There are 4 Repub. senators that call themselves "doctor". Every one of them voted to install that psychotic, sun-dried maniac, despite knowing he had not a single qualifying characteristic for such a vital position. They can all just f*ck all the way off.

Interestingly, we have been looking to drive to Chicago for a vacation. From our home in SNJ to CHI takes about 12 hours or so. Flying takes 5 hours, and we'd still have to drive to Philly to get the flight, and all the other garbage that goes along with that. A train takes 20 hrs! We can do better.

#BlueSkyArtShow These railroad tracks behind our house get #Shiny only under certain conditions. This is late August, at sunset.

A late August sunset lights up the shiny railroad tracks behind our house. The sky was a beautiful graduation of colors from nearly white, to yellow, peach, pink, violet and hazy blue. The light has to be *just* at the right angle at the time of the year to reflect on the steel rails like that.
