I'm an environmental scientist because I enjoyed climbing trees so much as a little girl.

The steam engines were long gone here in the states by the time I was old enough to remember trains at all, and I'm saddened that they're all gone now. Your dad was right too, listen and remember, because they'll all be gone some day.Thomas J Wolfendenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15222969433922908517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10608053.post-38798976134646714362009-08-13T13:12:30.794-04:002009-08-13T13:12:30.794-04:00Ranger, really nice sentiment here. It reminds me ...Ranger, really nice sentiment here. It reminds me of the town I grew up in SA. In the seventies the old steam locos were in the final throes of being replaced by electric and diesel trains, but there were still a few honest to goodness steam locos in operation. For work, not just display you know? We used to hear them every day and my Dad always said to me "remember that sound Vince, because once it's gone, it will be gone forever" <br />I would lie in bed at night and hear the slow rythm of the old rail steamer starting off slow: Shoo sha shoo. I would verbalise it in my mind as "I think I can, I think I can, I <i>know</i> I can" eventually that motor would be yooping along madly "I did it, I did it, I did it, I did it!!!!"Exzanianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15224569439945248911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10608053.post-55011703579919658102009-08-13T07:56:32.498-04:002009-08-13T07:56:32.498-04:00Honkeie: Don't worry about it, it took me almo...Honkeie: Don't worry about it, it took me almost that long to figure it out myself!Thomas J Wolfendenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15222969433922908517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10608053.post-43650270907160002072009-08-13T06:23:07.591-04:002009-08-13T06:23:07.591-04:00awesome post, thanks for sharing!
