Tornado and a Train

Ever seen a Tornado hit a train? This is looking back from the Locomotive towards the train/consist. We are instructed to keep the train moving but even if you saw the Tornado it would take over a mile to stop. At the 1:08 minute mark you will hear the "Swoosh" that is the train coming apart and the emergency application taking place. Watch for the trees sway as the train is rolling down the tracks.

Demolition in Vegas.

Great Video.

When this Casino was on strike I picketed with the workers. When the workers finally got a union contract I marched in the front doors with them and guess who was standing beside me? No other than Jessie Jackson.

Karma is a bitch.

I wonder how this turned out?

The GREATEST Thing A US POSTAL Worker EVER Did

I received this in an E Mail today and wanted to share it.

This is one of the kindest things you may ever see.

It is not known who replied, but there is a beautiful soul working in the US postal service.





Our 14 year old dog, Abbey, died last month. The day after
she died, my 4 year old daughter Meredith was crying and talking about how
much she missed Abbey.. She asked if we could write a letter to God so that
when Abbey got to heaven, God would recognize her. I told her that I thought
we could so she dictated these words:

Dear God,
Will you please take
care of my dog? She died yesterday and is with you in heaven. I miss her very
much.. I am happy that you let me have her as my dog even though she got
sick.
I hope you will play with her. She likes to play with balls and to
swim. I am sending a picture of her so when you see her You will know that she
is my dog. I really miss her.
Love, Meredith

We put the letter in an
envelope with a picture of Abbey and Meredith and addressed it to God/Heaven.
We put our return address on it. Then Meredith pasted several stamps on the
front of the envelope because she said it would take lots of stamps to get the
letter all the way to heaven. That afternoon she dropped it into the letter
box at the post office. A few days later, she asked if God had gotten the
letter yet. I told her that I thought He had.

Yesterday, there was a package wrapped in gold paper on
our front porch addressed, 'To Meredith' in an unfamiliar hand. Meredith
opened it. Inside was a book by Mr Rogers called, 'When a Pet Dies..' Taped
to the inside front cover was the letter we had written to God in its opened
envelope. On the opposite page was the picture of Abbey & Meredith and
this note:


Dear
Meredith,
Abbey arrived safely in heaven.
Having the picture was a big
help. I recognized Abbey right away.
Abbey isn't sick anymore. Her spirit
is here with me just like it stays in your heart. Abbey loved being your dog.
Since we don't need our bodies in heaven, I don't have any pockets to keep
your picture in, so I am sending it back to you in this little book for you to
keep and have something to remember Abbey by..
Thank you for the beautiful
letter and thank your mother for helping you write it and sending it to me.
What a wonderful mother you have. I picked her especially for you.
I send
my blessings every day and remember that I love you very much.
By the way,
I'm easy to find, I am wherever there is
love.

Love,
God
