Stayed Friday night in Walnut Ridge, AR and woke up to the first beauty slamming across the diamond in Hoxie! So I raced West to Portia and got some massive K5LLA action! After that I headed back East (Track South) to Jonesboro just as a SB grain was arriving on the Northside of town. As I raced to the Southside, I noticed the local with a green caboose and loco!!! My original plan all day was to sit in Turrell at River Jct. and watch the BNSF action on the River and Thayer South Subs....but with a major lack of action and my scanner blowing up with Memphis Area traffic, I headed towards Kentucky Street...to find nothing! lol! Just as I was about to give up they started moving again. I got a few shots on the Westside of Memphis, including a transfer from NS coming off of BNSF track onto the CN Memphis Sub towards Johnston!, then the CSX dispatcher started blowing up for the LA Main. I missed the first 2 CN SB's but got there in time to see a CSX freight heading to Johnston, a CSX freight leaving UP Sargent heading to Bruceton via Aulon (that is the Ex- NC&StL Cordova Branch in the foreground of that shot!), and finally the hotshot CN intermodal heading North out of Memphis! Hope y'all enjoy!!!!

This is the traffic back up in West Memphis, Ar just after the police officers were shot and before the bad guys were located at Walmart and shot. The shootout had happened just behind me about a mile just a few minutes before they shut down the bridges.
READ MORE HERE: tinyurl.com WEST MEMPHIS, AR -- Investigators say the Kanes shot and killed West Memphis Police Officers Brandon Paudert and Bill Evans during a traffic stop along I-40 on Thursday, May 20, 2010. Crittenden County Sheriff Richard Busby and his Chief Deputy WA Wren were also injured in a shootout that followed in the West Memphis Walmart parking lot, ending with both suspects shot to death. Kane and his son, by all accounts, didn't trust the US Government. They didn't respect it, didn't think the laws that apply to the citizens in this country applied to them. They had particular beliefs and habits, like thinking they didn't need driver's licenses. When those beliefs came into conflict with Officers Paudert and Evans, it was, according to hate group experts and friends of the Kanes, the perfect storm. LINK: www.myeyewitnessnews.com

Time Lapse of Memphis over a 30 minute time frame.
MEMPHIS, Tenn. - Bright white lights and strange, triangular shaped objects, Tennesseans are reporting some unusual things overhead. Don't expect that to stop anytime soon, a local group that investigates UFO close encounters says sightings are on the rise. For decades millions of people have reported seeing UFO's. A recent poll shows one in 12 Americans have seen a mysterious object in the sky, and that a third of adults believe it's likely aliens have visited earth. While some say the increase in volume of reports in Tennessee are enough to make any investigator sit up and take notice, others say it's all in their heads. The skies over Tennessee have been busy lately, but some say, it's not your typical air traffic. A commercial airline pilot from Memphis shows us where he spotted a UFO. He pointed out the UFO's path, saying, "It started here, passed over about this speed and leveled out down there." This pilot, who doesn't want to be identified for fear he'll lose his job, says he saw a UFO in the sky over Cordova around 9:45pm on November 24, 2009. "[It was] absolutely not an airplane, not an airship, this object speed it was flying at, the shape there is nothing in the air even similar in the least bit to what I saw," the pilot claimed. The pilot, who has more than 25 years experience, said the black triangle he saw was flying as fast as 1000 miles per hour, but was completely silent. He said it looked exactly like YouTube video of what an estimated 13000 saw flying ...

A relaxing night of wine drinkin and playing improv tunes on our patio at the old house in Memphis. Gorgeous Gabby is the recorder of the video, Kristen is next to her lookin cute as can be, Marcella is playing guitar, harmonica and singing, and Emily is also playing guitar and singing on the right. We improv about random ideas like asking "what you're running from?" waiting on things, hearing your voice in the traffic, crying, smiling, and towards the end start to go into Oingo Boingo's "Violent Love" but is sadly cut off before it gets to the climax of the song. some faint lyrics are: I hear my voice in the traffic oh, oh whoa uh oh oh what are you waiting on? what are you runnin from?

Just an ordinary trucker on an ordinary run, but wearing a paperbag on his head!
A Shelby County sheriff's deputy was given a one-day suspension today for using poor judgment when he delayed a man for expired tags while taking his mother to the hospital. Deputy Micah McNinch, who has been with the department since 2006, "made a mistake in judgment" during the March 12 stop of Wayne Ables at Wolfchase Galleria, Sheriff Mark Luttrell said. Ables was trying to get his 83-year-old mother, Vernice Ables, to St. Francis Hospital-Bartlett when he was stopped in the early morning hours. Vernice Ables was gasping for air in the back seat of her son's car because of a lung condition when the deputy stopped them for the expired tags. The hospital was less than a mile away, and Wayne Ables could see the top of the medical building from where he was stopped. Instead of providing an escort for Ables or following him to the hospital and dealing with the ticket there, McNinch asked for Ables' license and proof of insurance. He called for an ambulance at the scene. The sheriff said in the videotape, the Ables family asks for an ambulance, and McNinch asks them if they want him to call an ambulance.
CAUTION #21 Brad Graham (#37) and Dario Franchitti (#42) get together in traffic and spin. Colin Braun (#16) and Richard Johns (#25) also get nose damage as they accordion together trying to miss the spinning cars. Franchitti and Jason Leffler (#38) get together after the restart, knocking Franchitti's left front tire flat. He pits under green for repairs. CAUTION #22 Tim McCreadie (#21) spins in turn three.
Carl Edwards (#60) is making a slow progress through traffic. Richard Johns (#25) causes congestion in the middle of the field as he, Colin Braun (#16) and Brad Coleman (#18) get together off of turn four, no caution. Coleman hits the wall in turn one after his tire goes flat from the contact. CAUTION #17 Coleman is throwing up sparks all the way down the backstretch after his crash.
Replays of Bryan Clausson's spin (#41) shows he was in a traffic jam and got spun by Jamie McMurray (#26). Ron Young (#71) did not pit under caution and takes over the lead, which David Reutimann (#99) quickly retook after the restart. CAUTION #4 Robert Richardson Jr. (#28) dumps Kyle Krisiloff (#14) on the backstretch in front of the whole field. No one else would get collected in the accident. Richardson gets held for a two-lap penalty. Reutimann leads the restart. CAUTION #5 Young spins out of second place after Brad Coleman (#18) bumps him in turn four.
