Caldecott Tunnel bores still closed after blown transformer

The mechanical issue was caused by a string of powerful storms that slammed into the Bay Area this week.

This is for @TheEddieShow who had an unfortunate and downright awful experience of photographing a train recently. When I saw his last photo of the train I commented that it reminded me of The Polar Express by Chris Van Allsburg. I happened to see it in a sale books bin at a franchise grocery near home. Not optimal for a good photo, but I took it anyway to share such a wonderful children’s book by an incredible artist. And there inside the book I thought too of the wonderful photography by Eddie.

"Click, Clack, Moo: Cows That Type" library pick by a familial-spawnling. Delightfully surprised it wasn't just a cute animal story but a lesson in collective action & striking for better working / living conditions: No Milk until Electric Blankets; the barn is cold. It's also a Caldecott Honor Medal recipient
