Light at the end of the Tunnel

Sent personally to the Tunnel Dweller. I'm sure it must be some sort of, well, excellence award

The name "Tunnel Wall" came from a suggestion made by the Tunnel Dweller's eldest son.
Years ago the family men hiked the rails down Questa Grade in San Luis Obispo County, CA. We entered a tunnel right after a passenger train and began hiking through it when, lo and behold, here came a freight right behind the first one. Talk about hugging a wall!
Later on, when choosing an name to replace this blog's original name, "The Squeaky Wheel",  I asked Jeff for suggestions. He sent several, including "The Tunnel Hugger" and that inspired "Tunnel Wall".
The name is a good reminder of the price to be paid for making poor decisions. TD
