<p>Good Afternoon!</p> <p>An [angel] goes out to Barry for a successful surgery and a speedy recovery thereafter!</p> <p>Henry - my favorite line is the former Furka Oberalpbahn (FO), a narrow gauge railroad from Brig to Disentis. This railroad has been merged with the former Brig Visp Zermatt railway (BVZ) to form the Matterhorn Gotthardbahn (MGB). Add to that the Rhaetian Railway and you have the route of the famous Glacier Express from St. Moritz to Zermatt. I have been attach to the FO since my childhood days. I spent my 10th birthday with a cab ride on the loco you see in my avatar!</p> <p>Galaxy - here is one for you:</p> <p><span lang="la">Tu ne quaesieris, scire nefas, quem mihi, quem tibi<br /> finem di dederint, Leuconoe, nec Babylonios<br /> temptaris numeros. ut melius, quidquid erit, pati.<br /> seu pluris hiemes seu tribuit Iuppiter ultimam,<br /> quae nunc oppositis debilitat pumicibus mare<br /> Tyrrhenum. Sapias, vina liques et spatio brevi<br /> spem longam reseces. dum loquimur, fugerit invida<br /> aetas: carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero-</span></p> <p><span lang="la">All of that translates into:</span></p> <p>Ask not ('tis forbidden knowledge), what our destined term of years,<br /> Mine and yours; nor scan the tables of your Babylonish seers.<br /> Better far to bear the future, my Leuconoe, like the past,<br /> Whether Jove has many winters yet to give, or this our last;<br /> This, that makes the Tyrrhene billows spend their strength against the shore.<br /> Strain your wine and prove your wisdom; life is short; should hope be more?<br /> In the moment of our talking, envious time has ebb'd away.<br /> Seize the present; trust tomorrow e'en as little as you may</p> <p>Not much MRRing today - I just spread some WS fine turf on the layout.</p> <p><img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/P1100392_zpsoie2fzqj.jpg" alt=" " /></p> <p>Well, here is a "Carpe Diem" to all of you!</p>
