Galactic coordinates;

Section ZZ9, Plural Z Alpha

At least thats what the Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy says...Pretty isolated backwater so it says...the Unfashionable End of the western spiral arm.

Actually as the profile says, Smoggy L.A., Pasadena to be more precise...we are getting ready for "silly season" here...thats when all the Yuckles show up for the Rose Parade, they dont know how to drive, how to park, or even how to cross the street. happens every year so we get used to it.

   Have fun with your trains

Hunter - When we met in January of 2000, you were just a 6 week old pup who walked his way into this heart of mine as the only runt in the litter who would come over to me. And today, I sit here and tell you I am sorry we had to put you down. It was the best thing for you and also the right thing to do. May you now rest in peace and comfort. Love, Dad. 8 June 2010

I love you and miss you Mom. Say hi to everyone up there for me. Rest in peace and comfort. Love, John. 29 March 2017

I grew up in Seminole , Florida for 18 years.
I never lived in the same place for long in the military.
I bought a house overlooking hills and greenery.
Now, I live in my new house , somewhere in the east.

How's the weather back east.
I grew up just north of you in Big Beaver just outside of Koppel and lived in North Sewickly until we moved to Dewey Az. a couple of years ago.
Lots of railroad activity in that area.

I live in a pauper's village in "BEAUTIFUL BRITISH COLUMBIA" (it's verified on ALL our licence plates), Canada. Population of 400 - including the pigs and chickens.[:D]

other trivia: (from earlier post replies)
- not too far from Cranbrook (few hrs)[^]
- my folks immigrated from the Netherlands (Roden, and Broek op Lange Dijk - sp?)[^]
- brother in Australia[^]
- I thought I knew where the left armpit was, but I've never been to That one[?]

I live about 25 miles west of downtown Chicago in small suburb. The (former) Milwaukee Road's west line is two blocks south of me. METRA commuter trains to/from Chicago utilize the line (watching the parade of commuter trains during the evening rush hours is a blast), along with freight traffic. All this double-tracked stretch of line needs to be totally awesome is some Amtrak service thrown in! I'd always be trackside, taking pictures.
