<p>Good Morning Gang!</p> <p>Zoe, it´s Sunday, so I´ll go for a big Sunday breakfast, old fashioned style. Hot cakes from the griddle, maple syrup, sausages, bacon & eggs, mushrooms, a tall glass of OJ and lots of coffee, please.</p> <p>Today will not be as hot as the last days have been. Temperatures topping 100F are not my kind of weather, especially when it´s humid as well. Night time temps were OK, so I was able to catch a good dose of sleep.</p> <p>I really enjoyed yesterday´s outing. The air was filled with that wonderful smell of steam, hot oil, and coal. The place was bustling with activity - railroading just like in the good old days.</p> <p>A special treat was watching that cute little three-year old. He was so excited! Daddy, look here, and there, and there... He was screaming with delight, albeit with the noise of a jumbo jet taking off ... [swg] Talked to his daddy for quite a while. His wife is attending a work conference in Bremen, so he took the time to ride some trains in Germany. It was his soon which made him turn into a rail fan and he is enjoying the atmosphere of times gone by. The "kid" is only in his late twenties, but already a university professor! A bright fellow! I wish our two countries had more people like him (and his son) - I would not be worried about our future as much as I am now.</p> <p>The steam festival continues today and I am inclined to fire up my car and go there for a second round, but I bet Petra would mind. I am still undecided...</p> <p>Have a splendid day!</p> <p><a href="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/P1070135_zps043029e4.jpg"><img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/P1070135_zps043029e4.jpg" alt=" " border="0" /></a></p> <p><a href="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/P1070135_zps043029e4.jpg"></a><a href="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/P1070196_zpse0b67cbc.jpg"><img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/P1070196_zpse0b67cbc.jpg" alt=" " border="0" /></a></p>
