House smells like Thanksgiving with a turkey in the oven. When I asked my mother what sides we were having she said we're not having it tonight. She just had to cook it. What a huge letdown.

First world problems, I know...

Nice catch! I like the sound of American horns. They convey very well the "Get out of my way" message.

Always enjoyed waiting for a train away from the terminus station, watching the trains whiz past.

Funny how different trains have different sounds.

Here the trains have a kind of hissing "sssssssssssssss" sound:

160 kmph is slow by european standards. Here most trains do 180-200 kmph, except the Acela which reaches 225 kmph.

That (Helsinki-Turku) railway line is partly in so poor condition, so you aren't allowed to drive more than 160.

I love 165 mph (230 Kmph) trains zipping past at midnight. We also have a park nearby parallel to the train tracks, and as national train day approaches people host rail fanning parties .

Just done a bit of trainspotting myself actually, down at the Pavilion gardens.
