I know what to expect from today after checking my horoscope:

"Your energy is depleted. Coffee won't help. You need time to recharge."

How true...Hmm, weapons qualification? I think I could really get into that. Have fun Jon. We'll miss you.

Amalie, I have a fantasy about working for myself too, but it's illegal in most states.

Yeah I know...I do it by living in a combination of a state of Intoxication, state of Denial, and state of Ignorant Bliss! Seriously, it took a good decade to get enough solid contacts in my field to be able go it alone.

Gee, just add Oxymoronic Transmortification to that list and you have "IDIOT." Yep, that works for me!

Hey, didn't Jackson Browne used to sing about being "a happy idiot and struggle for the legal tender?" That's what I do, but I seem to be struggling more for a 12-wheel "tender" behind something that can stack-talk like a cannon blast...hahaha

San, you following this crazy sh*t in Atlanta this morning? Guy goes into court for a hearing, grabs a gun from a balliff, handcuffs and then EXECUTES the judge and two other people via head-shot in front of the whole courtroom, then highjacks multiple cars and is still at large. Mannnn....

I just heard about it on the news. As far as I know, a judge, court reporter, and sheriff. I am sure none of them knew this would be the day that they departed. I am so sorry for the victims and their families. The suspect sounds like a violent predator. I hope they nail him before he can do more.

Ive been following it over on Free Republic for the last hour, where the good 'ol boys are all tuned to the police scanners all around Atlanta and posting the material in real time. Looks like a big mess - schools in lock-down, SWAT, etc.

Hey, bud. Man, are we snowed in up here. Really white outside.

They called for a little last night - didn't get much, but not much mercury showing on the thermometer this morning, either. Two days until I head for Florida, hopefully in a Dodge Magnum wagon. Tramp, did you get the email I sent you on the B&O Mountians...

Tramp · Postby **Tramp** » Sat Mar 12, 2005 9:25 am

Amalie, I responded. Did you get mine?

amalie · Postby **amalie** » Sat Mar 12, 2005 9:58 am

Got it that time. How do the brass engines pull related to the high-end diecast versions?

I've run 12-car passenger trains, 35-car freights, never had a problem.
