The Election Cometh

Ten Happy Things

Saying of the Day
How come we choose from just two people to run for president and 50 for Miss America? ~Author Unknown
Picture of the Day

Tomorrow the nastiest election I can remember will be over.
Those who haven’t already vote and who intend to vote will do so.
The media will be racing to be the first one to tell us who won.
Then I hope healing can begin.
I am not sure it will because each side is so very convinced the other side is evil.
Some want punishment for past assumed crimes
Some want blame layimng
But we can hope that the one we elect will be wise enough to bring us together.
The next four years will be tough.
The economy is a mess.
Terrorists are still waiting for a chance to strike.
Social Security needs shoring up.
To tackle the problems we need to pull together.
It is not a time for casting blame.
It is not a time for partisan anything.
It is time to pull together.
The question is can the man we elect lead us there?
I pray so.
We will see.

News from Pigeon Falls
The little town in my basement where the trains still run, dragons fly, and life is back to normal.
Petrovich released a translation of driblet 300 today. It reads as follows:

In the City of the birds a shadow falls,
It gets darker
And darker
Dead bird all wrong
A Seer sees

Old lady missing what she needs
Flying cow but no dairy
Riddles
The dark gets darker
One Last Vision

Then darker
Soon the town will be no more
No houses
No people
trust the vision

No dogs
Even the ghosts are gone
Only one can stop the dark
Only one can solve the riddle
not the seer

Only one will know
Find the one
I must find the one
It is horrible
He knows but he doesn’t know

I can not watch
Find the one
He dreams
He can stop the dark
Put the pieces

No town, no people, no cows
It is horrible
Stop the dark
Find the one
From the past

He knows
But he doesn’t know
I can watch no more.
This will be the end
where they belong

My head hurts
I awaken. I need a drink.

Wrap Up

I have a cold complete with a cough and phlegm. You can't imagine how horrible it is to have breathing problems and a cold. That's the bad news. The good news is that for the sixth day imn a row my morning oxygen levels were up in the normal range . This despite the cold. In the morning I scanned another album into the computer. That took all morning. In the afternoon we finished the second tunnel, installed and tested a remote switch track, and installed a siding with a log dump feature. We also ran the entire setup. Tomorrow we build mountains out of Depends and Plaster cloth. Coming up I visited all of my links and discovered two of my favorite blogs ( I have lots of favorites) are gone. Now I need some cough medicene and a breathing treatment.
