The RIP track is the place for us to pay our respect to our friends and forum members who are no longer with us.
It takes an iron man to play with a toy iron horse.
Welcome to September in the Diner!
This is a place to gather, a place without an agenda or a topic. It's free to all, to read, to join in, or just to enjoy some virtual food. Our gracious hosts ask only that we avoid certain hot-button topics like politics and religion that sometimes raise tempers.
You'll get to know the friendly staff just by listening. It's a place to share your day, your concerns, your joys and sorrows. Welcome aboard.
This month, the Diner is on a short run-around siding in Old Orchard Beach, Maine. It's a lovely seasonal town that will close for the winter shortly, even the AmTrak station where the Downeaster now makes several daily stops. Meanwhile, enjoy the clams, scallops and lobster specials all month, and don't forget to look up to see the Ferris wheel and roller coaster silhoutted against the blue sky over the ocean.
