I just saw video of the accident on the Nightly News. It showed that Williams entered the intersection on a green light and was delayed by a car that pulled in front of her after which the light changed and she was hit by the other car which then had a green light. As I said, although the driver had a green light, the intersection had not yet cleared of traffic so she did not yet have the right of way. They've started legal proceedings already but I don't think this lawsuit will go anywhere.
It is interesting now that a video has surfaced how news gets fabricated. I originally read the news article on a Florida news site where it stated that She changed lanes in front of the car that hit hers. I'm going to quit reading or listening to the news and just start making my own up .
Seriously though, It is a shame that journalism is losing credibility. It used to be an honored profession.

It was an unfortunate accident and I'm sure she was just trying to get out of the intersection. The couple that hit her were elderly.

I do believe that the Christian Bible contains the same thing. Crusades, witch trials, Native Americans killed if they didn't convert, children taken from them and had Christianity beaten into them, Black slaves whipped to death,. I could go on but you get the idea...I hope.
You should actually read it before you attempt to quote it along with the Koran or any other book on various religions. But then ignorance is bliss. Right?

Thank you Blake for responding. I have had this tree for 4-5 years and never knew the name for it until today. Now I'm getting lots of info. This site is an amazing source of information. I only have 3 blooms so far. For some reason, everything on the west side of my house only lives a short time (5-6 years) so I may not have this one into old age (mine or the tree)
Here is a picture of a fairly young one in full bloom. When the leaves come out it drops the blooms which leaves a nut like pod that starts the cycle all over again.
This one gets fertilizer from our hay meadow so I'm sure that adds to the amount of blooms and rapid growth.
The leaves get really big and I understand that in the right climate they can used as an umbrella if caught in a sudden rain.

I sure hope mine gets some more blooms like the ones on your link. I can't figure out how it got here on my property (long ways from China) At least it isn't Kudzu.
Speaking of retentive memory for useless info, I got 14 out of 14 right on a Brain Candy quiz for sayings related to TV commercials.

Speaking of Kudzu, These trees will take over a large area pretty fast so watch for volunteers coming up and keep them manageable.
A nightmare would be a forest of these covered in Kudzu.

Thank you, BB4A. You nailed it. No wonder I couldn't find it; I was looking under native species.
We have a couple of dozen of those on our property and they are beautiful when in full bloom but messy when the blooms start to drop.
They are very fast growing, with shallow roots. The wood is soft and has been used as pulp wood.

Try going to https://www.friendsofbnsf.com It is free to join and you will get certain benefits along with a place to post your pictures. This site is owned by BNSF and if I remember correctly it will allow you to compete in certain photo events. I would not post your last picture of the DPU even though the train was going away it is still trespassing and will be frowned upon by the powers that be. (It is a good photo)

Great photos.
BNSF is always looking for calendar worthy photos and these certainly fit the need. BNSF power and BNSF hoppers should meet their specs. Check their web site.

Here is a great photo of The 844 by Michael Ellis, One of my favorite Train photographers.
This was captured on a Texas excursion just a couple of years ago.

Two locks are common on gates where a power or utility company may need access to meters or inspections.
