So that's why I have boxes of RR slides yet to be organized.
That's why so many of my railfan shots are blurred or poorly centered
That's why I run out of film just as the unique train comes round the bend
That's why I have an unfinished HO layout that just sits there

.... too many peppers.

What a bunch of cr@p for a poor excuse.

Doesn't even have the originality of the old 'Twinkie Defense'.

Never too old to have a happy childhood!
