Q, we don't get the "telemarketer calls" because of, but will have to try what you
suggested for the others. Hope it helps All of us. (will have to remember)
Unfortunately, They have found ways around these things.

If you have "Caller I.D." and you don't recognize the number, don't answer it.
Best I can say; we have to do that quite often.
(Especially if I'm working on the model railroad or things like that.)

Get the phone numbers to the States's Attorney General's Office, and a Federal
"No Call
List" and get your phone number blocked for those kinds of calls. (it does semi work)
Now as far as getting the "political parties" to stop calling you; please let me know.

I HAD to sleep in it the first night.) (single)
Multitasking tonight. Printing some tickets, filling the waterbed, even a little laundry. It's been a bit dry lately, so I can only fill the mattress for short periods at a time. Then the well gets to recover.

Hi Paula and folks,
Just dropping by on the way home. I learned about a Belgian light desert today. It is called L'orange. Thick Graham Cracker covered with Orange Marmalade or Peach Preserves served with fresh coffee. I tried it and it was, frankly, very good. Let me know what you think
Rain expected here in the Piedmont over the next two days,good thing we got the lawn over seeded today.
Take care all,

Good afternoon, folks. Cannonball, good to see you in here! When next month is your rail trip? (Sorry to say, I can't remember exactly when you and Shirl are leaving.) Guess my memory is failing me.
Mookie, are you enjoying the domestic goddess role?
Supper tonight is leftovers: roast, taters & carrots, beef stroganoff, Chinese, burritos and chimichangas left. (Getting fridge cleaned out for Mutt's spaghetti casserole tomorrow.)
You all have an enjoyable evening, and take care.

Only 43 right now, but looking to be a beautiful day!
Filling in a staffing gap on Saturday, as conductor. Could have worked a couple days this week on the railroad but couldn't get away from work. This gas thing isn't helping any.
Bearclaw and some tea...
Good Wednesday morning, everyone. Hope you all had a good night.We're at a temp this morning of 59, 60 degrees (according to local news report); I haven't personally looked at the thermometer yet.
Coffee, juices, and other beverages are ready for this morning.
The supper menu of our Tuesday Mexican Fiesta is now on the warmer bar. Everything from the lunch menu (tacos, burritos, chimichangas, fajitas, Spanish rice), along with tortilla chips and all the different sauces (picante, salsa, and con queso).
Everyone have a good evening, and take care.
afternoon
carl did see some trains this morning before they went to michigan.After matt got on the bus I watched trains near FC for awhile.They were down to 1 track west of town so it got tight at times.CSX has some new engines going west 930 and 934 with empty coal hoppers.Also 2 mookies were going west too.Cw thanks for lunch.time to get things back for work.

Yeah, the trees are beginning to show more color around here, also. Especially the ones that started turning colors back in July. That's one thing I miss, when we had the oak tree in the back yard. But, last week, I we were really glad that it was no longer in the back yard! We would have probably had a nice size hole in our roof.
The lunch part of our Tuesday Mexican Fiesta is now on the warmer bar:
1. Tacos (hard & soft shells); 2. burritos (beef, beef & bean, beef enchilada style), enchiladas, chimichangas, Spanish rice, fajitas
When Dare to Care showed up today, with the produce, we didn't get any potatoes or watermelons today. They brought us: green beans, corn, romaine lettuce and cabbage.
During the past week, Dare to Care has set up several stations around the metro area, and handed out a lot of potatoes and watermelons, along with other canned & boxed goods, for the people who had no power in their homes. So none of the ones who usually complain about what is brought to us, did any complaining today. It was really nice, not to have people complain about what was or wasn't delivered.
You all have a good afternoon, and I'll be back in later on this afternoon.
.....This weather is unbelievable....76.5 right now. And it's to continue. Still green around here.
Cool and clear here this morning - I don't think there's a cloud for miles!
Randy - I haven't checked the "color charts," but it is definitely getting bright up this way. Maybe we'll be spared any storms until well after the colors peak. All too often, just as things are getting really colorful, we'll get a windy, rainy storm that blows all the leaves right off the trees...
Kinda late, but that bearclaw still sounds good...

Update: Have been found by RWM and Matt within about 5 minutes of each other yesterday. (About 17 college students in yesterday's "Meet the Next Generation" presentation with various flavors of engineering students getting an eyeful of how much is possible as the current crowd of railroaders start retiring/ leaving in the next 5 years....Havre, MT's Chamber of Commerce would not have been happy about some of the jokes made at its expense, but beyond that it was a good show. Far more industry recruiters in the room than available students looking at a railroad career.)- Hope Matt saw some of this.

Good Tuesday morning, everyone. Pleasant morning here, with a temp of 67 degrees. Going to be a rather warm day, with a high in the mid to upper 80s.
Coffee, juices, hot chocolate and hot water for tea are ready; on the breakfast bar this morning: cereal, toast, bagels, bear claws, sausage & biscuit sandwiches and toasted BLTs.
For all you photographers who come in, how about, since Autumn is here, posting some of your autumn shots (with or without trains in them). And, since it's early in the season, autumn shots from previous years are more than welcome to be posted in here.
Have a good morning, everyone, and I'll see you after I get through with Tuesday Produce.
Good morning
