"Riding on the City of New Orleans,
Illinois Central Monday morning rail
Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders,
Three conductors and twenty-five sacks of mail.
All along the southbound odyssey
The train pulls out at Kankakee
Rolls along past houses, farms and fields."
I hope everyone has a very nice day!
Peace to all.

I love that song! My fave versions are by Willie Nelson, and Joan Baez does a great performance of it for the distaff side.
Funny thing is, the first time I heard the song was Randy Travis singing the chorus in a Maxwell House Coffee commercial! Ha!
Have a great day!

Nighttime on The City of New Orleans
Changin' cars in Memphis, Tennessee ---> =)
Halfway home, and we'll be there by morning
Through the Mississippi darkness rollin' down to the sea.
But all the towns and people seem
To fade into a bad dream
And the steel rail still ain't heard the news
The conductor sings his songs again
The passengers will please refrain
This train's got the disappearin' railroad blues.
Good night America, how are ya?
Said don't you know me, I'm your native son?
I'm the train they call The City of New Orleans
I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done.
One of my favorite songs ever ... loved it since I was a kind. Another one of those sing really loud in the backseat of the car kinda songs. It still puts me in a good mood when I hear it ... especially Willie Nelsons' version. =)
Peace!

Matt, I understand the % you will possibly desire to let us know what you already know. i'm in simple terms not sure that your technique is working. human beings % to place their head interior the sand, they do no longer % to think of that issues like 9/eleven can/do/will/have take place/ed. it is way less confusing to easily permit it pass and ignore approximately it and in simple terms pass on with their each and daily lives. They see it as conspiracy concept or Hollywood (Michael Moore) propaganda. I for one thank you for attempting to make human beings conscious yet I do in simple terms no longer see everyone changing their minds. human beings truly might desire to purpose and seem at the two facets of the tale and then make a variety. i could no longer believe all your techniques/innovations/comments yet I do admire them.

Thanks! Not a bad day. Dentist for a cleaning. I actually like my dentist and his assistants. Then shopping with my Mom and lunch out. The weather is perfect. Not too hot, not cold.
I enjoyed myself. I just wish I could get rid of my cold and sore throat. Getting better.
