Pink Floyd – On The Turning Away Lyrics

On the turning away
From the pale and downtrodden
And the words they say
Which we won't understand

"Don't accept that what's happening
Is just a case of others' suffering
Or you'll find that you're joining in
The turning away"

It's a sin that somehow
Light is changing to shadow
And casting it's shroud
Over all we have known

Unaware how the ranks have grown
Driven on by a heart of stone
We could find that we're all alone
In the dream of the proud

On the wings of the night
As the daytime is stirring
Where the speechless unite
In a silent accord

Using words you will find are strange
And mesmerized as they light the flame
Feel the new wind of change
On the wings of the night

No more turning away
From the weak and the weary
No more turning away
From the coldness inside

Just a world that we all must share
It's not enough just to stand and stare
Is it only a dream that there'll be
No more turning away?

This is getting stupid: Donna Brazile: She Accused Bergdahl's Platoon Of Lying About Desertion.

Sometime ya just wonder about folks..........................................
Are they really that stupid?


She Accused Bergdahl's Platoon Of Lying About Desertion. And This DNC Official is Not Backing Down.

Something to ponder: Eureka! Univision Discovers Cruz Has Latino Support

Interesting.

I found this one while perusing the nets..........................

I am interested to see the reactions at say, MSNBC or CNN on this.................or perhaps not. After all there is way too much spittle flying already.

While I like Ted Cruz, I may throw in with Scott Walker. That man gets results, That matters.

That all being said, the primaries are still quite a ways off.

Thanks go to my friend and shipmate Marlene Lomba-Villalobos.

Milwaukee Railroad Shops is on track for the upcoming year-Sioux City Journal

"The 12-foot long, 1,200-pound vintage diesel locomotive will pull three passenger cars, totaling 36 passengers, on a 1 1/2-mile loop around the facility, according to Matt Merk, executive director. One of the passenger cars will be handicap accessible."

I remember the Milwaukee Road Pacific Extension as a kid. The Milwaukee and the Northern Pacific ran side by side from Garrison Junction to Missoula. The Electric Hiawathas were used.

I had the pleasure to dump ballast on a remnant of the Milwaukee Road in Southeast Montana, Southwest North Dakota and Northwest South Dakota. I love that country!

The HondaJet's Brand-New Engine Is Finally Approved For Flight

"Honda Aircraft recently debuted their first production HondaJet, and the over-the-wing aircraft design is anticipated to revolutionize the light jet market. The engines are also new and so is the company created specifically to build them. Honda Aero is the first new company approved to build jet engines in 23 years."
Yeah................Honda is building small biz jets. It is a unique but not the first to have the engines over the wing..That distinction goes to the VFW-Fokker 614.

Miller High Life Delivery Man Windell Middlebrooks Dead at 36

I saw this while doing my usual Sunday Surfing.....................Sad news at such a
young age. I lost an Uncle to a heart attack when he was 36.
I loved the Miller High Life Commercials he made and The Suite Life On Deck. He was a really funny guy.
