See everyone later.

I'll take a big bowl of beef stew and cornbread right now.
For those of you on the east coast, I've got another round of beef stew, cornbread, and the two pots of chili (medium & hot) are now ready for your eating enjoyment. For those on the west coast, there will be plenty for you all to enjoy in 1 1/2 to 2 hours from now (ET).

Good evening folks!
I find it hard to believe that it is only two weeks until Christmas vacation. Where does the time go?
This weather here in Omaha is just totally depressing. Not a flake of snow since late October and the next two weeks look mild and snow free. This just isn't how winter is supposed to be! On the other hand, I suppose everyone in Missouri and Illinois never want to see a flake of snow again in their lives.
I hope everyone has a good week and Mookie, I hope you are feeling better soon!

OK, I'm back. Spent today running some errands and recovering from the "Polar Express." Dealing with the nearly 800 riders wasn't bad (although I only worked half the train, so saw about half of them), but I've lost my "sea legs," so by the end of Sunday night, the ol' legs were suffering. Walking up and down a rocking train is more tiring than one would expect....
But the whole operation runs like a well oiled clock - this may be my first year, but the RR has been at the PE thing for several years now.
Since I'm dressed in a vest & tie, plus a RR hat (the conductor's-style hat will be a Christmas gift), I'm a "conductor" to most of the patrons, and will be featured in a lot of scrap books.....
Sunday several of us got together to fix up some of the decorations at the station, plus enjoy the parade of trains CSX and Amtrak provided. A 100+ car freight blowing by at 60 or so is impressive.
Believe it or not, the shortest train we saw was about 5 auto racks behind one unit. We have no idea what that was about. There were cars in the racks...
Being a glutton for punishment, I'll be back down there next weekend... And the following Saturday as well - the last runs of the season.

Dan, you can leave the kitty's milk, and the chocolate with me, on the counter. I'll take very good care of it, until the kitty gets in here! It'll be safe, with me (well, maybe a little bit of chocolate may disappear
Coffee is brewing, hot chocolate and hot tea are ready, and on the warmer bar, you will find: turkey bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, homemade biscuits & sausage gravy, some nice warm bagels, and hash browns. OH!! Almost forgot: the juice is freshly squeezed and ready, also.
Everyone have a great day, and I'll be back when I finish with the Produce Tuesday crowd.
Dan - purrfect! Thank you mon ami.
Tree - I just love a man in a uniform. (Yow) I put a little extra fur on your pant legs to help dress up your uniform.
CW - still have the plague, so will disappear with my cof syrup and find a quiet box to crawl in to nap. Ugh!

I'll snag some hot breakfast...then hide by the fireplace. It's a balmy 7 degrees plus a wind of 20mph today. BRRR! Days like today make me love my lifeguarding job: it's 83 degrees at the YMCA pool!
Yay! First post on p. 882!

This time of year and Chocolate. Mooks can have my ration.
....something about an Amtrak derailment in CA in 1990 where Amthrax hit a tank truck full of Hershey's syrup at a private crossing not that far from Fresno. About the third day, the syrup had totally spoiled and we were still walking around in it and the dreaded blue amcrap from the lavatories...
Think I'll disappear now, before the lunch crowd hits
Chicken covered in Chocolate....hmmm....I don't think I have ever tried that.
MC - MY chocolate never makes it to the 3rd day!

Hershey chocolate?!?
HERSHEY CHOCOLATE?!!?!!?
I'm originally from Chocolate City USA (Burlington, WI, home of Nestle chocolate) and you order HERSHEY chocolate?!!!
I'm offended, especially with my birthday coming up in a week.
Anyway, is 14 here in the Mad City, up from a low of 3, and the wind make it feel like -5. Will be in late night for some dinner.

Hershey's is alright, if you like a little chocolate with your paraffin.
The air conditioner is working overtime today But really, I have a nice sun room that on a day like today, the room temp would easily get above 80 degrees if I did not have the blinds closed.
I think I'll pass on the chocolate. I'll have PB&J for lunch though.
randy-my apologies.we might have to get some from there too.just depends how much cw wants to use for the cake.and we are defineately going to need alot of fire crews on standby!!!

Joe and Randy, I've ordered chocolate from BOTH places, so don't worry about it! We will start decorating for the special ocassions coming up, both in a couple of days, one day (at least) next week, and someone else on New Year's Eve. We'll be soing b________ decorations, along with putting up the Christmas decorations tomorrow, Wednesday night. So I'll be needing several good souls to help, please!!
Now, since we had sandwiches for lunch today, tonight's supper specials will be: what's left of the beef stew and I'll make fresh cornbread, and the chili. There will also be grilled cheese sandwiches to have with the chili.
Desserts tonight: apple pie, blueberry pie, pecan pie and chocolate meringue pie.
Hmm... Awfully quiet in here this evening!
Today was balmy compared to the last few days. We made it all the way to 55 degrees.
As for chocolate, I'll take any kind of chocolate, Hershey or otherwise.
Good Wednesday morning to all! Coffee is on, juice is made, and hot chocolate, and hot tea are ready, also. Regular breakfast menu is on the warmer bar, so help yourselves.
Everyone have a great day, and remember to be careful wherever you go today!!

Joe, bring Matt on in, and he and I will get started!! He's such a good helper in here, and I'll be sure to give him "dibs"!!
Well, if anyone is coming in for lunch, you will find: homemade cream of tomato soup, beef vegetable soup, and the following sandwiches: PB&J, grilled cheese, and ham & cheese sandwiches.
Message From:The Cook
I'll have the grilled cheese with a bowl of beef vegetable soup, please.
It's nice to see that at least some of you are recovering from the storm.
Afternoon everyone....
Had a big BOOM in Milwaukee this morning at the Falk Corporation, they had a propane leak and while they were evacuating, the propane tanks went up, taking most of the buildings with it. 25-30 injured, some serious, mostly from flying/falling debris, and one person is missing. Fire is now out, everyone else was evacuated to Miller Park (just next door). My thoughts and prayers are with them today.
Other than that, quiet around here today, is 27, and temp will be falling to about 5 tonight, and the wind will pick up. To be very cold the next few days.
