It's not every day that Bluffton's railroad crossings stop traffic when an actual truck passes through town. The railroad's track maintainence car cruised through Bluffton last week and the Icon captured the trip.
We predict severall things:
• it will eventually be in a high school yearbook when Bracyn is a senior.
• it will also be on a high school graduation invitation.
• chances are good it might even appear in a wedding photo display some day, too.
• adding it to Facebook, it will now reach across the globe.

You've probably not heard the joke about the two woodpeckers who walked into a bar. (As far as we know there is no such joke.)
But, now you can say that you've watched the photos of two hairy woodpeckers who landed on the Icon's suet bird feeder moments apart.
There's no such thing as sharing in this case. It was sort of territorial where winner takes all. The photos tell the story best.
Simply scroll down to watch. This episode occurs daily at the same suet bar. A couple squirrels, a sparrow and nuthatch tried mediate, but don't mess with hairy woodpeckers.
Stanley Scott and Nancy Banman had a "game signing" event Saturday at Book ReViews.
The Bluffton couple has developed a game they call "Talk in a Box." It can be played by from two to eight players.
According to the game creators, Talk in a Box makes good coffee shop talk, picnic talk, pillow talk, road trip talk, inter-generational talk, table talk, retreat talk, and talk just about anywhere people come together.
Many Icon viewers report green buds appearing in their yards and gardens. Here's an example of the early risers. Dennis Morrison took this photo on Feb. 3 from his rural homestead.
