What does a quintet of steam whistles sound like blown at the same time? I found out today on the Redwood Valley Railway!

Anonymous asked: Can I ask a modified #3? Forget who you call, what do you do about the fire? Start frantically searching for a parachute? Grab the fire extinguisher? Sit quietly as a flight attendant deals with the fire? Or whip out a pokeball, and call on squirtle to handle it?

3. You are on a flight from Honolulu to Chicago non-stop. There is a fire in the back of the plane. You have enough time to make ONE phone call. Who do you call? What do you tell them?

I’d probably call my parents and tell them that I love them. And then I’d tell them to pass that message along to my Brother, my extend family, and my friends.

Now to answer your modified question… I’d probably go the Pokémon route and call out Squirtle or Tododile to put out the fire.
But if I didn’t have my Pokéballs, I’d probably grab the fire extinguisher and start to battle the flames. Because that seems like the right thing to do.

Let’s see…

2. Think of the last time you were REALLY angry. WHY were you angry? Do you still feel the same way?

It’s been a long, long time since I’ve been really angry. I don’t even remember why. I think it must have been when I last played LoZ: Majora’s Mask in the Stone Tower Temple. I need to play Majora’s Mask again…

13.When was the last time you told someone HONESTLY how you felt regardless of how difficult it was for you to say? Who was it? What did you have to tell the person?

It was probably around last August when I got back together with my Ex. You can use your imagination there….
Or it may have been something in one of the hand-written letters I gave her back when we were together.

But then again, I have shit memory. This just stands out more than other stuff.

Old, dilapidated buildings are usually an unsightly scene. In this case, however, miniature broken down houses are appreciated for being wonderful works of art. The series itself is based on photographs of abandoned structures neglected by man and destroyed by the weather. The photographs were taken by an amateur photographer from North Dakota, Ofra Lapid. They were then used to create small scale models.
