Well, we are back, and we had a ball in Lincoln and elsewhere on the trip. Put 3000 miles on the car, visited ten states, met Carl in IL and Mookie in NE, saw plenty trains, and were chased by thunderstorms. Nice to be home but I think I'll be ready to go again in a week or so (too bad my bank account won't be!).

I'll post more about the trip later this weekend -- we just got home yesterday and we've still got a lot of unpacking to do!

Psst i wont tell a certain railroad you stuffed a norange engine in you suitcase[;)]
welcome back
stay safe

Poor animals! They are affected so much more!

So far we've ducked all the heavy stuff - it's all stayed in the southern tier and south.

My trusty NOAA weather radio keeps me up on the bad stuff, and will always wake me when it goes off. By then, though, my other warning system - a 35 lb Sheltie mix - has whined me awake. Then she hides somewhere until it's over, all the while willing me to make it go away.

Hi Mookie:

Your weather went through here (WV) last night, but we're still standing - not much sleep though. Our canine family representative was 90 pounds of "quivering courage" under the big table in the living room all night - he just don't like it when it thunders, etc.

work safe

Nora - glad you made it home ok - just in time, too - we are going to do some more tornados thru the plains (that's us) - the midwest - (that should be us) and the Ohio Valley - on Sat/Sun. Must be all that partying we do on Sat pm!

Kiss the kids! Skoal to Rick! :)

Should I say "peace" again, or is it time to drop the whole thing?

Mookie-you wouldn't happen to have been around a nuclear test site, would you? All of those "extra" body parts make me wonder....[:D][(-D]
Naw - not any more - Hallam that has now disappeared had a nuclear plant, but they took the nuc out of it and now it just eats coal. But if we ladies put our mind to it, we can do just about anything.....don't forget that....[:)]

Now the only job that sounded interesting to me was the 2439 GP30 "just loafing around..." I call that piddlin. I always looked forward to the day when I'd have the moss to be able to piddle; you know, take a car and spot here; run light through the yard to find a number for the yardmaster. You know, piddlin'. I know you must be able to piddle at times, Mook. A woman of your high position certainly can order the calls held, your assistants know not why, while you PIDDLE! Life can be grand, eh, Mook? [Not to worry, I won't rat you out!] Let the youngsters have the mile long freights at 60 per; it's the piddling life for me! P.S. I'm not a doctor, but I dunno...a new leg. You maybe should see a doctor. That could be serious. Hope it's not in an inconvenient spot.
Ah Skeets - I tried to piddle and they got the master key and unlocked my door to make sure I was ok!

Our office has a bad case of two-legged ants - they keep running in my office to get into my candy dish! [:D]

All mothers have 4 eyes (2 front, 2 back) why not an extra arm or leg. No different than that hollow leg some men have, eh?

....Jen....Saw the little town pictured in the paper and on TV and the rail cars that were victims of the wind....near you that took a direct tornado hit. They mentioned of taking injured into Lincoln and I thought of you and your visitors as you may have been out doing some sight seeing, etc....
They won't let you near the town unless you are "certified" or "registered". They are only letting in a small amount of people to see what's left of their homes and they have to be escorted in and out. And you have to be on the "Help clean up crews".

Had another tornado not too far from there again last nite. We generally have tornados, but they usually don't hit the small towns and for the last few years, we haven't had as many as in years past. But we almost lost Deshler a year or two ago and now Hallam is gone.
