Actually, MC, if all of the cars were like the one in the picture, the article was literally correct (the cars were BN, but, as you say, the train wasn't). Guess that doesn't help educate John Q. Public, though--and it shows the true depth of painstaking research these people undertake before presenting a story.

The mulch was recycled railroad tie butts. Still want some? Any takers?

Carl: Your comment is on the money. Still a little snarly over the garbage that initially went out over the 6-fatality incident at Granada. FRA and Highway Patrol finally stepped-in and shut up the trial lawyer sponsored muckrakers who put out misleading really bad info. (Mysteriously, the tone and content of the articles changed overnight)

Speaking of accuracy, went to lunch with Matt, Bob and Jason of Trains today. Huge part of their job is to check and recheck facts. One tiny insignificant mistake and 15 minutes after the magazines hits the street, the e-mail boxes are full with messages pointing out the error. (Or, they said,so it seems).

Maybe a big attraction of this hobby is the unending munitiae.

My two brothers and I went up for a game wednesday of last week. Beautiful day, mid-70's and sunny all day. Cubs won 4-1, Maddux had another masterful performance. Good times all around except for the trip home. It took an hour and 45 minutes to drive up there, just shy of 4 to get home.

For the dude who loves to mow grass, I have pleeennntttyyyy here for you to do if you want. lol

cw I'll make dessert tonite. I've got peach cobbler from the dutch oven and vanilla ice cream or warm Door County WI cherry pie with either vanilla or chocolate pie.

[blhanel]

Mmmmm... cherry pie with vanilla ice cream, please!

[CNW 6000]

blhanel comin' up...c'mon people! Eat up! I've got lots more to dish up! I'm not taking it home either...maybe mookie or cw can keep it here at the DD&CS.

[cherokee woman]

Good Wednesday morning, everyone! At least, I think it's morning. NWS radio started going off around 1:45 this morning.
Man, did we get the thunder, lightning, and rain!!

Coffee is on, juice is made, and breakfast is on. We've got turkey bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs,
sausage gravy, and hash browns this morning.

Dan, I'm sure Mookie and I can keep the rest of your dessert here in the Diner.

Think I'll pass - sounds like it might have a detrimental effect on the tulips. Speaking of tulips - they aren't blooming yet, but it looks like mine are going to put on a good show this year. I'm not a big gardner, but I have amassed a pretty good crop of them (along with some lillies and irises) in front of the house.

We don't usually end up with anything that bad for routine fire service news, but for something they deal with almost every day, the news folks still don't have a clue. A number of fire departments around have put on "mini fire academies" for the press, in an effort to help them understand (and thus more accurately report) what we do every day.

Time for my morning tea.

[JoeKoh]

good morning
quick breakfast and off to bed.one computer says people get 2 boxes other puter says they get 4 boxes hmmmm.
stay safe

Larry, the mulch should be free of bugs. [:o)] And

Congrats on your good news.


Well I got up at 7:15 to get the recycle and trash out. Here it is 9 now and no sign of them. BUT you know if I would have slept to 8:15 they would have been here at 7:45 GUARANTEED. There is some unwritten LAW about that you know.

Today is a much nicer day than yesterday's very high temps. [^] It is only 73 now with a high of 84 predicted. MUCH BETTER. [:)]

Our local food bank is citing the high gas prices for an increase of aid help needed for the lower middle class and poor people. It is a crime that CEOs are making millions in bonuses while working class people can't afford the basic necessities of life. Something is BAD wrong when working people have to choose between food or gasoline, and when retired people have to choose between food and their meds.

Believe it or not, my green grass is dying already because of lack of rain. We are about 4 inches behind normal for the year and finished something like 12 to 15 inches short last year. Small towns nearby are declaring a water emergency now and limiting car washes, and watering lawns.

Well I have house work to do. <Mookie is fishing and I have housework, what's up with that. [:o)] [:I] [8)] >

[cherokee woman]

Lunch today will be: beef stew w/cornbread. And along with what's left of
Dan's peach cobbler, I've made an apple cobbler and a blackberry cobbler
to go with it for dessert today. Made large cobblers, so we'll have enough
for dessert tonight.

[CNW 6000]

I'll grab some stew and cornbread to go please but hold the cobbler. I've still got some here!

Found out yesterday that my little sister may come up for the weekend from Ft. Knox where she and her husband are stationed. Got extra room in the hammock? LOL the house'll be a zoo!

[blhanel]

//mimics old Hee-Haw line-

Hey CW, what's for supper?[:D]

[JoeKoh]

will take some cobbler for work tonight.if you want to take a snooze in the hammock beware when the kitty returns.(and watch out for cake crumbs)
stay safe
joe

[cherokee woman]

Brian, supper will be:

fried chicken, corn on the cob, mashed taters w/milk gravy, homemade
biscuits w/honey, and for dessert, there'll be your choice of chocolate
cake, chocolate pie, coconut cream pie, banana pudding, of white cake
w/white frosting.

Wake me when it's ready... [zzz]

[CSXrules4eva]

OH thank goodness I realized a couple of days ago I missd the Corn on the Cob here in the diner but, thanks to the cook we're once again having Corn on the Cob. I'll take three please allong with some mashed taters w/milk gravy, and some homemade biscuits w/honey. I actually need two of those biscuits w/ honey. [:D] Please??

Well, I'm tired, tired, tired, tired and sick to death of professors that love to give out last minute projects. Sometimes I feel like telling some of them to a hem...stuff all your projects were the sun don't shine....but, I graduate in May so I better not start complaining too much. hehehehe

The high here in Philadelphia was 80 degrees.

[espeefoamer]

The temp. in L.A. hit the low 80s today. It is strange to be baking in the heat, and look up and see snow on the mountains.[banghead]

[cherokee woman]

Brian, supper's ready. As you can tell, by Sarah getting herself a plate! [:D][:I]

Espeefoamer, not exactly sure what our temp got to today: Walt and I had gone
down to the tracks. We saw three UP units, all three were SD70Ms. The weather
was really nice. It the weather tomorrow is as nice as today, I'll grill out on the
patio for both lunch and supper tomorrow.

Give me your requests for what you want, please.

[edblysard]

Take pie, coffee and switchman....first rate hook baiter.
Life is way to busy, (and expensive) today...

I'm b-a-a-c-k.....sans fish...

Did hook me a conductor/switch foreman however! Can't remember what the bait was, but will be reeling him in to visit the big city of Lincoln in October! And he is bringing his helper - Aimee.

Actually I think he wants to see the home of Big Red Football and the plains of Nebraska and the Star City and experience the trek across the plains of Kansas and UNL campus and, and......well, gee - there is just so much to attract him to this area.

Oh yes - and The Driver! [^]

I am exhausted!

^ - Yep - I can catch, clean and cook. Just not great on eating most of them. Fish I eat usually requires a can opener. But some of my best naps are when I get to go fishing!

Ed's coming to Nebraska, eh? Cool!

I woke up several times during the night to loud "booms", sudden flashes of light, and a liquid falling from the sky. And also noticed that someone washed my truck while I slept. [;)] NO pollen on it this morning at all. [:)]

<pinch> Was I dreaming? <pinch> Ouch, guess not. [:o)]

It is about 70 with only 76 predicted for a high. I sure wish 76 cents was our high for gas prices today.

Well it is Monday for me. [:(] Time to start the work cycle all over again. Joy Joy. [:(]

Well the mail just arrived so I am off to check it.

Everyone Take Care
