His serious aviation habit means he is hardly the best person to lecture others on the environment. But John Travolta went ahead and did it anyway. The 53-year-old actor, a passionate pilot, encouraged his fans to “do their bit” to tackle global warming.

Captured this tonight while I was out running around. The clouds the last couple of days have been really neat, lots of thunderheads mixed with sunshine, then rain, then wind, it’s just wacky! Anyway this is the railroad yard at sixth street, the eastern end of the “bow-tie” area. Soon this will all be different they say. There is a lot of history in this little area, it will be interesting to see how it all unfolds.

Be patient with life, despite its cruelty.
Often it seems careless of our pain,
But just as often brings us hope again.Remember, I wanted happiness for you.
Under every foolish word this still was true.
Be happy, then, without, as you would with me.
In your life many sweet events remain.
Not in anguish, but in joy remember me.By Turlough O’Carolan
Love
Because of you, in gardens of blossoming flowers I ache from the
perfumes of spring.
I have forgotten your face, I no longer remember your hands;
how did your lips feel on mine?
Because of you, I love the white statues drowsing in the parks,
the white statues that have neither voice nor sight.
I have forgotten your voice, your happy voice; I have forgotten
your eyes.
Like a flower to its perfume, I am bound to my vague memory of
you. I live with pain that is like a wound; if you touch me, you will
do me irreparable harm.
Your caresses enfold me, like climbing vines on melancholy walls.
I have forgotten your love, yet I seem to glimpse you in every
window.
Because of you, the heady perfumes of summer pain me; because
of you, I again seek out the signs that precipitate desires: shooting
stars, falling objects.
