<p>It´s just a lazy Sunday afternoon. Been watching the idiot box, as Ray calls it. I had the choice between watching "Vertigo" and a history feature on the occasion of Ronald Reagan´s 100th birthday. I opted for Vertigo but SWMBO decided to take a look at the history thing. Actually quite interesting...</p> <p>Tonight, there will be a feature called "Rail Adventure on 5 Continents". It´ll show the most spectacular railroads in the world. I guess it´s gonna be the Transcanadian, the Tibet Line in China, the "Ghan" in Australia, the "Blue Train" in South Africa and, of course, the Gotthardt Line in Switzerland. In any case, 90 minutes not wasted. I just hope that Petra does not want to watch the Sunday Crime time feature.</p> <p>Todd - it was "only " gusts which topped 160 mph, but it was pretty bad that way. No building can withstand a sustained blow of that speed. Again, it is a miracle that no one got hurt, although a lot of trees fell onto the tracks, catenary went down. I am just glad that our power and telephone lines are underground.</p> <p>TTFN</p>
