<p> Well, it´s me again!</p><p>we were able to bring my mother to the new hospital, so it was not necessary for her to be taken by an ambulance to that place. When she collapsed, she was taken by heli to Kiel, which is over an hours drive away from my parent´s place. Now she is in Rendsburg, which is just 15 - 20 minutes away. A neighbor will take my father to see her every day, so that will help him to build up confidence again. My mother is doing actually quite well, she wanted to go home instead of the hospital - oh, mothers!</p><p>Starting tomorrow, my father will get a cooked meal served, there will be someone looking for him and doing some household chores. I took me quite sometime to arrange for all of this. I wish I could stay on, but my leave from the GULAG is only limited to today. On Monday I have to report back, although it is just a waste of time.[banghead] and [soapbox].</p><p>I did a short calculation on what the track for that Salt Lake layout would cost - another dream down the drain [sigh]. At the rate I can save up the money, it would cost me 8 years just to buy the track - no loco, no rolling stock - [sigh][sigh][sigh] </p><p>When will I learn to accept my current life and boil things down to what is realistic - when will I stop dreaming? [sigh][sigh][sigh].</p><p>Actually I feel a bit ashamed , fussing about my MRR woes at a time, when the people in Haiti are fighting for bare survival. I have donated a little to the German Red Cross, as we will have a little surplus this month.</p><p>Chloe, it is about time for supper - how about a bowl of that spicy chili and a Coors to wash it down?</p><p><b>Garry</b> - I´ll take one of that - I just love cinnamon! <br></p><p>Blessings and prayers to all in need! <br></p><p> </p>
