I suppose I run the risk of offending all the New Mexican posters here if I agree that this seems amazing. Does anybody know anything this new commuter operation to Belen? At least, I'm assuming it's new. Is this a "highway replacement" operation like Tri-Rail in Miami was at first, or does New Mexico's DoT have some pro-rail folks?

Morning everyone. Tom, there's no much that's new, can't think of it
all to post here. Will let someone else post it.

Breakfast will be: bacon, eggs, toast, biscuits & sausage gravy,
sausages, grits and oatmeal. Gave Tom the last of the doughnuts
from yesterday. Sorry, folks.

Lunch/dinner will be hamburgers w/all the extras, french fries,
and banana pudding.

Anyone have any ideas for supper?

FOOD!

Good Morning all. A nice cup of coffee, and a doughnut please.

Sorry I haven't been around much lately. What's new?

During the dog's annual encounter with fall allergies I played on her love of cheese - one Benadryl, wrapped in sliced cheese disappears immediately. She now thinks Benadryl is a dairy product...[;)]

Might have to let the ribs age a day, since I don't have the throat for them right now. Even worse news--ice cream or popsicles don't soothe the problem area, either.

Yes, they found something...what they found, and what I have to do about it, are details to be learned later. I think I'll live.

Now, pointedly, to the hot topic: The Sabre Dance was originally a small portion of a ballet, Gayne, written by Aram Khachaturian, an Armenian composer. The ballet istself is one of those Soviet things in which communal work and the motherland are glorified. There are many other parts of the ballet that I like better. Anyway, the Sabre Dance, straight and original, was made into a hit popular record by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra (I think) and its conductor (I know), Arthur Rodzinsky.

I took the piano lessons and he got the knowledge! I am impressed! Wow - I didn't think anyone would know the composer and sure didn't know that it is a ballet. I grew up with the record and just always found it impressive! The spinning dishes weren't bad either!

Hot tea for Brother Carl! I sent him a memo on taking pills - wrapped in peanut butter or shoved down their throat and rub their throat until they swallow......dogs and husbands only! [:X]

Carl, locomutt and I hope you're feeling better soon! I put ribs and baked
beans away for you (where prying eyes won't get them). Would you like
some smooth vanilla pudding? Think that might help ease the throat a
little bit? Have some extra pudding left: I made some banana pudding
the homemade vanilla pudding, with vanilla wafers and sliced bananas,
and the meringue on top, browned, of course.

Joe, yes I do know the rest of the saying.

Montréal, October 13, 2004

Bombardier Transportation announced today that it received a firm order from the Mid-Region Council of Governments and the New Mexico Department of Transportation for the supply of 10 Bombardier BiLevel commuter rail vehicles, 6 cab cars and 4 coaches. Valued at approximately US$22 million, the contract calls for the design, manufacture and delivery of the new commuter vehicles. The new cars will be used to provide service between Belen and Bernalillo, New Mexico.

“The BiLevel vehicle developed in North America has become one of our flagship products because of its undisputed economical performance and shortest delivery schedule in the industry”, said William Spurr, President of Bombardier Transportation, North America. “This vehicle is a popular choice for today’s commuter rail industry because it is one of the largest-capacity cars in the world designed for maximum commuter passenger comfort”, added Spurr.

The first Bombardier BiLevel vehicle went into service in 1978. Since then, Bombardier has produced more than 740 BiLevel cars, which are currently operated by ten different public transit authorities in North America, enhancing its features over time.

The vehicles will be built at Bombardier’s Thunder Bay, Ontario, manufacturing facility. Production will begin in the coming months and first deliveries are expected in the summer of 2005.

In North America, Bombardier Transportation is the leader in high-speed rail, commuter rail, automated rapid transit and automated guideway transit systems. It also maintains two of the largest multi-level commuter fleets in Canada and the United States.

About Bombardier

I just did a Google search and Bombardier and CAF (?) won a contract in 2002 to build 405 rubber-tired subway cars for Mexico City (not bi-levels). There is no mention of any other Mexican order, and there certainly isn't an order from New Mexico.

[jkeaton]

Well, I'll post this here because I'm not sure where else to post it. It's about Bombardier's bi-level commuter cars, such as are used in Toronto, Vancouver, Miami, and San Diego. In today's Globe and Mail newspaper, in a business story about Bombardier selling it's Mexican freight car building operations to Greenbriar (actually Greenbriar's Mexican subsidiary, Gunderson of Mexico), there is a note that Bombardier has just signed a deal for 10 new bi-level commuter cars for GO (Toronto), and another deal for commuter cars for New Mexico.

New Mexico???? Where in New Mexico would there be commuter trains?

I'm wondering if the reporter meant Mexico, as in Mexico City, instead. Anybody know if New Mexico or Mexico City (or anywhere else) has recently ordered new bi-levels?

Mookie, now you know why I only have Correlle dishes at home: he (and I)
can't lose too many dishes, because they are hard to break!!

[Junctionfan]

I only know the Sabre Dance because of the Buffalo Sabres being so close. The others I will have to do some research on.

[Modelcar]

...Sabre Dance....was it associated with *** Contino {sp?}.....Ha.

[cherokee woman]

Okay, I've got the ribs and baked beans going. This menu was requested by
Carl, and we like to comply with good requests when we can.

Mookie, your menu suggestions are very good. They are added to the menu.

Along with the ribs and baked beans, we'll also have meat loaf and "smashed"
potatoes. The gravy is ALWAYS homemade. I don't like canned gravies, so
I don't use them. Leave that for the single guys.

Supper tonight will also be the above menu; I'm making enough to last for
the lunch and supper crowds. (What can I say: when you grow up on a farm,
you don't know how to cook small. That's why locomutt and I always have
leftovers for about a week around here.)

I won't get you styrofoam because Dan will just eat it.[:D][:D]

Any musical requests?

Snowfall - Manhattan Transfer
Canadian Sunset - Winterhalter
Sabre Dance - the original

mmmmm

[Mookie]

^~^

I'm Baaack....no more celebrating - way too much!

Have some items for future menus. I will have to make sure I help CW cook these - so she doesn't have to do all the work. However, I hate to cook. Do the math!

Pork roast and sauerkraut.

Do-Ball Soup - (that's the German in me. And if we have Czech people - it is a tiny dumpling soup)

Boiled dinner - either beef or pork with carrots, potatoes and quartered cabbage.

Lasagne is always good

Chicken Noodle soup - with (ahem) real relatives!

Meatloaf - smashed taters and homemade gravy

Sliced potatoes, eggs, ring sausage all cut up and fried up together - a real clean out the walk-in dish!

And....chef salads!

Time for a nap

I don't know too many people who DON'T like lasagna!! Actually, I can't
really think of anyone right now.

Yeah, I know: I'm in late tonight. For some reason, I'm not very sleepy
tonight. Bet when I do go down, I'll be sleeping late in the morning.

So I am leaving PLENTY of doughnuts and coffee cake for everyone's
breakfast in the morning. Don't know if NJ Mike will make it in, so I've
gone ahead and fixed some orange juice and it's in the fridge.

And guys: PLEASE LEAVE SOME DOUGHNUTS AND COFFEE CAKE
FOR MOOKIE TO HAVE WHEN SHE GETS HERE IN THE MORNING!!
