The public thinks we are that nuisance that blocks crossings to make them late for work and wakes them up at night with our excessive horn blowing.

I still wave anyhow.  But I notice not many sitting at grade crossings return the gesture.  

 

It's been fun.  But it isn't much fun anymore.   Signing off for now.

OK, I think this has gone on long enough.

Let me be perfectly clear that I want no one to leave this forum. Please read my previous posts for my opinion on everyone coming closer to middle ground.

Now, lets move on. Take a deep cleansing breath and put this behind us.

Have a great weekend everyone, Bergie
