Hey there,

Thanks for the pics. I like your "Redneck Pet Carrier". Perfect place to keep a cat. My kids would love to ride the Thomas Train. Unfortunately I don't believe it ever comes up to The Great White North. Thanks for sharing. Later eh...Brian.

That pet carrier looked interesting; has anyone got a design for an Irish dog carrier by any chance?

Nice grandson.           SoapBox [soapbox]Excuse me for one moment......         ......The accursid one, he11 on wheels run, flee for your lives!!!!!!!      Thank you. I work for (shutter) "day out with thomas" when it comes to Snoqualmie in the summer, it seems nice untill you look behind the screens to see people(the workers) doing there best to not mutilate the STUPID people. Ways to identify yourselves:

---You invelop yourself in conversation W/ a freind while your child/ren run twords thomas to give him a hug as the train pulls in, and you ignore it.

---You allow you and your children to climb to the roofs of railroad equipment and when WE get them down YOU yell at us "to not raise there child."

---When the above happons and we ask "Would you let them climb a ladder to your roof?" you respond No then we ask "then why do you let them do it here?" then you get a frustrated look and mach off and leave.

---When you pull up to the front gate and ask "where do we park?"

---when you let your children crawl under the station so I have to get them out.

---When you ask where is the bathroom when there is a sign bigger than an oil drum answering your very wuestion.

---Etc.

The point is when you are objects that move and are a minnium of 15 tons, watch your chuildren.

Sorry had to vent. Have a nice day!Smile [:)]Big Smile [:D]

And that, S&G, is what we call "natural selection".  Works like a charm.Blindfold [X-)]
