I guess the important lesseon to be taken away from this exercise is the wisdom of the NS's (nee N&W/Southern) policy of running long hood forward. BlindfoldBow

Note to Wabash1: Is the rule there lid up or down?    Around here it is now lid up, always; since the night the kids put the cat in the toilet, and left the lid down.       You've never heard a scream like the one the wife uttered at 2AM when that wet cat went between her legs as she was about to do what she needed to do!

One more question:  Regular or double stuff?  

Wabash1:

"...Now in kitchen step step step reach into cabinit get glass turn around open refrigerator door get milk out pour glass of milk put jug back. step step step stop at table sit down glass and go over to stove turn on oven light, walk back over to table sit down. open up oreo package get a cookie out dunk dunk dunk eat. ahh get another cookie dunk dunk dunk dunk eat mmmmm get another cookie out dunk dunk dunk. eat  reach for another. ( i realy should stop bad for diet) dunk dunk dunk. eat, mmmmm , Just one more dunk dunk dunk eat ahhh good but i really should stop  reach dunk dunk dunk dunk eat why cant a person stop at 1 or 2, im gonna hate myself and my waist line.  reach search search, package empty. gulp gulp gulp refreshing. put glass in sink rinsing out first..."

Wabash, still wondering. Do you dunk Regular or Double Stuff?Smile,Wink, & Grin

Because that is how we all operate.  We don't slow to a crawl because of a little fog or rain (or that pesky little thing called darkness that seems to occur every night for some reason). 

 

No one suggested slowing to a crawl because of "a little fog or rain or darkness."  If that is an example of your reading accuracy, maybe you ought to read the rulebook again.

     I know this will upset some.....but this thread has pretty much run it's course.  From here on out,  it's heading towards ugly.  I'm going to lock it now, so we can all move on.
