San, that wouldn't be ol' Ralph Steadman, illustrator of our belated H.S. Thompson, would it? Yowza,looks like they found Neil's stash again.
B&O Mountain - that card was part of a 15-piece set done for the 1927 Fair of the Iron Horse - it's a double length card, one of four in that set. At the time of the release, it and the Pacific were the two newest engines on the B&O property. I'm a little partial myself to the T-classes Mountains they picked up from ...guess who, the B&M... in the late 40s.
Lots of postcards of Crawford Notch, I've got a least a dozen different views here. The Mountaineer card is tough; I bought a fairly large collection to get that and one other card. The one I don't have but want is a view of a large, smoke-belching B&M articulated passing through the gap. Oh, well, one of these days one will turn up.
Anyway, San, you might want to chase that stuff with something milder...like a little Yukon Jack. That Daisy can make a mean bear head stew...

The Charleston Gazette
Culminating 3-year undercover "Operation SOUP" (Special Operation to Uncover Poaching), federal marshals seized 203 bear gall bladders and 110 frozen bear paws and arrested 25 people in a sweep through Virginia and West Virginia. The gall bladders are valued at $15K in the U.S. and at over $3 million outside the U.S. The bear paws are used to make bear paw soup--where one bowl of this delicacy will sell for hundreds of dollars. I actually have a recipe from a cookbook my mother brought me from China nearly 20 years ago. The key is removing the bear's "rammish smell."

That's hrj (=highrailjon) in the chopper.
In the 2005 remake of the story, after a horrifying locomotive accident in the Gobi desert, hrj reconstructs a diecast 1/5 scale Niagara from the wreckage, manufactures his own track, and transports a convent of nuns, orphans, and several sexually ambiguous members of the British parlament to safety. The film is a study in tension as hrj reels from one Idaho Gold (TM) induced hangover to another during the reconstruction, lusts after Sister Superior, and dodges the overtures of the MPs while keeping the orphans fed on bear meat.
