Well, about 95% of the people that read this blog won’t have a clue about what I am talking about, but that’s ok. This weeks pic of the week shows a personal friend of mine doing something he does very well. No, it has nothing to do with the mug in his hand, it has […]
Rail Life “Flickr Pic” of the week – Palm Trees and a Potato Chip
Living and playing near the light rail line in Arizona provides many different types of scenery. We see all kinds of stuff from Mesa, to Tempe and into Phoenix. I took this shot of a whole bunch of Palm Trees this past week while standing on a 5th floor balcony looking over one of our […]

Rail Life “Flickr Pic” of the week – Happy Birthday Tempe Town Lake
