Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Sing hey! for the bath at close of day
That washes the weary mud away!
A loon is he that will not sing:
O! Water Hot is anoble thing!
O! Sweet is the sound of falling rain.
and the brook that leaps from hill to plain;
but better than rain or rippling streams
is Water Hot that smokes and steams.
O! Water cold we may pour at need
down a thirsty throat and be glad indeed;
but better is Beer, if drink we lack,
and Water Hot poured down the back.
O! Water is fair that leaps on high
in a fountain white beneath the sky;
but never did fountain sound so sweet
as splashing Hot Water with my feet!
Speaking of trains.... Rosie, did we just have a train go by?
And the lie was a three-mile grade,
It was on that grade that he lost his air brakes,
And you see what a jump that she made.
Sounded like it, didn't it? And then a firetruck just went by.
No doubt trying to stop the train, which is waaaay off the tracks.
Looks like a bad day was had by all.
What else has a horn like that? I'm tryin' to think. I didn't see what it was - only heard it.
Do any of the big rigs have something like that?
The fire truck headed back along 93rd...towards the interstate.
Kinda makes me miss my scanner, though I usually only caught the last two minutes of any disaster. And nowadays, they probably use something other than open radio communication, I guess.
Heh...someone on Craigslist is selling a van like mine, and one of the selling points is "these vans can go for well over 350k". I'm thinkin' they pulled that out of a hat, but it'd be nice if it was the truth...
Just inching up on 120k right now.
Heh, that's a good one!
I think it's just somebody who put in a big train horn. Probably a guy in a Datsun. ;~)
LOL!
Mebbe a Mazda Miata.
Woody Guthrie did!
..he was a-goin' down the grade,
doing 90 miles an hour
when the whistle began to scream...
Good Photo. - It's an interesting story.
This is the disaster song that's been on my mind this week, after that tornado. Very sad.

Yeah. I guess I'm an "AH" now. Whatever that means. :P
Norfolk Southern still runs trains on the very same right of way. It's very pretty country, foothills of the Blue Ridge, still undeveloped for the most part. Not far from where I grew up. James Mosby grew up in that area as well. Others who made their homes nearby include Patrick Henry, and slightly more distant, Thomas Jefferson, and slightly north of that, James Madison. But all along a line just downhill from the Blue Ridge Mountains, which is where the Southern laid its tracks.
Depends on who hung that 'name' on you! ;o)
I can roll with "peachy".
Does Big'ol know you're a guy?
That's about 750 words a day, which is much more do-able than the NaNo requirement. NovelIn90 also allows you to work on projects you've already started, as long as you maintain a daily wordcount.
I can see myself participating in this one, too ...
