<p>To Shi Ba, Samurai-sama!</p> <p>Good Morning!</p> <p>Day 12 in Japan! I hope you are still enjoying it!</p> <p>The predicted snow did not come, just a little dusting of less than an inch. Temperatures are supposed to rise above freezing, with rain to come, which means icy roads tomorrow. I am glad I win´t have to go anywhere, maybe just a little shopping to do.</p> <p>Keith - I am really glad to hear from you! Man, was I worried! Too bad your business is gone and you suffered such a big loss. We have been through this for three years now. It may sound pathetic, but we have learned that the riches of this world don´t mean a thing, if you still have friends. I have lost all my former so-called friends but one, but I have found new ones, right here in the forum. Hang in there, better times will come, I am sure.</p> <p>Jeff - [bow] to what you are able to do with your van. I am totally lost when it comes to auto mechanics and electrics - which makes my garage happy. My little Renault is starting to develop problems. It needs new shocks, a new clutch and a quite a few other things. I don´t have the funds to do all these repairs, so no idea how long I can keep it running [|(]</p> <p>Ray - it´s no switcher, it´s a road engine. Tank engines were quite popular on short lines, especially narrow gauge lines. You hardly see a turntable at the end of a line over here.</p> <p>Ken, Jim and all others with work issues - there seems to be a complete deterioration of work climate and ethics these days. Long gone are the times when we talked about human capital as the most important and valuable asset in a company. People have turned into a resource up to be wasted - there are plenty on the market to fill a gap, so they think. You and I are not going to change that, but we all see where we are heading - end of rant.</p> <p><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-C8V8zkmhVD4/TjVxWbaF7ZI/AAAAAAAAABU/w-YlEZUmqH4/s1600/JRN+D51+Steam+Loco+Double+header.jpg" style="max-width: 550px;" border="0" /></p> <p><img src="http://www.japaneserailwaysociety.com/jrs/members/naito/sh32/c58363.jpg" style="max-width: 550px;" border="0" /></p> <p><img src="http://www.japaneserailwaysociety.com/jrs/members/naito/sh32/paleo.jpg" style="max-width: 550px;" border="0" /></p> <p><img src="http://c58363.image.coocan.jp/ctk/chichibu/paleo_express.jpg" style="max-width: 550px;" border="0" /></p> <p><img src="http://www.oigawa-railway.co.jp/images/train/c11190/c11190_09.jpg" style="max-width: 550px;" border="0" /></p> <p>As we are nearing lunchtime here in Germany, I´ll just go for some coffee. Janie, if you please?</p> <p>Have a good day!</p>
