Video of Nothing at Nowhere
Posted by Murphy Siding on Friday, August 29, 2014 8:13 AM

    No video, and nothing to see, but I figured I'd get about 30 people to open the thread out of curiosity.  My goal is to get half a dozen of these types of threads on the front page.Pirate

  Well, I think the thread title sort of told you what to expect.

  Would you feel differently, if the thread title was

Ditto.  Knew from the subject what Murph was getting at.  Thought to myself that I probably have a lot of similar videos, or could have gotten them if I wanted to.  Case in point: yesterday, I drove a route along CAL-91 in Riverside that usually has one or two BNSF stackers visible, but nothing yesterday.  Luck of the draw.

   Reminds me of many years ago when I was using a rangefinder camera.   I got a few pictures of the inside of the lens cap.

Wow, I love the artistic interpretation of the Art Deco nothing…and that  use of such a majestic nowhere as a back drop to help frame such a fascinating subject might get you in the running for an Emmy…

I don't think that we should try what a polygamous family named Singer who lived near Marion, on the backside of the Wasatch, tried--the head of the household died in a confrontation with lawmen, and some time later there was a confrontation, and the family was hoping that the deceased would appear. Some said that Elvis appeared--but he was the wrong Singer.

Yes, it was popular when I was in kindergarten--but no one ever sang it to me.

In grade school PE, we used to square dance.   I loved it!  This was one of the songs we used.
