Mookie!

I am surprised! Glad you're visiting!

I was checking out TRAINS yesterday. Was a little dissappointed in the amount of "Anit-Amtrak" sentiments that was being posted by forum members there. I have a lot of respect for CSXengineer98, but I found his view quite surprising.

I hate flying. I've used Amtrak before and when the Class 1 railroads conform to the schedules, the service is very good and a heck of a lot better than what greyhound has to offer.

Take care,"Mookie!"

"I like my Pullman Standards & Budds in Stainless Steel flavors, thank you!"

RED LETTER DAY Mookie Visits Model Railroader Forum


Neeeeebrraaaassssskey, Somewhere in the United States


Today the earth stood still as THE event of the millennium took place. Mookie, YES, MOOKIE, graced the Model Railroad Forum with her presence. MR forum members were in AWE of her Highness and dazzled by her sparkling Tiara. Trains.magazine forum members were simply speechless when news of her first forum jump became public. Which thread did the royal kitty visit? Moi was checking out Vic Smith's future purchase for his model railroad. You can also visit his thread: http://www.trains.com/community/forum/topic.asp?page=1&TOPIC_ID=21415
and see for yourself her dissertation. This historical event no doubt has left the forum administrators with grins on their faces (and possibly chocolate cake) in celebration of this special occasion. When and which thread will the Mookster visit next? Sources close to the feline are withholding information as the kitty purrs with glee over her first successful forum jump.

Jim - a very nice tribute to the resident cat on the Trains Forum. But you know, these people will think you have dropped your last acorn. They won't have a clue what you are going off your track about. I am afraid this will cost you a lot of credibility in the neighborhood.

Mookie

PS - I really do like the blue on this forum - it is a "gentle" layout.....
