Oh, maybe that wasn't the final. The crowd still went nuts. :)

Is Indy still in Detroit?

Right next door in River Rouge...

CSL Tadoussac in a very calm Rouge River as a 3 unit CN 383 manifest heading to Flat Rock, cruises by in the foreground over the Conrail bascule bridge.

Have always liked that CN livery. For a few years we rented a cabin in the Poconos and would usually see an NS train with a run through CN locomotive in the lead on the former Lehigh Valley main on its way to N. Jersey.

Same for driving a fuel efficient car. While you're driving a hybrid or e-car, there's 10 people passing you on the interstate at 80 mph in a large gas-guzzler.

I guess one can only do what they think is right and figure the universe will take care of the rest.

It’s a chilly and windy morning, which feels more like early March than late April.

Time to ride!

It's supposed to get down to 38 in Morgantown Saturday night. It will probably be colder in the woods at French Creek. At least I will have the Philly bike club picnic to look forward to. My route just happens to pass right by it on Sunday.

There's nothing good about water wasters.

That's just down the street from where I work in Melvindale That's marathon oil refinery. I 75 over Fort street.
Edit; That's a weird angle for me, I'm on the other side looking back normally. That's on the wrong side of the salt mine from me. Messing with my head man!

We visited Marathon when we were out there last month. Huge customer of ours. Went to the lab. Met the guy who, among other things, tests samples for octane levels.

I work with people who have been down in that salt mine. (It's a big customer as well.) They say it's really cool (literally and figuratively) down there. Our trip was on such short notice that we couldn't arrange a tour. Personally, I have no interest. With my luck, the thing would collapse and I would end up the subject of a Gordon Lightfoot folk song.

Okay, this made me chuckle out loud.

Funny/ sad thing is not that long ago he would happily talk about laughing at all
the Nigerian 509 scams.

Well, around here, you're likely to be passed by an e-car. Teslas are like belly buttons here.

I won't lie; the water concerns me about moving to CO. Not sure what to do about it though; not like staying in Texas is a great hedge against global warming.

You mean there isn’t a Nigerian Prince that needs me to spend his money?

What's the concern?

Anybody want a Le Col $60 coupon that is good with any purchase of $140 or more?
