Seems like the frog only sings when the conditions are right. Thankfully,
that hasn't been every night.
The photo in my head for the foreman just popped up when I saw him there -
I'm not experienced enough to process all of the photo math involved to get
that exact image on such short notice. I'll live with what I got.
They moved in to the other end of the block last week, and then across the
tracks this morning (I had to go to work, so I didn't get to see it move).
NIPSCO temporarily took down some power lines, and the Canadian National
removed the crossing signals to make room for it. They also suspended all
rail traffic through Valpo today until it was safely across the tracks and
onto school property.
