He's known for being on time everywhere he goes. No matter the weather, and going along at dangerously high speeds, he ends up at each destination exactly on time. Does this story sound familiar to you? If it does, well... that's because it's actually the story of Casey Jones; he's known as the 'on time' railroad engineer, and that's his picture above, and no, I didn't take it. He's no longer with us, he passed on many years ago due to his final train ride ending in tragedy. You can read more about his story here and here. So I guess this is where I put... April Fools! um, yeah...
Hey, I try every year, and when I saw how similar Michael's brother looks to Casey Jones, I couldn't resist using that for my April Fools' Day post. I'm running out of ideas, people. Of course, it would probably help if y'all knew what David looked like, of which some of you do, but most probably do not. There is a pic of him below, but that doesn't help with the April Fools part of this post since it comes a little late in the post, and you'll soon see that it's not of the best quality anyway. Maybe I should have given this post a little more thought? Anyhoo...
Here's another picture of Casey Jones... it doesn't look as similar to David as the above picture does, but it does still resemble him a bit. Michael kinda looks like him too. I wonder if they're related in some way... hmmm... Geneology, here I come... or not.
Here's a picture I took last year on David's birthday. Michael, his brother David, their dad (my father-in-law), David's friend, and Caitie and I went over to Michael and David's uncle's house (their dad's brother) in our (more like michael's due to it being his pet project) Cadillac (bailey stayed with her grandma at her uncle's house). I decided to take a quick pic of the group. It's lousy quality due to my not using flash, so I decided to use sepia and make it look a bit vintage with the hopes it would look a little better and add to the vintage style of this post. David is the one in the middle. The resemblance to Casey Jones is more when David was younger and a bit thinner. (do ya like all my parenthesis in this paragraph? and here's yet another one for ya. um, yeah...)
