Hear those rails....

Mamie by Carl Sandburg

Mamie beat her head against the bars of a little Indiana

town and dreamed of romance and big things off

somewhere the way the railroad trains all ran.

She could see the smoke of the engines get lost down

where the streaks of steel flashed in the sun and

when the newspapers came in on the morning

That picture is awesome looking, but it makes me think he has run over a chicken for comedic effect.

Also, Happy Soon Birthday!

Hi Lisa! Facebook told me about your birthday, I claim no credit!

I'm doing alright! I'm looking up how to make sugar flowers because I'm gonna try. They're awesome!

Stay good!

Желаю счастья целый ворох,
Улыбок радостных букет,
Друзей надёжных и весёлых,
Счастливой жизни целый век!

С новым годом, тебе год добавили! С днем рождения, в общем. Ура!
