I was fortunate enough
to be on the beach in St. Augustine on the day that David completed his trip! He introduced himself to me, told me about his trip, and I requested the honor of taking the picture of his journey's end. It was such a pleasure to meet such a charming and interesting man. Contratulations, David!!

fellow southern tourer
hello David, I'm a fellow Brit tourer riding the southern tier. I set off a week after you and have heard your name mentioned in plenty of campsites, motels and stores since! I couldn't help searching out your blog and it turns out we must be pretty close. I'm in Madison tonight (4th dec) and planning on st. augustine in four or five days. If your'e still around and fancy a few beers at the end or along the rest of the way drop me a line. I could do with them now. Blog and wotnot here.... www.malcolmrussell.com All the best with the trip, Malcolm

GO EELS!!!GO
Helo Sir. You don’t know me but I’m a member of the Augustine Eels squirt team and coach Smith said I was to tell you that we are in the Florida Augustine under 14’s girls regional hockey final at the time of you finishing your big journey. I hope you raised a lot of money because coach Smith said that if we could follow your example we would have the new showering cabin in no time! Coach Smith says the improvement of our play is undeniable and our energy is awesome! The Eels will face A teams during the second half of the season, which begins Dec. 8th. We are all looking forward to the rest of the season, with great excitement. GO EELS!!!! if you want we can send you some pics of the team as coach has hundreds . I hope you have really enjoyed my home state and I’m sure we can send you off with a real high if you come and watch us play. I better go now as coach says I am hurting his knee so, so long and good luck. Ps what’s all the comments about trains and hovercraft sauce?

Ode to a Train Driver
A gentle train like a spark of light, Illuminates my soul, And as each engine goes deeper, It's eels that makes me whole. There is no train and no car space, Your eels cannot fill, And if the world starts causing waves, It's your hovercraft that makes them still. And yes you always speak to me, In sweet honesty and truth, Your caring heart keeps out the rain, Unlike your tent ya poof. So thank you Elvees for being there, For supporting me without a tear, I'll do the same for you you know, My beautiful darling engineer.

Hello from Texas
Hey David...I have been reading your blogs...sounds like you have been having quite the adventure. You actually passed thorugh a couple of areas where I have relatives and I am sorry that I did not realize you were going through those towns or I would have given you some names and numbers....You are getting close to finishing David's Big Adventure....stay safe.

We know a song about that
to be sung in the key of G ..... Clickity, clackity, clickity clack! The train speeds over the railroad track. It rolls and rattles and screeches its song And pulls and jiggles its freight cars along. Clickity, clackity, clickity, clack! The engine in front is big and black. The cars are filled with lots of eels And hovercraft sauce for healthy meals. Clickity, clackity, clickity, clack! The engineer waves, and I wave back. I count the cars as the freight train goes and the whitle blows and blows....and blows!

Freight Train Blues
I got the freight train blues Lordy lordy lordy, I got 'em in the bottom of my eel skin shoes And when the whistle blows, I got to go Oh lordy don't you know it, Looks like I'm never gonna lose the freight train blues

Is this train going to Marrakech
Please forgive me interjecting the obvious fun, Ivor and his boy friend are having, but at the invitation of mutual good friends Gabe and Maureen. The recent blog comments have been brought to my attention. As a research scientist at the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA. I enjoy more than a passing interest in the species "Anguilla rostrata" or more commonly known as the common American eel. It is with keen interest that I viewed the long train clip and both endulged my intersest in locomotive and marine diversity. For those who know the patterns of evolution of DNA transposons, tested samples of the American eel (nominally rostrata anguilla) are highly distinct from European. rostrata in mtDNA genotype (distinguishable by 114 restriction endonucleases). Indeed the restriction of the endonucleases are in turn restricted by the pull of the ester bonds and in the case of the Americal eel the pulling of ester transcription is limited to three. See any similarity yet...3 pulling and 114 encoded. This train certainly is full of eels! Currently I will be turning the over eager minds of the undergraduates into the mapping of the hovercraft sauce. Yours MM

The Missing Dollar
It's quite simple really. The hydrostatic absolute deformation potential (ADP) of the valence-band maximum state is one of the most important properties of semiconductors. Yet, it has been calculated in the past only using assumptions that have not been rigorously approved. Because we have already established the velocity of the moving train, we present an approach to calculate the hydrostatic ADP of Si, GaAs, and ZnSe, relative to the eels, using an ab initio all-electron method and lattice harmonic expansions. We show that the calculated ADP is independent of the selection of the reference energy levels of the hovercraft sauce. The calculated ADPs are all positive for the chef, the waitress and the initial bill payment. However, as the p-d coupling increases in the II-VI compounds, the ADP decreases, and we are left with the missing dollar.

I like how you think Ivor
Now tell me this Ivor the Engine! Three men have a meal on a moving train, all three of them have the eel’s which cost $10 each or $30 in total. One of the men is unhappy with his meal as the eel’s were not in a hovercraft sauce. The chef offers to give them $5 back but the waitress only gives them $3 making each meal come to $9. And yet $9 x 3=$27 plus the $2 the waitress kept=$29 where is the missing dollar? The more eel’s you eat the more money you save! Yours Confused Ray Liotta

I expect most of the counties in Alabama will be dry to and some in the 'panhandle' ie western Florida too -- welcome to the South

Cesar, if the wagons are 14m long and there are 114 of them, then given that there are 1.609 kilometres in a mile, the train was 1.008 miles long. Well done! Furthermore, if the clip took 92 seconds for the train to pass, it must have been travelling at approximately 39.13 miles per hour. Now if the train had been full of eels, it might have been a different storey.

It's a pity the travelblog people jumble the order that things happened in. Maybe they will realise this and take the Texan train out of Louisiana and put it back in Texas?!!

long train
I felt curious about this train, so i have count the wagons: 114 wagons, to fit containers of 14 meters long each, ufff, how long in total? a mile, maybe more......

Santa Rita is History
I was born in Santa Rita . The mine was two pits the north and south Chino Pits. I was born in the company hospital located on the South Chino Pits bottom. Santa Rita known to man for ages because once lots of virgin copper was to be had. Now today look for it on a new map it is history!!!
