I used to be able to hear the trains whistles coming thru town all the way from over here.

 not much anymore, even wrote that story, wondering today if residents kabashed that.  I wrote a story about this.

I grew up right by the tracks in this town, in apartments.

saw the headline in news, bringing rail here to the Quad Cities, lots of noise.

my parents catch the train or such out of Aurora, I think, to Chicago.

well, it's all Chicago when you get that far.

ha, this may or may not have been before surveillance nation?

Don't it make my brown eyes, blue

What is the genetic mutation "Originally, we all had brown eyes," said Professor Hans Eiberg from the Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine. "But a genetic mutation affecting the OCA2 gene in our chromosomes resulted in the creation of a "switch," which literally "turned off" the ability to produce brown eyes." The OCA2 gene codes for the so-called P protein, which is involved in the production of melanin, the pigment that gives colour to our hair, eyes and skin. The "switch," which is located in the gene adjacent to OCA2 does not, however, turn off the gene entirely, but rather limits its action to reducing the production of melanin in the iris -- effectively "diluting" brown eyes to blue. The switch's effect on OCA2 is very specific therefore. If the OCA2 gene had been completely destroyed or turned off, human beings would be without melanin in their hair, eyes or skin colour -- a condition known as  albinism...
