Digging around

I was digging around in my back yard and found a tricycle.
Awesome I thought, so I kept digging wondering what else I may find.


 
Then I came upon a bicycle!  How cool was that?
What else could there be?

 
My next find was this motorcycle and a pattern began to present itself.
 
 
Over a little to the left I found this car and it was in fair shape too.
 
 
Not long after that, I uncovered this old truck!
 

 
and the  last thing I found today was this outstanding example of a semi.
 
 
When you line them all up like this, the evidence is clear: 
 
Semi trucks evolved from tricycles!
 
Any free thinker can see it. 
They all have wheels,
they're all made of the same materials,
they're all facing the same way.
What could be more clear?
 
Science proves it too.  Here's another example.
 
 
 
Didn't the artist who drew all this do a wonderful job of making this
all look so good?  He picked very nice colors, some with strips some without,
and they're all facing the same way!
 
Isn't science great?
 


I couldn't look away!

A couple of times in the last month, I have been detoured on my way in to work.
I travel a dark winding and lonely road, the only way, and with few options for turn offs.
Last moth is was a house fire, and as I was finding my way to work I could smell see and smell the smoke a couple of miles away.
 
Yesterday morning I came upon another cop sideways in the road.  Yesterday was moonless and out there where we live, a moonless night is a pitch black night.  It was clear that I had to detour again and I figured it may be another house on fire. 
 
The place where I was stopped didn't have an option that was known to me so I had to consult the map on my phone.  I'm so glad I had a map because my truck was on empty, and fooling around trying to find a way into Bloomington may have caused my to run out of gas.
 
Long story short, it was a train derailment.  Indiana 45 follows right along side of RxR tracks either to one side or the other the whole way to work.  the derailment happened to be at a spot right next to the road.
 
 
 
I stopped in the afternoon for pictures but of course, didn't get right up in the middle of it.
So, this angle was all I could get.

 
I'd never seen a train wreck before this.
(A train wreck in the literal since)

 
These guys were fiddling with heavy equipment, flipping cars that had coal in them.

 
Tore it up pretty good.

 
I thought just briefly, perhaps I could use my son-in-laws name as leverage to gain a little access, since he now works for the RxR in Washington, but I thought better of it and refrained.



Not much of a story really,  Just a train wreck.
 
 
I'm glad no one was hurt, and no personal property was lost.

 
Ok, what next?
