Twitter has been known for its growing pains over the past year. It goes down quite a bit

I noticed that. 

Honestly its amazing the site is still around. If you noticed the site has no ads or business model. They rely on donations I think for everything.

They call that a caboose. Nothing unusual about those....

I know about the caboose but thats the only time that I've seen one on a train. (Other trains mainly had End-of-Train Devices.)

Yea ive seen a few in my area. They are a bit rare

Is anyone else noticing how frequently that "Tomorrow's Promise" by Chris Geith is being played on the local forecast these past several hours?  It seems to be really overplayed lately.

I wish TWC would play every song equally.

I joined in 07 but nobody was hardly on it at the time. Now that TWC and some of you guys are on it makes it fun.

From those mentioned Weather You Can Always Turn To was my favorite.  I know its not early enough to be in this category but Live By It is my personal fav from all time.

Humans certainly cant be helping our planet but I highly doubt they are the direct and only cause. Its a nice gimmick companies are using. Have you ever stopped to look at whats in a compact fluorescent light bulb? Its illegal to toss these things in the trash; they must be disposed properly. Imagine if everyone switched to them... Less energy used but more harmful waste left over.  Nuclear power seems to be the answer to many of todays problems. Just saying

It is a "top priority". Word on the AVS forums is likely within a month or two.

Wind gust 49mph at my house up to 60 at other close stations. Coastal flooding that is covering the lower decks of our pier and the waves are hammering them so hard the planks are prying up.  Already had a brief power outage. Big branches coming down too.
