Living the dream.
Tigers are fond of pecan pie, and have never been to Atlanta as that must be somewhere in Gerogia. I hear that is a peach opf a state.
Anyway, AMTK calls there only twice a day, once in each direction.
You can get that same service in Rugby, North Dakota.
But does Atlanta have commuter trains?
The LION wants to know. Maybe he can find himself some tasty commuters for breakfast..

Tahiti, it is the most beautiful place I have ever been to. Surely someone somewhere in French Polynesia must have a model railroad that would qualify the country. And it's warm there.
Good morning from a sunny West Coast where it is 0c.
I still feel like crap and didn't sleep a wink last night. Got lots of small jobs around the house done yesterday, isn't that what you do when you feel like death? At least the Canucks are on the tube tonight.
I have known this couple for about 40 years, she was a telephone operator and her hobby was entering contest. In the last 25 years since the internet came online, she has made over a $100,000.00 a year by winning cars, trips appliances, and cash awards. They end up selling just about everything they have won. They live in a very nice oceanfront home as a result of the winnings over the years.
A while back the wife and I ate out at the airport and on the receipt, there was take a survey to win $500.00 Amazon gift certificate. I gave it to her and reminded her about our friend. She took the survey online, it took her about two minutes and she won the $500.00! Go figure. All lottery and contest wins are tax-free in Canada. Effort in, reward out.
Well I guess I had better go build me a great big plate of bacon and eggs, I was feeling a little wasted and hopped on the scale and I am down about 8 pounds from where I should be. There are six Golden Retrievers around me sound asleep here in the kitchen as I type. The smell of bacon cooking should end their slumber. They say owning a dog will make you live longer, fighting off six of them for my bacon will easily put me North of a 100.
All the best to all.

BATMANTahiti, it is the most beautiful place I have ever been to. Surely someone somewhere in French Polynesia must have a model railroad that would qualify the country.
The island of Makatea in French Polynesia had an industrial railroad, serving the phosphate mines, connecting them with the loading dock. The operation closed down in 1963.
There seems to be negotiations ongoing with China Rail to build a rail network in Tahiti.
Tahiti Rail, however, is an extinct bird.
Happy times!

Yes, MARTA operates a network of commuter trains in the Atlanta Metropolitan area.
Afternoon Folks!
Have a couple free minutes to stop by and say "Hi"!
Hi!
Geeeeooohhhgiaaahhhhhh??? Good as anyplace I guess. Last Time I drove through Georgia I (and my son) got snowed in up in Nohth Caahhhrollahna about 5 miles North of the state line. Hardeeville??? Folks down there have no clue how to deal with a foot of the frozen white stuff!
Anyway, I have driven around Savanna Georgia several times but never got anywhere really near Atlanta. That was on my way from Geneva, NY to Geneva, FL to visit my sister, the Rev., down there over the Holy Days at the end of the year a few times. Might be interstin?
Monday and today I broke a lifetime record of actually running more than a mile nonstop! Today I managed to run 6.5 full laps of the fieldhouse track at the end of my workput to get 1.2 miles at the end of the workout. Total miles today of running..... 4.5 miles. Total distance at the fieldhouse, 5.4 miles. Not bad for an old phart turning 73 in less than a month!
Tonight I am taking a lovely retired Gym Teacher to Eastman Theater in Rochester to see the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Winton Marsalis concert. She told me last time I saw her that she is really looking forward to it.... So am I!!!
Leaves are big time dropping from the trees in my neighborhood... If the rain holds off tomorrow, I plan to mow lawn and mulch the leaves while I do that.... Otherwise, they can just blow over to someone elses property and they can rake and have the city collect them so the city can mulch them and give away the results of that in the spring......
Have a great day!

Good Afternoon!
I feel a little strange today - sleepy and with my BP undecided to be way under or way above my usual figure. Side effects of the flu shot? Maybe.
A perfect afternoon and night for Halloween! Nice, dry and crisp air - ideal for trick or treating! Celebrating Halloween is not anchored into our traditions and has only been introduced maybe 20 years ago. It has worn off its novelty by now and there have been less and less kids going for treats. None at all in my neighborhood. But then we are not of Celtic origin here, but of Saxon descent.
I gather there is a good degree of consent to the November Diner location in Georgia, so Georgia it shall be!
Have a happy Halloween, y´all over at the other end of the Big Pond!
cudakenProblem was Citi Bank / Master card decided I did not need it! Bang Head I norally don't buy on line. Plus I have never bought from Newegg.com So when I tried to cash out I was stopped! Bang Head Called Citi Bank and they said Master Card stopped the purchase not them?
Has happened to me several times, and I only have one card, a company card, but it has my name on it and each user has their own limits. If I need to spend over my limit I get the business manager's card (numbers) and go ahead with the order.
When this happens I call the card company right then and there (The number is on your card), usually this is because my number has been compromised and they shut it down.
Once I reported that YES, I was trying to make a purchase from Nottingham England. Then it went right throug.
Mostly the ask me if I bought thus and such from so and so in Alabama or some other such place where I have never been.
They then send me a new card, but that takes about a week.
Credit Rating: I have none. The only reason why they know that I exist is because the card company canceled a card.
But that is to be expected since I have no work history, I pay no rents, and I have no cards in my name. To them I do not exist.

Tinplate ToddlerHave a happy Halloween, y´all over at the other end of the Big Pond!
Thanks Ulrich.
Unfortunately the weather in eastern Canada is going to be pretty nasty on Halloween this year. Southern Ontario is expecting heavy rains, and Montreal has actually postponed the trick or treating until tomorrow night.
We stopped giving out treats a couple of years ago. We getting very few kids at the door and to get to our house they had to either walk down the side of the road or cross it. There are no sidewalks on our side and nobody else on our side gives out treats anymore. Given that so many stupid drivers don't see the need to drive slowly when the kids are out, we felt that making the children cross the street was not worth the risk.

Good morning. Cold, but sunny. We will warm up above freezing for the first time in a while, so some of the snow should melt.
Our church puts on a "Trunk or Treat" with lots of people in costumes, lots of cars or SUVs with their trunks full of candy, and lots of kids. The church also has hot dogs and other foods, game booths, etc. In our small town, it's almost a fall celebration and we will have a large crowd of people attend. It makes for a great evening. The added attraction is that if it's bad weather, we can move it indoors to the gym and hallways.
I have one credit card, which I got when I was ready to leave for college in the 1960s. Back then it was called BankAmericard. My parents made it clear it was only for emergencies, and emergencies meant life or death, not beer or a movie.
Today, I very seldom use it. I do use a debit card a lot, but never for anything I would not normally buy with cash. I know there are studies that show people spend more money with a debit card than if they pay with cash. That's not me, however.
Have a great day, everyone.

I asked my doctor if I gave up delicious food and all alcohol, would I live longer? He said, "No, but it will seem longer."
I pay cash. Should I order something online, I pay via bank transfer. I don´t have a debit card, nor a credit card. Without those cards, you spend a lot less and save a lot of money! We have benn running a tight ship on spendings the last couple of years and were thus able to save a pretty penny - not a fortune, though.
I use a bank debit card sometimes, and the only restriction is if I'm going to spend more than $500., I have to call the bank first so it goes through.
There isn't any type of restriction on the 1 credit card we use.
4" of wet heavy snow, and counting this morning in SE. WI. What a strange weather year it has been! Suppose to have 5" to 6" when it's done late pm.
Trick or Treat hasn't been cancelled yet, still on for tonight.

For the first time in 10 years, we had a little boy calling on us for treats. Must be new in the neighborhood.
RideOnRoad No comments on the World Series?
Well, we watched it, the only complete game we've seen this year. We aren't baseball fans, but the Nationals are a local team, so we stayed up late to watch. We liked the way it turned out.
Remember the old days, when baseball was played in the daytime in the middle of the week, out in the sunshine?
It takes an iron man to play with a toy iron horse.
RideOnRoadNo comments on the World Series?
I didn't even know it was on until it was over! I'm not much of a sports fan.
I honestly thoght we were still in the league playoff games, then I found out it was over.
Oh well, I am not really a sports fan, except for the Olympics and the Superbowl.
Strange that it is called World Series with it being a completely domestic affair. Maybe the world I am living in is a different one.
How can one screw up a hard boiled egg? I dunno, but I managed to cook eggs that delaminated. It came out of the shell like an onion with a layer of white stuck to the shell.
Awful tragedy on a Pakistan train. It's against the rules, but people can bring their own stove, one caught fire and the train didn't stop for 20 minutes.

I only followed baseball when the teams traveled by train. Since then, not so much.

Is that the sport where they have to run for cover at the first drop of rain? I guess they don't want to get their hair wet. I wonder how they would react to pond hockey in a blizzard?
I agree with Ulrich, why is it called the world series when no one else is invited?
BATMANI agree with Ulrich, why is it called the world series when no one else is invited?
The first series was played in 1903 when baseball was played basically only in the U.S. (Although some other countries had games and leagues, but not on the same scale.)
The owner of the Pittsburgh Pirates wrote to the owner of the Boston Americans, challenging them to a championship set of games that was called the World Championship Series, and eventually the name became the World Series.
There is actually a world championship played every three or four years, with mostly Major League players playing for their home countries. There have been four series played and their winners: 2006 - Japan, 2009 - Japan, 2013 - Dominican Republic, 2017 - United States.
I love baseball, and watched games nearly every night through the season. I wanted the Astros to win.
Games are normally played even in the rain, but if there is lightning visible, or the possibility lightning will occur, they will stop the game.
I grew up in Texas and the Astros were my team, They did not win but I like when the series goes 7 games. It was a good series what i caught of it. it is hard to watch when on call. We had a change in temps today down into the 30's for most of the day. A few flakes of snow. Tonight I will be brodcasting the War of the Worlds from 1938 to my old radios and the neigborhood.( halloween tradition) I have an AM transmitter that can reach a few blocks. Right now we have swing music going for another 20 mins until the start of the program.
Ray: Enjoy Winton. I got to see Ellis at a small club in New Orleans in June, fantastic!

I need some bacon after today at work, Bacon soothes the soul.
JaBear Gidday Chloe, well as the Diner is heading offshore . . . The haka performed in the right context raises strong emotions, an example posted by Robert, mid-month, showing the All Black rugby team laying down a challenge with “Kapa O Ponga”. But having attended two funerals where a haka has been performed as a mark of respect is, to my mind, Very Powerful. So, I’ll finish our Downunder excursion with this… Thanks for coming along. Thoughts and Best Wishes to All that need them. Cheers, the Bear.
What a great send-off! A great send-off in the video, and a great send-off from the NZ Diner.
Thanks,
Robert
