Why in the Hell should I have to "Press 1 for English"?
To anger a Conservative, lie to him. To anger a Liberal, tell him the truth.
It will be a great day when all children go to private schools and the money wasted on public education will go to building bombers

I wish Hillary had married OJ
While in poor taste it is slightly humorous (more so to those with twisted humor senses)

Anti-Global Alarmist Bumper Sticker
Isn't this great? I love it!
I poached the image from Cafepress.com. A page called "Veer to the Right".

Nearly 150 Years of Stories
The abandoned Laine's Grocery Store in Alviso originally built in 1865 could tell a few tales, I'm sure. Today it sits crumbling and decayed next to the railroad tracks. It's facade nearing the point of no return.
Connections
Through my Flickr page I've been corresponding with folks all over the country (and the world for that matter) who have the same interest in railfanning. I was contacted by an individual who wanted to use one of my pictures for their blog. I was quite honored that they would think highly enough of it to want to display it to their readers. I gave him permission to use it. Come to find out he's a conductor for Amtrak and does the Capitol Corridor run from Sacramento to San Jose. He may very well have been on the the train in the image in my last post. I haven't heard from him confirming that, but we'll see. It seems like a consistantly smaller and smaller world as we barrel headlong into the communications and social networking era. Here's a link to his blog "Bad Iron"
I Think It's "The One"
You would only understand this term if you were an enthusiast. So this is "the one", at least until another, grander one comes along. You can also view it large on my Flickr page

Umm, what kind of test??
I'm such a horrible blogger. Joe will attest to that. I think it's been so long since I've posted anything that I've probably lost all my readers (Joe and Mom). I couldn't pass up this picture, however. I drive by this place nearly everyday at work and today, after a night of heavy winds, I was treated to this picture opportunity.

Amtrak Capitol Corridor
I like the angle of the shot as well as the way the angle of the tracks adds to the perspective. It's just across the Alviso Slough bridge and rounding the curve coming up to the highway 237 overpass.

The Gimp 2 Photo Editor
I really have fun using the various "filters" that are provided with the program. The Gimp 2 isn't always easy to use and there are processes that are way over my amateur head, but I still have fun with the things I have figured out how to use. You need to see the image above in it's largest size to appreciate the effect.
This is another filter in the Gimp 2. It's called "Emboss". Here's the photo's Flickr page.
