Yes!!

Yes??

Yes!!!

So fascinating about the word train!

And now I must think about tracking down the visionary essence of orange in the supermarket. With added neon flicker, and peculiar realisations beside the bargain DVD shelves. Sausage and egg butties now serving in the café, where writers write their masterpieces and contemplate shiny things.

What?


This conversation thread has become a spectacular eclectic train of thought!

Are we on a one way ticket, Mister D? This is all your fault. .

Oh no!

Actually, quite fine. Who needs to look back. Go, train, go.

train of thought

station announcer - The train standing on platform 4, should be on the bloody railway lines

Just another two thoughts on trains;

Back in the late '50's, early '60s this was a major US Television show http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wagon_Train I used the Wiki link only because they are not trying to sell cds

The term is also used, at least around here, used to describe several storms that follow a line established by a stationary front. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Training_(meteorology) The best link I could find for this one is also a Wiki

Isaiah 6:1:

'In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.'

The word translated 'train' here is 'shul'. (shin+vav+lamed) It means the hem or skirt of a robe. (Like the 'train' on an old-fashioned bridal gown or a coronation robe.)

Now, getting *there* from 'Wagon Train' also requires some odd thinking, but hey...

I don't know if it qualifies as a train of thought but I had a strange dream the other night. I was one of a group of people who were in a house waiting for the end of the world. Someone told me to bring the cats in, though I don't know why. Something like a wave crashed over us, then another but, after a moment, it quietened down and we were still there.

Sounds hopeful to me.

And taking the cats in sounds like a good idea if the world is ending...

Pints and salted peanuts for me, thank you very much

in advance it could have been CATastrophic
