Mile marker 203, the gas gauge leanin' on the edge of "E",
An' I'll be dang'd if the rain ain't pourin' down.
There's somethin' smokin' underneath the hood,
It's a-bangin' and a-clangin' an' it can't be good,
An' it's another fifty miles to the nearest town.
Everythin' I own's in the back in a hefty bag;
I'm outta cigarettes an' I'm down to my last drag.
I'd sure hate to break down here,
Nothin' up ahead or in the rear view mirror.
Out in the middle of nowhere, knowin'.
I'm in trouble if these wheels stop rollin'.
So, God help me, keep me movin' somehow.
Don't let me start wishin' I was with him now.
I made it this far without cryin' a single tear.
I'd sure hate to break down here.

I have never seen the lake freeze completely over in one night, but record cold temps of -4F/-20C last night did the job. There was no ice at all when I went to bed. I don't expect it to last, however, as a bright sun even now looks to be working on it and the forecast actually calls for a few days in the 40sF/4-5C ahead...as mentioned previously, a range we have yet to see at all this year.
I do tend to give people a new chance
I'm always hoping for that they can learn from their faults
From time to time in my life I have needed to stop doing this
That is when years and years go by and there is no progress, just continuing to think of what benefits themselves, no matter what, in every way, always
All the negative sides of their personality shows itself
They have only one mission in life and that is "Me"
There need always to be a balance in things, in our ways of behaviour, our ways of thinking, what we eat, how much we excercise
Wow do I have had a wet fuse
So sometimes the new start is not for them
But for me
The time is right
All the way
My fuse is dry now, finally
I love a good trail. I love it when it pays off with some wonderful scenery or just opens your mind to the world around you.

While driving to a nearby wildlife refuge I couldn't resist pulling over to watch the sunrise over the river (oh and take a couple of pictures as well).

This is the first time I have been able to photograph this not so rare bird. They seem to like the diet of overripe berries and are known to get drunk as the berries may start to ferment.
It's not easy to get the details on this overcast day as the feathers are of extremely fine texture.
This morning I returned to Start Point lighthouse on the South Devon coast and was rewarded with a pretty sunrise.
Capturing the lighthouse light on was a bonus.
The coast path follows a route which provides a useful frame to the lighthouse.

Each new day brings with it,
Opportunities yet to be,
And, as they are unfolding,
Who knows what we will see?
*****Happy New Year 2010*****

This is the wall and fence that stops people walking around the lighthouse at Start Point - not much of a deterrent from what I could see. The Coast Path follows the headland around to the beautiful beach at Mattiscombe Sands.

The snow has begun to fall this afternoon in central Illinois and it may be slowing traffic down, but it makes no difference to the trains. After waiting for a northbound CN train to cross the diamond at Tolono, these two trains got the signal to proceed, resulting in a short-term race just west of town. The autoparts train on the main (right side) quickly passed up local train D91 on the siding due to the siding's restricted speed.
