In '95 we had to straddle the grey dog to Milwaukee to catch the train to go to Colorado. The train ride was enjoyable, the bus not so much.Kulkurihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09198195648066700925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1921957991631086138.post-49554894827155861442012-09-01T00:38:05.244-05:002012-09-01T00:38:05.244-05:00Nice soliloquy Jim.

One needs to be careful in considering the consequences of hasty words or actions. Maybe someone should mention this to the Republicans.susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747450215034568033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1921957991631086138.post-44843953415570856202012-08-24T19:46:19.975-05:002012-08-24T19:46:19.975-05:00Lots of wonderful lore and romance surrounds the r...Lots of wonderful lore and romance surrounds the railroads. They're a much bigger and more-important part of our history and culture than most people realize today. <br /><br />There's a fine example of it in <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&v=AJ0JgqoF2W4&NR=1" rel="nofollow">The City of New Orleans</a> by the guy who wrote it, Steve Goodman. And a rousing version by <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYjOMIki6qs" rel="nofollow">Arlo Guthrie with Pete Seeger and others</a>, at Wolftrap.<br /><br />S.W.

Usually while waiting for them to get out of my way so I could speed along. I like train whistles though. I find them mournful, which probably has something to do with the hobos who inhabit them--or at least I assume they still do, but probably they don't any more. Anyway, you sure lit up my synapses with this one. And Akins? He's simply a person of limited intelligence which is apparently what passes for Teabagger smarts these days.
