Deshler Ohio-crossroads of the B&O Matt eats your fries.YUM! Clinton st viaduct undefeated against too tall trucks!!!(voted to be called the "Clinton St. can opener").
I know the answer after a little research, and the artist was one of my favorites. We've attended a big concert in downtown CR by this artist many years ago. It surprised me that the City Of New Orleans is in the artist's playlist- now I'll have to go back through my albums and find it!
Oh, and I'll add another big clue if you guys don't mind.

Good Saturday morning, everyone! Cannonball, thanks for refreshing my memory. I knew I was missing two or three (at least) people from that list! Randy, and Duff. Maybe we need to issure an APB to find our lost patrons! Even the ones who vanished to the TL, could still come in here once a week or couple of weeks, to say "Hi all", and let us know how they're doing!! We are not an unfriendly bunch here at the Diner!!
Slept in this morning (just woke up an hour ago). Beginning to get my eyes opened, thanks to Joe making the coffee. And Joe, thank you for making breakfast this morning. And tell Matt thank you, for suggesting cinnamon rolls this morning!!
I see that no one has ventured a guess to Mutt's trivia question. I know the answer; but, I'm not going to spoil the fun! Where's everyone's guesses on that one? Maybe Mutt needs to give you more clues?
....Cannonball:
Passing a little info on to you since you were in Muncie in years past. A short time ago, on here....I mentioned how the change is taking place here re: auto industry manufacturing. Well day before yesterday over at the old "Chevrolet complex of manufacturing" {on 8th st.}, the last icon of that organization was toppled.
The 200' smoke stack that had the large letters of "CHEVROLET" Fell to the ground with a blast setting off the motion....It's all gone now...The whole plant, the 1935 Chevrolet transmission plant, is all demolished.
Actually learned that smoke stack goes back further than that to a small plant "Warner Arc Light Co"....and the history of that folds into the beginning of what would become "Warner Gear CO". Now it is quite possible what became Warner Gear and then Borg-Warner Automotive's half mile long plant will be removed some time in 2009....That's the word being circulated. It will close sometime in early 2009. It is the major supplier of F-series and Explorer 4 wheel drive transfer case assy's. Not a happy sight to see this stuff fall to wrecking balls.

I have not played euchre since I was in the army, 20 years ago. Those were the days!
Happy Groundhog Day, everyone, and thanks for the coffee.
Stopped by the Maricopa Live Steamers today after my visit with Mom. Caught them locking the gate, but they assured me they'd be running unless it rains. Probably ought to check the forecast.
Time to raid the cooler for a snack and head for bed. I'm gonna have a heck of a time getting my internal clock readjusted when I get back to NY.

Sir Larry-
Your picture has disappeared. Lots of houses around here are tan or white. 2" of snow last night. Just enough to make driving annoying for those who haven't yet figured out how to do that safely.
Hmmmm - Still there for me. It has updated to a night shot, though. And there are no cars in sight. Wonder why....
Not trying to start a quiz segment here; but who is one of the artists that sang;
"The City of New Orleans" that later died in a plane crash in 1997?
Being Crazy,keeps you from going "INSANE" !! "The light at the end of the tunnel,has been turned off due to budget cuts" NOT AFRAID A Vet., and PROUD OF IT!!
Hmm, Roger Miller? ("Trailers for sale or rent, rooms to let 50 cents.......King of the Road")
(wrong song, but believe right artist.)
(and no, NO cheating went on!!!; I didn't know she'd asked the question until I saw it here.)
Joe, you're more than welcome! As a matter of fact, I've got another round of fish just out of the fryer, along with more hushpuppies, fries, baked beans, corn on the cob, etc., on the warmer bar. And fixed more cole slaw and salads, which are in the cooler.
Joe, the popcorn sounds really good; just wish I could eat some of it, but that is a big no-no. What a bummer.
I think I know the answer to this (don't really remember anyone but him singing it), but we'll make a little "game" of it for tonight:
Who sang the song "Engine Engine # 9"?
cw thanks for supper.we have had rain to go with our snow this afternoon.going to be a cloudy weekend.good night to stay in and watch a movie.i'll make some popcorn about 8 pm.
heading out for another fun weekend trackside. But before I go - I will leave this little missive:
In keeping with the forum rules of posting about trains -
The rain in the plains falls mainly on the trains......
(and hopefully on the rest of the true midwest!)
Everyone stay put until Monday morning.....
Mook
She who has no signature! cinscocom-tmw
Hello everybody! Went to the store this morning, to get some food for the next couple, three days. (Was out of fruit punch and coffee, so HAD to go get that, espicially!!) Been home about an hour, and now have lunch on the warmer bar. It's Friday Fish Fry time, and on today's menu: cod, hallibut, haddock, flounder, perch, shrimp and whitefish. Also on the warmer bar: fries (especially for little Matt), corn on the cob, baked beans, hushpuppies and in the cooler: cole slaw and salad.
Desserts: regular list of cakes, cobblers and pies.
Nice and breezy out, with a few flurries around. Nothing too spectacular, weather wise.

Ms Mook - I actually live in a "hamlet" - a small gathering of houses (something over 100 of them in our case). It's in a small valley, so it's uphill in almost all directions on the way out of town. Lots of low hills in the area - flat doesn't apply here.
The image I posted is Public Square in Watertown, a city of ~25,000, county seat, and where most of us do our shopping. Snowy Syracuse is 70 miles south, and the major snow belt is just 20 miles to the south. Like here. The school is closed today (2/1).
Time to hit the road and visit me mum.
Dennis - no problems here. Can't complain, cuz no one would listen. But really very fortunate to have no particular problems. So glad you are back! I have about worn out the regulars and it is always nice to have a new list to work on.....
Tree - I always picture you as living in an area that is more like plains of Nebraska or Wyoming - just flat or slightly hilly and tons of white snow. I am so glad to see you have civilization! And nice looking civilization (I really do need to get out more!) Very nice looking town/city/spot in the road?
Tan is good - I would love one - but can't find one that will stick. I just get the burn and peel one.
Quentin - you must live in a sister city to Lincoln - when all around us are losing their heads - in the bad weather - it usually misses us completely or just nicks us at best. But they always get the wind right! And the temp is usually right on target.
....I don't really know where most of the forecast storm and heavy snow fall did go, but it sure hasn't arrived here...{yet}...??
We were under the threat of up to 10" of the stuff and as we looked out this morning, I estimate we have seen about a half inch overnight....!!!
It's above freezing too....34 plus degrees.
Sky is light...sunshine at times.
Edit: Tree, your photo shows about what I'd think Winter looks like up in your home area.
Radar shows not too much back of us to arrive yet, so I really don't know what we'll get as the day moves on....I'm not complaining...for sure.
Might be a pretty good start for February.
Ms Spears has morphed into the realm of people who are famous because they are famous. Any artistic accomplishments she may have achieved are ancient history.
What it looks like at home right now. (Probably subject to regular updates) Schools are all closed...
Just tan here. Everywhere you look. I think it's the only color of paint they sell here in Phoenix.
Mookie,
A typical welcome back from you, and much appreciated. You are, I trust, well and healthy ?
Regarding our weather, of course, one would never believe, judging from the news bulletins, that we'd ever had snow before. Actually, so far, our winter in the South of England has been relatively mild, and even in the more northerly parts has not been more severe than normal. The only event of any note occasioned by our weather has been the beaching of a car ferry on route from Ireland, fortunately with no harm to either passengers or crew.
I hope now to be back as a regular on the forums, now more pressing matters have been resolved.
CW - one large mug of hot coffee please (white with sugar), and a large plate of cookies.
Regards, All,
Dennis (Germanium)
LOL I assume you meant Matt's school is closed Joe. Hard to imagine lock and key on the Fry Master!
Supposed to get more snow this weekend and next week. Sounds good to me! Off to work...yechy.
morning
matt is closed for the day.we had some freezing rain between snow bands last night.slow and steady coming home.saw some fender benders too this morning.the birds are fed and the driveway is clean for now.might get out the sleds later.
Joe
I was listening to KELO AM this morning and it was reported that the reason why so many police officers were required to escourt miss Spears to the hospital was the presence of the local paparazzi, who descended on the scene like vultures.
Ray
I am not picking on Brit, per se. She hasn't been rational for some time and yet it takes an act of Congress to get her some help. Most of the stars have problems and don't make this kind of commotion.
But I am saying that our wonderful media just picks at something until it dies! And the celebs keep performing for them.
And why did it take a dozen police officers to get her to the hospital. Here in the true midwest, we can do it with 2 paramedics and maybe 1 or 2 officers.
