Today was a beautiful day, high about 82 with a slight breeze so I decided to go railfanning. I wanted some pics of the old Rock Island Depot so I headed there first. Because of "special" construction in the area I coldn't really get where I needed to be to take the shot I wanted. [:(] So while I was downtown I went to Union Station. While I was there I shot a pic of a UP/NS engine combo pulling an intermodal train. So I had the idea of catching it across the river on the North Little Rock side (the good side of the river) and as I was crossing the bridge I noticed the railroad bridge was going up. So I changed plans and headed to the railroad bridge. I got out of the truck and walked around the foot/bike path trying to find a good shot. I walked off "the beaten path" and took several pics from various angles. Another train with a SPpatch/UP engine combo pulled up the the bridge so I shot it too. A few minutes later I began to itch. [:(] Then I started to itch even worse. [:(!] [:(] [:(!] Since it was warm I was wearing a t-shirt, shorts, shoe, and ankle socks. The itch was just above the ankle socks and it was turning red. Mind you I didn't scratch it, I was afraid it was poison ivy/oak. I cut short my railfanning trip and headed home to take a shower hoping to prevent it from spreading. That was around 5 pm. It is now almost 8pm and I have a cream on it. I hope that tomorrow morning that it is gone but we will have to wait and see. But it definately put a stop to my railfanning for the day. AND on the way home there was another train I could have waited on and saw but . . . well I wanted to get in the shower as quickly as possible. And how was your day? [;)] <br />
