Evening Everyone...the front has just about reached South Texas....We are getting some very beneficial rain and cooler temperatures. The highs tomorrow here in Alamo City are expected to be only in the 70's.
I think this comes under irony in the dictionary: Huskers play in Fresno CA tomorrow nite. Temps to be around 104 during day. We are sitting at 52 right now with 38 overnite. Here or there - I think maybe here would be better playing conditions. But they do play at 9 pm our time. Cooler, maybe?
Yawn.

Deshler Ohio-crossroads of the B&O Matt eats your fries.YUM! Clinton st viaduct undefeated against too tall trucks!!!(voted to be called the "Clinton St. can opener").
NW This is a really pretty pix! You can feel the warmth of the sun on some really great scenery!
Like James, it is cool & soggy here! Don't want to turn on heat only to have to turn it back to cool in the next day or so.
Sunny and warm. Went to go see Amtrak this morning, here is train 510 at Bellingham:
Sorry about the rather poor quality, taking pictures was not the primary objective...
It is 56 degrees, cloudy, and breezy here in Missouri's Lead Belt. (80 miles due south of Saint Louis) After having the air conditioner in the house for only a month, I am considering putting it back in storage. It has been the coolest summer since I moved here.

More light rain today and unseasonably cool. It's supposed to warm up by the middle of next week.
I'm in a hoodie right now, as the computer is showing the local temp as 49 degrees. Crocs are still the footwear of choice, though.The cider can stay cool, but warm up those donuts!

No rain on the radar, but it was cloudy, cool (+60F) and quite windy, so we moved our memorial service indoors tonight. All went well otherwise.
I have all the ingredients for some refrigerator bread and butter pickles. I'll put 'em up tomorrow and enjoy them when I get back from a weekend on the railroad.
After the memorial, one of our long-time members suggested that we see if the local cider mill will donate a few gallons of cider and some donuts for next year's ceremony (well, after, anyhow). Made me hungry. I love cider and plain donuts.

Conehead -that's a great idea. As much as I am sneezing, I should have one of those, for obvious reasons.
Closer to my kind of weather, but gotta go home now and cover the veggies. Some of the local weather-guessers are predicting wet white stuff tonite. (The roost is at 6100 feet above MSL +/-)...From the 8th floor office I can see maybe a mile right now, before everything goes all foggy white.
Scottie #4 to the vet tomorrow morning to treat a foot infection/ growth. Beldar Conehead has nothing on a scottie with a plastic cone crashing into stuff.
It is 52 degrees and lightly drizzling - all day. I am sitting here at my desk with a space heater at my feet!
Had to go out today and while watching people outside - some had on almost parkas, some had on jackets and sweaters and some were still in shorts and t-shirts and lots of goosebumps.
Blanket on/ceiling fan off tonite!
Afternoon Everyone!
Very hot here in Alamo City. Currently sunny and 97 with a "feels like" temp of 101.
However, relief is in sight. Our forecast high for Saturday is expected to be 77.
Gotta love Texas weather!
afternoon
Ns moved the one frieght and had some good ones going west from what I was able to see.The local was uptown looking at a switch.Things are busy busy.The water is going down in the ditches.Time for chores.
Murphy SidingThis seems a little off-topic. Perhaps I'll need to report it to the moderators.
One of the members of a fire-oriented forum I'm on had in his sig line something along the line of:
"{quote}This thread has been removed due to being off topic.{/quote} Isn't that what the Off Topic section is for?
That forum has a section specifically entitled "Off Topic..."

Thanks to Chris / CopCarSS for my avatar.
Long sleeve shirts and jackets! Woo hoo! Let's here it for a nice, long fall.
Thanx Murray! Not very complicated, was it? ^~^
I have an allergy sore throat today and some of those high notes really hurt!

There's an oldie-but-goodie ear worm for ya...
Supposed to rain here later tonight and into tomorrow morning. Hopefully it will be past by evening.
Carl - could have recorded a real alphabet soup of reporting marks today - all on cylindrical hoppers. Didn't have a pen ready, and I really needed to get where I was headed (and back). They were sitting in Boonville, NY, either as storage or SIT. I think I mentioned them last week, now that I think about it.
Got some cucumbers from a friend last week, and some Mason jars today - there may be refrigerator pickles in my future...
Oh Murray - one of my favorite songs..."We Like Bread & Butter; We Like Toast & Jam".....
MMmmmmm.......Jam.
Now where's the toast????
Joe - we didn't get that much here in central city parts. But our airport said about 2 inches. However, with our temp in the 60's and humidity in the 70-80%, it is very "sloggy" feeling.
I do get the feeling however, that we are the city of only moderation. Just enough sun, just enough rain, just enough wind, just a lot of allergies - , so now I wonder if this winter will be the same with snow and ice?
lot's of rain today.even rained sideways.Ns still has a westbound waiting to go west.Need to take matt to Church for his activities.Might build an ark while we are there.
Paul, I didn't get any problem reports this morning from UP West or BNSF (those are the only two Metra lines I keep tabs on). Did you have fun with the Union Station signal problems last night?Here the rain started well after midnight, and lasted until about 10:00 (we might get more in the afternoon; it's still looking pretty dismal out there). There was 1.6" in our gauge, but the lack of any heavy downpours kept the flooding away.
The ride to work this morning wasn't too bad despite the ongoing deluge. Streets weren't flooded (yet) and the Southwest Service was operating on time. Not sure on whether any other routes were affected.
Murphy Siding Randy Stahl I fixed a radiator fan on a GE dash 7 this week. I got my pants sucked off....next time I'll wear a belt Ya know, I'm tryin' to understand this, or to even visualize this in my mind. It ain't workin'.
