It’s Diwali 2008, and the candles are burning brightly.
My partner and I decided to burn 5 based on a combination of ages.

Is she ready for winter or what?
This pretty actress/model was collecting greeting & signatures on huge cards that will be sent to the troops. She will be going on tour with the USO to entertain soldiers in Iraq soon.

Nothing says salvation more than a ten foot high red neon cross on top of a church. I’ve seen two of them on this ride so far.
There’s 10 people in this subway car. Four are talking on cell phones, One is sipping coffee, another yawning loudly and I’m blogging.
The train is approaching Manhattan – the lights against the night sky never fail to uplift me.
I’ve been posting so many pics lately; when I get home I’m writing a big catch up post. For now this mobile post will do.
The train has submerged. All the signal is gone. The phone users are all switching to handheld games and Ipods to entertain as we rumble thrrough dark tunnels.
My phones have built in music players, but I’ve never used them.
The girl to my right has a faraway look in her eyes. The Ipods songs are taking her to a place she wants to be.
Soon this train will take me where I want to be – home.
Caio for now.
