The book of love is long and boring
No one can lift the damn thing
It's full of charts and facts and figures and instructions for dancing
But I
I love it when you read to me
And you
You can read me anything
The book of love has music in it
In fact that's where music comes from
Some of it is just transcendental
Some of it is just really dumb
But I
I love it when you sing to me
And you
You can sing me anything
The book of love is long and boring
And written very long ago
It's full of flowers and heart-shaped boxes
And things we're all too young to know
Sometimes it pays to be lucky. 255 crosses the long fill and Black Creek bridge at Stoutsville, MO in quite literally the final light of a June day. The moon is rising over the scene, providing the cherry on top to this stroke of luck.
Im not like them
But I can pretend
The sun is gone
But I have a light
The day is done
But Im having fun
I think Im dumb
Or maybe just happy
My heart is broke
But I have some glue
Help me inhale
And mend it with you
Well float around
And hang out on clouds
Then well come down
And I have a hangover
Skin the sun
Fall asleep
Wish away
The soul is cheap
Lesson learned
Wish me luck
Soothe the burn
Wake me up
................ Nirvana..............

All Love Can Be - James Horner

…una mente brillante
.
...piove a dirotto e
in una via deserta si sente
d'un carro lo scricchiolio,
degli zoccoli lo scalpitio
in mezzo al triste mondo.
Abbandonato, un bambino
piange dietro una bara,
pallido il viso, occhi nel vuoto
chiede conforto alla nebbia
che stretto lo avvolge là…
dove la pupilla incerta
è in cerca d’una madre
del suo bacio, dell’ultimo abbraccio
ma oramai… tutto ha perso.
E’ solo coi suoi stracci addosso
lerci e inzuppati di pioggia
rimane la sua memoria
più santa e la più cara.
…sarai per sempre
il figlio di una donna muta.
Alza gli occhi al triste cielo
una figura intravede,…che
una silenziosa parola eleva,
sarai,….una mente brillante
e il suo ricordo lo conforta.
Gli dirà con placida fermezza;
con la gelosa e veggente tenerezza
avrò per lei sempre parole dolci
era un angelo, era la sua mamma.
………………………..…….. Luigi Mirto

…a beatiful mind
.
... it rains heavily and
you hear a deserted street
the creaking of a cart,
the trampling of the hooves
in the middle of the sad world.
Abandoned, a child
cries behind a coffin,
face pale, eyes blank
asks comfort from the fog
how tightly it wraps it there ...
where his pupil is uncertain
is looking for a mother
of her kiss, the last hug
but now ... everything has lost.
He is alone with his rags on
filthy and drenched in rain
his memory remains
holiest and most expensive.
…you will be forever
the son of a dumb woman.
He rolls his eyes to the sad sky
a figure glimpses,… that
a silent word elevates,
you will be, …a beatiful mind
and the memory of him comforts him.
He will tell him with placid firmness;
with jealous and visionary tenderness
I will always have sweet words for her
she was an angel, she was his mother.
………………………..…….. Luigi Mirto

Teaching Mathematics Again - James Horner

We spotted this sign on the side of the road on our way home from Inverell, NSW today. In times of drought farmers can allow their sheep to feed alongside the highways where there is still some grass to be had - I have heard it called "the long paddock". We were surprised and sad to see the dry, dusty paddocks which haven't see rain for months.
We arrived home late this afternoon after almost 9 hours on the road. It was a long trip and the monotony was relieved by the sights of seeing the sheep wandering along the highway and a little further on, some cattle.
Hello. Is anybody out there?

Upon learning that a trio of GP9s had been paired for one of the Hamilton sets, there was only one reasonable and logical thing to do. Wake up at 3am and drive to Hamilton for sunrise of course. When I arrived in Hammer town I was greeted by a group of friends who had driven overnight from even further away than I, who stayed the night at a rest stop. In these days, the 0700 worked the industrial sector of Hamilton called "the hole", and the 0800 just switched the yard on the weekend. When the 0700 job crew walked over to the less desirable GP38 duo (crazy to think that's undesirable) there was a unanimous "groan" from the crowd. The trio was not a guarantee, and it was a gamble that we all chose that looked like it wasn't going to pay off. We chased the duo into the hole to Bunge where they started switching food grade tank cars. While watching them switch we all came to the conclusion that to salvage the day, we would shoot mainline trains with the searchlights on the Dundas Sub. We were about to leave when we heard "0800 job CN 4116 looking to enter the hole". We all looked at each other with smiles and "hell yeahs". A few minutes later the 0800 crew passed the 0700 crew next to Bunge, and the morning chase of a somewhat rare 0800 hole morning commenced. Photographing two CN jobs in the hole at the same time is also a fairly rare occurrence. Moral of the story, stick it out. The line "so you're telling me there's a chance" from Dumb and Dumber is sometimes truthful. Later that afternoon we still ended up on the Dundas and got a nice SD75I leader on 271 at Paris. www.flickr.com/photos/130272127@N07/53344865097/in/photol...

After spending some time following a CN westbound earlier, we saw Kearsley light up for a southbound got our attention, and we were rewarded with our luck and curiosity. After getting some earlier shots, a southbound loaded grain train rolls through the marshy landscape near Rose Center.

Yes, its just a duck. Now either this Black-bellied Whistling Duck is one dumb bird that flew 2,000 miles north of where it should be, or its an escapee. In either case, it has created some interest among the local birders and photographers.
...as a box of rocks.
Iron-stone concretions to be cracked open looking for fossils. There is an area south of Chicago where the land was strip-mined for coal. The overburden of soil contains fossils from the Pennsylvanian era. These fossils were composed of plants and animals living in a very shallow sea and swamps. These organisms died and were buried in an iron rich mud. Over millions of years, they fossilized inside these brown iron rich concretions. Fish, insects, plants of all kinds, leaves, amphibians, arthropods and Illinois only State fossil, the Tully Monster. This lagerstatten is called Mazon Creek. A lagerstatten is a place where there is a concentration of fossils of great variety and of one geologic era. These concretions come in many sizes and are usually flattened ovals to round stones of this brownish color. They are strewn in the overburden and weather out or are dug out of the ground. One needs to crack them open by repeatedly freezing and thawing them or by using a rock hammer to open them. Maybe one in 30 yield a recognizable fossil.

When you think that you got what you think that you got
Give it up 'cause you're so dumb-dumb
I could make you go, make you stop, do a flip, do a flop
Give it up 'cause you're so dumb-dumb, you're so
Dumb people never think they dumb
(Nah, hell no, here I go)
You got three fingers, adding one plus one
(Nah, hell no, hell no)
There is no photo manipulation in this shot. I took this shot while cruising down the South Branch of the Chicago River. The building with all the windows was the focus point and the reflections are from the other side of the river. When I went to process this shot, I realized that there was another building in the background that closely mimiced the building in the reflection as to width and lining up with the building reflection. Dumb luck I say :-)
1. you do not have a tripod -- yea, dumb me, I didn't have one with me.
2. you have not had food for 12 hours -- yea, dumb me, again, I was so hungry my hands were shaking like crazy.
3. you do not have proper winter clothes on -- yea, dumb me, yet again. Hungry, frozen to half-death and delusional, I must have acted like a drunk fool.
I was dumb, please do not repeat my mistakes. :)
it wasn't a pretty sight, trust me
None of the above are true except that this Brown Pelican perched on this branch of the old dead tree lodged in the open area of Horsepen Bayou is likely pretty contented after filling himself full of fish and now just wants to relax a bit if that pesky character in the canoe would just leave him alone!
