The recent earthquake got me thinking about the Summerville light ghost story that originated right here on Sheep Island Road, and I found this video that I hadn't seen before. I think I like the headless train conductor version better... www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNlh...

MLK was only 39 when he was killed. Growing up, I thought that was old. But I’m 43 now and I’m stunned by the burden he shouldered at such a young age. I’m also a lot more aware of how hard it is, at any age, to carry the hopes and dreams of an oppressed people on your shoulders, as so many do.

FACT OF THE DAY. 17 January 1967. An article in the Daily Mail reported there were 4,000 holes in the roads of Blackburn, Lancashire. Beatle John Lennon used the article as the inspiration for lines in the classic song A Day in The Life on the Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band album.
