Went to a festival at the local park. Enjoyed the festivities, food and crafts. Bought a few things to give as gifts to my neighbors perhaps.
Talked to a few there and learned of a train - car collision that killed three people yesterday. Only about two miles from our home. The car went over the train tunnel that most use. Instead of going under the tracks, they went directly onto the tracks.
Many over sized vehicles use this route, since they cannot fit inside the tunnel. Must have not been paying attention. Not sure the details The only thing we all know is there was more than one family involved. Such a tragedy. Thoughts are with them.
We all feel this train tunnel should be shut down. And there are no signals or lights if you go above the tunnel, as this car did. Very dangerous obviously.
Snapped this Red Admiral butterfly while out in my yard today. He was enjoying the last of the purple blooms on my Black Knight butterfly bush.
Photo is mine.

@CarolDM They should do it soon before some other accident happens. This tragic accident should make them take a quick step.
