Printable Railroad Crossing Sign

This is what I think of when I think of the letter X.



I like rail roads and I like to ride my bike on abandon rail roads. Which there currently is a big fight over.

    Now why is there a fight about the old railroad area? It seems a perfect place to ride your bike. Railroad crossings are fun especially when having the time and can wait to see all the cars especially the caboose

      Well these are abandoned railroads on lands that the land owners feel entitled to and I guess they don't want people to ride their bikes on their property. Maybe, I don't know.

    You did great with X, Joseph. That was an interesting article about railbanking. I think as long as people are respectful riding their bikes through property like this and don't leave a mess, they should be allowed to, but that's just my humble opinon. We're almost done!

    This is both a clever and informative post for "X". I can understand the land owners feeling that way. They already gave up the land to the trains, it would be difficult to allow people to roam around on their property. People tend to not follow rules and stay on trails, too.

      Yes, but they could build a fence! I just support it because there are usually not that many places to ride your bike in big cities and I think using the abandoned railways would be a good idea. Just my thought! : )

Toy Cars And a New Computer!

Look at all of my toy cars! I was just organizing them before I put them into a different box, but I had to move them a little early to make some roof for my new computer! So back into the box they went! I've always wanted to arrange my toy cars like this since I was a kid, when I would see them arranged like this in toy car collector magazines and books, I thought it looked pretty cool. Anyway I had to get a new computer because my laptop's screen finally went out and it was becoming slow. It would sometimes take couple of minutes to load a webpage, so I knew I had to get a new computer. I got a Lenovo from Microcenter. It's refurbished, but it looks and works like new. Microcenter also gives you a keyboard and mouse, but it doesn't come with a monitor unless you want one, but it will cost you  a little extra. The whole computer with keyboard and mouse cost a hundred dollars with thirty dollar shipping, very cheap and works better than my laptop.  The rea...

Shoes!

Going to join a new meme today called Two Shoes Tuesday from Josie Two Shoes! How it works is each week Josie writes a one word prompt where you can then share a short story, poem, essay, thought, or, photo relating to that word. We'll since today's topic is about shoes...... These are my current ones! They are just regular tennis shoes that my dad got me last Christmas! As far as shoes go I usually like to get running shoes, like the ones pictured below..... These are my old shoes. I've had them since late 2007. I still use them, just not as often. Only when I have to get into the mud or, dirt. Or, when I feel like running, since they are running shoes! The only thing that I don't like about running shoes is that I slip easily when I walk on wet tiles. My new ones pictured above have a flat surface so, I don't slip as easily.... I like my new shoes better but, I sometimes miss my old running shoes! I like to run so, running shoes have always been my choice...
