<p> Good Morning Everyone! (Good Night, Keith!)</p><p>Mah nah, mah nah? Not again [:-^]</p><p>No, Zoe, promised - I won´t sing, I will just stay here, enjoy my French Sunday breakfast and keep quiet. Thank you - that´s my gal!</p><p><b>Keith </b>- I bet you and I are the living proof, that your song can´t be right. We both are happy, and our wives may not be pretty in terms of a Heidi Klum, Naomi Campbell or Linda Evangelista, but they are pretty to us. (<font size="1"><i>So, now that Petra is not looking over my shoulder any more ... [:-^]</i></font><br></p><p> <b>John</b> - I am sorry for all the hassle you have to go through with that HO scale structure that wants to be an N scale one. I am always afraid of things like this happen, when I place an order to overseas vendors. Return shipping easily adds to $ 50 - 75, which is prohibitive.</p><p><b>Chuck</b> - thanks for your PM. I have lost track of all the names that appeared in the Diner within the last 15 months. Seems as if I am getting old now, I start to forget things (especially those, which are on my HD list). There has been a lot of coming and going recently, with a number of people showing up only occasionally. For the sake of security and protection, there is no list of names and addresses, other than the one posted here a long time ago.</p><p><i>1. Well, they handed him his orders in Monroe, Virginia,<br> Sayin', "Steve, you're way behind time.<br> This is not 38, it is Old 97<br> You must put her into Spencer on time." </i></p><p><i> 2. Well, the engineer he said to his black, greasy fireman<br> "Shovel on a little more coal,<br> And when we cross that White Oak Mountain<br> You can watch Old 97 roll." </i></p><p><i> 3. It's a mighty hard road from Lynchburg to Danville<br> A road with a three-mile grade.<br> It was on that grade that he lost his air brake,<br> You can see what a jump she made. </i></p><p><i> 4. He was goin' down the grade making 90 miles an hour,<br> When his whistle broke into a scream,<br> He was found in the wreck with his hand on the throttle,<br> He was scalded to death by the steam. </i></p><p><i> 5. Now the telegram came into Washington Station<br> And this is what it said:<br> That brave engineer that drove old 97<br> Is layin' down in Danville, dead. </i></p><p><i> 6. Now listen, all you ladies, you must all take a warning,<br> From this story a lesson learn:<br> Never speak harsh words to your true lovin' husband,<br> He may leave you and never return. </i></p><p>[:-^]</p><p>Ouch - that hurts! Yes, Zoe, I had promised not to sing, yes, I won´t do it again - now will you please stop beating me with that pan? Thank - you are so kind!</p><p>Have a good Sunday! <br></p><p> </p>
