Actually, you guys got AMTK huratajj everytime I have gone to Cancun. In DC until Sunday afternoon, so perhaps you'll get SOMETHING. I really want to go to Harper's Ferry, but I don't think that will happen. Looks like good odds for something from Long Bridge Park in DC though.Jochs wrote:You'll have to go farther away, like to Cancun. We're still stuck with AMTK 54/AMTK 90413 on the Pere Marquette. We want to see hurritaj!MQT3001 wrote:LIVE from Washington, DC
Don't we always get hurtiaj when you go to Cancun.

Re: Random Thoughts
Haha! School is closed again for tomorrow. In 11 years of school, this is the earliest close ever, behind a 6pm order for the Groundhogs Day Blizzard for that Friday. Christmas Break, originally scheduled to be 14 days long, is now at least 17 days long, with Dec 20th being canned earlier.

I've just reached my data usage limit for the month. I'll be offline mostly until the 19th. I am currently on some unsecured wifi I found in Michigan City, at 1 Mbps

It is hard to have a data limit when your connection is measured in bytes
Re: Random Thoughts
My dialup line is disconnected.
I actually read my data display wrong, and I actually had 4.29 of 5G used. I have used some since then, and have about .5G left for the week.
I still have to watch my data usage.
The community college down the street from me is back in session this week so I can go to the library there and use their guest wifi now.

Re: Random Thoughts
Yesterday was the best day yet for TRRS1, getting 494 views, aided by my 1-25 trip report. That destroys the old 243-view record from 12-30 (Harpers Ferry uploads) and a few other 200-view days after major events like Chesterton and the MQT Santa Train. It also has Jan14 besting the old monthly record made by Dec13, which had bested Nov13.

Re: Random Thoughts
I am now just sitting here on my couch at home after writing about my fathers death and it all reflects back on me... I have an interesting life and if my dad could make it through school and eventually work 2 jobs, I can too. I just need to get off my butt and do it. My goal this year is to finish the semester at CC, legally marry my GF, and find a job with a railroad. I HAVE to do this. I CAN do this. I know he will help me every step of the way. :') I miss you dad. I love you so much. I wish you were here to help us all through this hard time. You'd love to see what we have become.
This is my life. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
If this is a problem get used to it.

Good luck. My dad died 3/18/1963. Almost 51 years. I remember...tsinoms wrote:I am now just sitting here on my couch at home after writing about my fathers death and it all reflects back on me...

Sounds like a great plan! Once you get rolling it will be hard to stop
PatC created a monster, 'cause nobody wants to see Don Simon no more they want AARR I'm chopped liver, well if you want AARR this is what I'll give ya, bad humor mixed with irrelevant info that'll make you roll your eyes quicker than a ~Z~ banhammer...
Re: Random Thoughts
This is the first time I've seen something blooming outside since last fall. Vernal Witchhazels are an ornamental Witchhazel which blooms in late winter. (Last year these bloomed in January, just weeks after the native Witchhazels finished blooming. Native ones bloom late Sept-early Dec.)
The cold winter ended 28 consecutive months of being able to photograph some kind of flowers outside in Southwest Michigan. (During the mild winters, you could almost always find random dandelions blooming around Berrien County close to Lake Michigan, like this one on 1/6/12)
Cold weather followed by mild weather in November 2012 confused the female part Willows.
And some Silver Maples
Really? You can't say that pu$$y willows? How about Salix discolor then.
