Mookie (aka Jen)
Posted by zardoz on Monday, August 4, 2003 9:59 AM
Since Jen claims she is going to post a picture eventually, how about a little contest to see who can guess the closest as to how she appears.
[;)]
I am always wrong when I try to do this, but it might be fun to see how others visualize her. I would guess 5'9", medium-length brown hair, 160#, smiles alot.

and who is going to know the truth - if none of you has ever met me? Or were some of you the guys that waved at me this weekend while I was watching trains? If so, you guys are really old! You are right - you are wrong....

If I post a picture, don't look. I think so far we have a vote for and one against. What's a girl to do!

[8D] Good picture - waiting for the railroad to call?

I weigh enough to keep me firmly planted on the ground!

Actually, from the pictures I have seen - it is the "older" and "younger" generation that is posting. Where are all you middle-aged people like Ed! (Sorry Ed for the middle age, but since I am older than you - I can get away with it!)

....waiting for the railroad to call...? Actually that is a scanner and we are taking a break at the Trail Head from bike riding and there is a paralleling railroad [NS], next to the Trail, and maybe I can 'hear" when a train may be coming by.

Kev,
What will we do with you now?
In high school, or prep school, what ever you guys call the last part of your primary education, did you ever have to read a book called "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee?
Ever see the movie?
No, wait, its in black and white, so I would guess not.
And betting Gregory Peck doesnt ring a bell?

If you get the chance to rent the movie, I strongly suggest you do, it may be one of Mr Pecks finest performances ever.
It includes the first screen performance by Robert Duval, who plays Boo Radley, a slightly retarded man.
A very powerful story, told by a lady who grew up in the south when black people were not even allowed to shop in some stores, or be outside after dark.

If you had been a conductor back then, you would have made them ride in the baggage car, or the jim crow car.

It may be one of the most damming, and enlighting movies you ever see.

Remember, there are some people who will do what they know to be true and right, even when it will cost them dearly.

Not all of us down south are rednecks.
Stay Frosty,
Ed
