<p>Good Morning,</p> <p>I am just home from a night´s visit to our hospital. The pain got worse last night, so I checked in to this dreaded place. Well, it seems as if one of my ribs is cracked. As Chris stated, there is not much one can do about it other than bandaging the chest and a strong pain med. That sucks!</p> <p>Zoe, a tall glass of liquid vitamins, please!</p> <p>Ray - your granddaughters are just adorable. I like Emily´s picture - can anyone resist her eyes? You are a blessed man!</p> <p>Garry - good to see the man behind the posts. I bet that layout tour earned you a number of ah´s and oh´s. </p> <p>Ken - I know what I am about to type up won´t earn me some brownie points and I hope you won´t be mad at me, but I have to speak up. I don´t think that either plan is what you are really looking for. The first plan, though kind of sleek looking, will give you some serious reach problems and the spaghetti bowl peninsula will be hard to come up with a plausible scenery that does not look like a Swiss cheese. There are just too many over- and underpasses. Mother Nature does not stack up LDE´s, but puts them in a sequential order (Switzerland being the exception). The second plan has even more reach problems and has a toy-like atmosphere. You have a good looking layout and there should be something mucho better at hand before you tear it down. Although you have a lot of space available, there are limitations to what you can do in that area. A four-track main, a branch line, a station and a big yard, plus some industries is just too much for your room. Simplicity rules! </p> <p>I will try to catch some sleep now and to forget about my pain.</p> <p>CUL</p>
