Flint - As a kid, Jim McKay was the man.  I actually got to meet him while on patrol. There were two thoroughbred training farms in my post area, and he had called in a suspicious condition. Also, Johnny U lived in my sector (as did a lot of older retired Colts), and I would see him once a week walking to the post office.

You're not kidding Fife!  ABC owned  the Olympics and no-ones done it as well since they gave it up.  Not that the coverage hasn't been decent at times, but the magic just isn't there anymore.

Hi there Boys and Girl,

 Well it has just been winter here so I have been playing in the snow with the Gator and keeping in. I did run the trains the night before last for about an hour just to do it.

Congrats Flintlock on 45. We will be at 40 this Oct. Wink I have no idea where the time went.

Northwoods, Keep on keeping on friend!

Same thing wrong with the Olympics as with it seems it is with everything the last few years even many forums. Politics of sorts, be it the whole world or single nations. Sickness or health. Everyone has picked a side and no one knows where the middle is. What ever happened to a little compromise?  SoapBox  Zip it!

Best get as Banks would say.
