The Grainy Train

As H pointed out, our camera is probably the same as the one they use to photograph UFO's and bigfeet and such. It's very blurry, and grainy, plus my hand is quite shaky.

Anyway, I quickly produced this fun video of our new train, set up and running. We think this will be our traditional Thanksgiving thru January 6th decoration.



Be sure to note that there is a snake on this train.

And the cats are watching the train intensely, probably wondering what the hell it is.



For dinner I am making a main-course of stuffing with ground chicken, walnuts, cranberries, mushrooms and secret herbs and spices. There will also be green bean casserole, and mashed spuds. Never got around to making dessert. Oops. Hope H and Sara don't mind.

Oh, I bet! I'm guessing a train probably triggers their hunting instinct. Then there's also the instinct where they have to check out anything that you bring into your home/their territory. Whenever you brought anything home, Smokey would have to sniff it over, and okay it.

We let them sniff the train as we assembled it. Still, once it started moving on its own--they were quite entranced.

Yay!

I'm thouroughly amused that you find the train pleasing, and pleased that you find it amusing. I can only view it as a silent film here at the library--I look forward to hearing the full butchered-song version Monday at work.

Turns out, iMovie has a train sound effect, so it's jammed in the middle of the song.

Yeah, they are pretty good.
