Solo dios sabe, solo dios
Qué es lo que te pasa
Qué es lo que te pasa
Escuché tu nota de voz
Ya hoy llegando a casa (llegando a casa)
Solo con un beso
Poco a poco quitando el peso
No hay problema que no arregle el sexo
Sexo, ya ves....
Slowly reentering civilization, the Logan Local claws up the 2.2% grade as it crosses over the first of two ancient wooden trestles on the last part of the trip to Harrison. Note the "repairs" down below! There has been a lot of conjecture about why this line remains in service, but it does have a fascinating history which few know:
On September 23rd, 1889, the Northern Pacific and Montana Railroad Company began construction on a new line from Sappington, MT to Norris, MT. Following its completion on July 5th, 1890, the Red Bluff Branch would serve customers in rural Montana before the Northern Pacific filed for abandonment in 1969. Although approved by the ICC, this attempt was ultimately blocked by the Department of Public Service Regulation on July 5th, 1972, exactly 82 years after construction finished. 132 years later, this branch is still active to Harrison, MT. It is served once a week by the Montana Rail Link, and has every feel of a branch line survivor, with jointed rail, light bridges, cattle gates and steep mountain grades. Truly a step back in time.
A true survivor, which still has a valuable use as seen by the "large" 5 car train they have in tow. Although I would have preferred it facing the other way, the MRL #127 is a 1954 product of EMD delivered to the Great Northern as one of their two steam boiler equipped passenger GP9's. The best part is that it was setup to run long hood forward! I can take solace in the fact that technically its running forward the way EMD intended.

Standing in her office doorway, turmoil shadowed him. The rose hidden behind his back felt like a desperate plea. Years of battling inner demons had scarred him—his job, relationships, and sense of self all in shambles. Her unconventional methods, though, had started to work their magic.
Seeing her at the coffee shop had only intensified his feelings. Valentine's Day loomed like an ominous reminder of forbidden desires. He knew he shouldn't feel this way about her, but he couldn't help it. Taking a breath that felt like dragging air through a storm, he stepped inside. Their eyes met, and the world outside turned to ash. "Happy Valentine's Day," he whispered, holding out the rose. Her smile widened, sparking hope amidst the darkness.
Just breathe, he reminded himself. Maybe, just maybe, he could find solace in her presence. To be continued...

“You are so good at reading us stories Posh and we all love the Pooh Bear ones.” Said Sky.
“Yes, he seems such a clever bear with his hooman, Christopher Robin.” Agreed Bertie.
“Posh, can be invent a game like Pooh did, and then we can all play it together?”
“I don’t know Sky as I’m not that good at inventing games. Can you think of anything Bertie?”
“How about we go outside and climb the trees and see who can get the highest?”
“Climb trees Bertie? I’m not that good at climbing. I don’t know about that.” Said Posh.
“Why, don’t you like climbing then, Posh?”
“It gets high up there when you climb, and I’m not that keen on the falling or landing parts.”
“Does it hurt when you fall then Posh?” Asked Sky.
“No, not really, falling is fine for us bears, but we haven’t got the landing bit worked out yet. That is very ouchie.”
“I don’t do ouchie either, Posh.” Agreed Sky. “I also can’t see why anyone would just want to climb a tree, well, that is not unless there was a buzzy thing living there who had lots of honey.”
“Anyway, we are better with our paws on the ground.” Said Posh
“We could ask Elli to take us out in the ellicopter and find a stream with a bridge over it and play “Pooh-sticks” like in the story.” Said Sky.
Posh and Bertie looked at Sky but said nothing.
“I said, we could ask Elli…”
“We heard Sky and whilst going in the ellicopter is something of a game of chance, as you can never be sure of where we are going to actually end up. It also becomes a bit extra ouchie and very confusing when she suddenly decides to fly downside up and backwards without warning.” Said Posh. “That reverse gear in the ellicopter was a bad idea.”
“Watch out everyone, the man is about with his picture taking thingy on legs again.”
“Oh no, not again Bertie. He must have managed to take at least one nice picture by now.” Said Posh.
“It doesn’t look like it Posh, he is going to have another go. I wonder if he likes to climb trees?” Said Sky smiling.
“If we had tried my suggestion of climbing trees, we wouldn’t have to sit and watch him trying to get this picture. What is the more painful Posh, landing from a tree or sitting through any session with the man?” Said Bertie.
“I take your point Bertie, smile everyone and get this over with and then up the trees we go.” Said Posh.
