Today I am thankful for:

remembering my dad with this photo...

finding some cool clothes at a thrift store

RAIN! Even though it was only about 15 minutes worth... it was the first in months...

... and the smell of rain...

and the slight wind with the rain...

Netflix

recipes from friends

fresh brewed coffee

cheese puffs... and the orange residue it leaves on the fingertips

and the quote:

"he who knows nothing... gets the most out of everything..."

(--- don't know who said it... but it's awesome)

the lights at the MIDDLE of the tunnel

So .. right at the Railrunner Station, at Central Ave and 1st street... there is an overpass for the trains/ underpass for cars on Route 66....

Recently... there has been a project there in the works... which is now completed. I am not sure who did the installation, or who was responsible for getting this done... but BRAVO.

The installation is a series of lights along the solid sidewalls of the brief tunnel, and they rotate colors every few seconds. On the inner walls next to the traffic, are a series of panels with lights behind them. The panels contain translucent enlargements of photos taken years ago.. and feature some well known "hallmark" places in and around the city; such as Memorial Hospital, the Kimo Theatre, etc.

Really really cool. Well worth a leisurely walk through....
