ship of containers in a west coast port and rail it across the US and reload it in a east coast port then it is to use this canalThe time savings alone is worth it and it costs less anywayI am not sure of the time, but I think it only takes 48 hours for the train to get from LA to NY.
Either fiber will work well, but you may want to cut cotton fabric in 3 inch strips (or, actually, find cones of bias tape for this) and fold them with a braiding folder to keep them from fraying)Fleece, OTOH, will hold it's color better than cotton will in the sun and outdoorsBecause it doesn't fray and is thicker than cotton fabric (unless you have fabric to burn, so to speak) fleece will work up faster and be more plush and cushy on the tushy than cotton willIf the dog is out there, make sure you wash it weekly to keep down doggy odors, too.
