Endless Spring
Rain and more rain
We've received measurable precipitation during every day in recent memory. We're still seeing highs only in the upper 80s to low 90s. It feels a lot more like late April or mid-May than July. I sure don't mind the cooler temperatures, but we really could use a few days to "dry out" so the ground will be able to hold more water from the next wave...
On July 2, the clouds inspired M to impersonate a well-known Edvard Munch painting...

Check out this page from a recent REI catalog. The landscape looked very familiar to K and me, since we experienced it first-hand back in April. The location is the Pololu overlook on Hawaii's Big Island.
Even when very few trains are running ( and due to the flooding up north, there sure haven't been many though Keller lately), something interesting always seems to show up, even if it's just a boxcar sporting an interesting logo from some faraway railroad. Here are a couple I've noticed during the past week.

Ahh...yes, the endless monsoon that Texas has been this year. It's insane: it was drier in KY when I visited this month, than in Austin!
Thanks for the SW Railfan site, Wes. Get to take a tour of BNSF and go to Saginaw. I'm ready for some railfanning action.
