At dinner this young women came in for a smoothie on her way to work. Cute hat fun smile I left the table to reflect her in the window of Mountain Oasis International Restaurant
Where the food was superb!
August 13th continues out of Albany after two and a half hours filled with conversation with a couple of college students, literature, arts and politics. Food and drink in Albany’s new station ten years prior the station was little more than a waiting room with candy and soda machines now a couple of stories of waiting space, shops, cafes, news stands, taxi stands. The bar and restaurant where I watched the playoffs and had a good meal now is a couple blocks away. Chugging out of Albany night falls fast. Across the aisle a retired nurse now a knitting artist looks at my work and suggests museums and parks to see in Chicago. The Amtrak community begins to form.

Shapes and shadows in the night
Outlined, glowing by street lights
Some neon some bright
Just shiny shapes,shadows in the night
Train yards, factories quiet for now
No second, third shifts
Lights the inside
Dark shadows of industry
Just shapes in the night

Toledo at dawn August fourteenth coffee with Don who’s leaving the cold gated humanity of New England heading for Oregon. Me in my half window seat a partial view of the heartland. One eye opened one eye closed, on through Indiana a Surrey with a fringe on top. Beige is the color of America from Indiana to Montana [an orange barn] outside the urban areas everything is beige, sand, eggshell, off white whatever it is Middle America in B+W not quite middle gray a bit whiter. A little color in Gary, casinos, neon, billboards embedded between coal, coke and steel mills, some empty none working at full capacity. Still even the air seems beige. Next stop Chicago. enjoy pjc
