~ Some Random, Interesting Pictures

Why? Well, it's because every blog should have some cool pictures. He, he.

~ Trains: "It's all good -- gotta love them."

• Hi folks - It's late. I am horribly congested and less than thrilled with my allergies due to the pollen in the air, etc. For now, sleeping while sitting upright or standing is not my forte so I am choosing to be a bit more productive.
• Loved the trains since I was little. Took a ride from Seattle to Montana and back. Went from Los Angeles to New Mexico and returned. Had a round-trip L.A. to Seattle on the Coast Starlight -- talked to everyone, I mean E-V-E-R-Y-O-N-E on board. Experienced the Seattle to Canada excursion. I can write books about the lives of folks I rode with. Many life lessons shared...
  
• Chose to focus on the engineering prowess of the box cars instead of zoning on their use for negative/destructive reasons in history.
  
• Perhaps, the child-like fascination or love for trains runs in the family?
• My niece, Cara, at that time a toddler -- will be 16 this November, once stared at a train set underneath a Christmas Tree in New Jersey. My sister and her husband bought it for her.
• My nephew, Andrew once a tiny tyke, now also a teenager loved Thomas the Train Sets.
• Oh, you might ask, "What does this have to do with The Wedding?" My answer, "A train ride was involved when he asked and I said said YES. Then he gave me a ring."
