It must have been cold when you had to go
during winter, but, on the other hand,
you wouldn't need to flush.

No doubt any longer, it is fall.
The camera didn't do justice to the lead gray skies and the
saturated colors of the trees, while we experienced a burst of
thunder clouds, that darkened the skies within less than five
minutes although it was only four in the afternoon.




Sometimes, when I watch the fantastic images at APOD, I feel as
if I get a hint of the dimensions and distances in Universe. For
those, who, like myself, enjoy "Hitch hiker's Guide to the
Galaxy" by D. Adams, perhaps "The Total Perspective Vortex" is a
pretty good way to summarize our place in Universe.

This thing, according to CNN,
was caught on a surveillance camera at a gas station.

It moved around, changed shape and kept
doing this for thirty minutes,
while people were filling gas
and going in and out of the store.





What Your Handwriting Says About You




You are highly energetic. You are a passionate, intense, vigorous person.
You are somewhat outgoing, but you're not a natural extrovert. You think first before you act. You tend to be independent, rational, and logical.
You are balanced and grounded. You know how to get along well with others.
You need a bit of space in your life, but you're not a recluse. You expect people to give you a small amount of privacy, and you respect their privacy as well.
You are a free thinker. You are unique, open minded, and artistic. You don't care what other people think.
You are a decent communicator. You eventually get your point across, but sometimes you leave things a bit ambiguous.

What Does Your Handwriting Say About You?

Last Saturday, as we were driving home from downtown, my wife noticed fire engines and some trailers outside the library.
It was a mobile exhibition and fund raiser for a memorial, a park and a museum to honor all victims at 911.
We went through the exhibition. It was refreshingly free from sentimentality, just a quiet reminder of that day.
I noticed that we both were very silent long after we left. That chill, that you experience at funerals, where a near relative or a young person has passed away, held its grip for hours.

But another thought or memory was also brought back, that sense of unity and belonging, that I believe we all felt during the following weeks and months after those horrible events six years ago.
Please, let us get back to that insight again.
The infighting between left and right, right now, is painful and destructive.

New houses in the very southern parts of Downtown, Memphis.

Today's excursion took place with my better half behind the wheel
and the target was South downtown.
The once impressive railway station
has not much more left than the front
facing Main Street






Of the tracks, where once, a long time ago,
crowds were waiting for Elvis Presley to exit his train,
home from Germany and military service,
only the solid stoppers remain as a monument, perhaps.
Two tracks remain on the west side of the station,
you can ride the train to Chicago and New Orleans
a couple of times a week, but few citizens
are even aware that you actually still can.





The ticket office was closed today,
all that reminds of better times are the pews,
they still look like what you expect in a railway station.
No crowds, though, very, very quiet





Back towards Downtown again. The railway station to the left





This is as far South as the street cars go.
Big money has been invested in downtown
during the last ten, fifteen years.
The downtown area is slowly but steadily coming back to life.
Instead of tearing down old warehouses
from the peak of the cotton business era,
the buildings are being transformed into modern apartment buildings.
But still the streets are quiet enough
to make it possible to stand in the middle of the street
and take pictures without being run over by cars.





The railway track runs close to the river,
dividing the riverfront from downtown.
Between the tracks and the riverside are new,
high end neighborhoods with a very nice view over the river






Northwards, with the harbor and Wolf River joining Mississippi River





The railway ridge




New high end neighborhoods





Passing Beale Street





Beale street, filled with tourists even in November.
