This morning I saw the train "a comin, it's rolling round the bend, and I ain't see the sunshine....", sorry, I must have been channeling Johhny Cash. So, I saw the train lights coming as I crossed the tracks and I timed it pretty well. I stopped near the intersection and tracks to have a little Sustain sports drink and mill about for just a sec before going out in the road to stop the cars that were already stopped at the crossing, and wave the train through, that was going through anyway. And then directed the cars to proceed when the crossing arms went back up. And I don't think anybody got it, don't think I saw one smile. But the engineer did give me a train whistle! And I did get a nice hello from the school crossing guard just down the street, another case of smiles multiplying.
And I think I found the last symbol of the Christmas season, I found the last jingle bell out in the road this morning. The reindeer antlers have pretty much all been shed from area cars and I don't suppose they'll regrow them til late this fall.
I almost forgot, there was also a shelf organizer? You could put it in a cupboard or on any shelf I suppose and have room for stuff above and below. I have since put it in by the office window where I have a bunch of plants all competing for light in the window. Nice when something you find can be put to use, and surprisingly, I have found uses for quite a few things.
