633

Show me! This railway car near Rocky Hill reminds me that 'talk is cheap'. Want to impress? Show me! Show me what you mean. Show me what you've done. Show me how it's done. Show me what you read. Do these things and I'll learn a lot about you, and in turn you'll learn a lot more about me. But be careful, you might be surprised at what you find. Remember, in life, things are not always as they appear. This macho, working railcar with colors of pink and baby blue might reveal something you're not expecting. Show me, but be ready to find something that might be unsettling.

  4. Hop on a train peek out of the car and enjoy the show. Destination? Who cares. Perhaps the hobo's of old had it right.

    “Show Me State” A name attributed to Representative Willard Van Diver. It conotates a certain self-deprecating stubbornness and devotion to simple common sense.

  8. As Mickey Rooney would say in those old movies -"Let's put on a show!" Nice capture.

  9. Show off? Show and tell. Show boat. Show time. Sho 'nuff.

  10. All of us here in the Show Me State completely agree. We have to remember that things are really never what they appear, just a neuropsychological mash-up of photons falling on our retinas.

  11. Ah, I knew I'd find the best post to mention this to you in a comment--please show me the photos that you took of the SP 4449 last Sunday. Pretty please, in fact. Not only was I on board, but two ladies I work with had taken the ride, too. One of them had her sister and her mother with her. We didn't sit together because I totally splurged for the dome car, but we did get to visit a bit as I had access to all cars with that splurge. Could you e-mail me at olhanson@gmail.com and tell me if your photos are at Flickr or somewhere like that so that I could see your train photos? Pretty please, again. Thanks!
