Yep!!! I've actually been there a couple of times. (years ago)

Okay IIRC, one or two (or more) of us "Diner Denizens" are George Carlin fans.
He's to be here in Louisville in Nov. for a show. Doubt we'll be able to go, but if
any of you want to come this way maybe we can work something out.
Well, we did manage to get some rain this morning! Not sure if we'll have more, but the sun is now out, so maybe, maybe not.
SUNDAY DINNER is now on the warmer bar: Italian spaghetti w/your choice of: garlic Texas toast, garlic bread, or garlic breadsticks, along with a garden salad, corn, green sweet peas, and oven roasted new red potatoes, lightly seasoned w/Italian spices.
For dessert today, you have several choices: chocolate cake, apple, cherry or peach pie, and banana pudding.
Everyone have a good afternoon, and be careful out there!!
Quentin; I dont' recall Larry on all nite . But Joe Pine was the big star in mid 40s ,he was on all nite in different time zones. Mom & Dad had a huge Zenith floor radio, the one with the unblinking green eye . My sis had a Trans Ocean suitcase size that looked like green gator hide on it. Just touch the dial and you were a 1000 mi. away . It is nice to remember things from other folks on this page . All these years were packed in a trunk ,then opened up again years later. This has been very restfull for us here in Boise befor we head to SLC. again to load for Bismark. The Oak & maple ,birch are turning color. ~~~~~ We laid around this ol' town too long and we gotta travel on.Good to hear from a Hoosier friend . Respectfully, Cannonball & Shirl ( Jim & Shirley )
Y6bs evergreen in my mind
We'll address then to you both, Jim and Shirl....Don't want to slight anyone.
Agree, other folks bring up thoughts of a few years past and bingo, one remembers something at his own homestead...Fun.
Your mention of the Zenith....Brother came home from WWII and started to purchase new furniture to start up a place on their own and some of it was in our home before they got an apartment. One of the items was a brand new Zenith console, blonde in color...radio part pulled out on the right side and set at an angle {with the green eye and all Jim}....and on the top left was a record changer that pulled out...{straight out}, and down on the bottom, believe it was the right side was the speaker with the grill cloth over it, etc....and the left bottom was for record storage and it also contain the Zenith "wave Magnet" antenna...Actually shaped like a magnet...but covered in a red and black fabric.....it could be pulled out and placed up on a window for better reception, etc.....Can't remember....but I believe it was short wave, AM and {really}, brand new FM.....I've seen that same radio console model {many years ago}, used in movie scenes....It did really sound great for that era....
As we said at our Esso Station....Happy Motoring.
Oh, one more thing....Joe Pine....He had a late night TV show way back when.....and would get pretty nasty at times....Wonder if it's the same fellow you speak of being on radio a bit before that....I'd say it was.....

Quick little question: does you local town now have quiet zones for train crossings? Here in Sacramento, CA they've done major upgrades to the crossings on the former Western Pacific (now Union Pacific) tracks that run between 19th and 21st Streets through downtown, which has allowed UP to no longer need to sound the horn before going through every grade crossing.

Yes it's true: I am not a Packer Foamer or is it Fan? Nope it's Foamer. I will be wearing black most of the week (tomorrow for sure!) and hoping that Reid and his squad come back in better fashion next week. They basically beat themselves.
I heard that a WC SD35 is in Neenah this week. I'll have to keep a close eye out for it.

Stopped at UWOSH this afternoon on the way back from the family farm to drop a couple of odds and ends for Matt. Not many students in sight, but stepped out of the car just in time to hear loud cheering from the open windows of the dorms.
Foamer is probably correct, but you didn't hear that from me. My brother is an owner.

Deshler Ohio-crossroads of the B&O Matt eats your fries.YUM! Clinton st viaduct undefeated against too tall trucks!!!(voted to be called the "Clinton St. can opener").

.....Not as hot.....mostly sunny during this week with just a chance of a bit of rain later in the week.
A comparison to how dry we've been this season: 2006 mowings to this date=44 This year {2007}, to this date: Mowings=30 so far....
Looks like my grass is trying to recover a bit now since we've had a little rain here and there, but not near enough yet....So mowing is in store today....Even if just to even it up.
Is it Monday........Have to look at my watch to see what day it is....Problem caused by retirement.
Mookie, I noticed your low temp in Lincoln, this morning! Would have loved to have that here this morning. We still have a chance for afternoon showers for today and tomorrow; so, that means it's still fairly humid around here.
Posting the lunch menu a tad bit early: have to go out for awhile, and I won't be around at 11:30, 12:30, to post today's lunch menu.
The warmer bar will still have breakfast for those in the midwest and west coast, along with the following for those in the EDT time zone: leftover Italian spaghetti w/garlic bread, garlic Texas toast, and garlic breadsticks, and there's still pizza left from Saturday night.
Have pork chop abracadbra in the Crock Pots for supper tonight; please let me know what veggies you all would like to have with the pork chops, and I'll make sure they get fixed, and ready for anyone who wants to take containers home or to work for your suppers tonight.
Larry,
Thanks for the welcome. I have enjoyed reading the D.D.& C.S. thread for sometime, but didn't have anything to contribute until last week. I apologize for the typo that said that I would be going to S.E. Michigan. My brother actually lives in Bridgman which is in S.W. Michigan. His house is only about 1.5 blocks from the CSX (formerly Pere Marquette) line, so I get to see several trains each day, including Amtrak which runs both north and south daily on the route from Grand Rapids to Chicago, when I visit there. Last spring we drove to Michigan City and took the South Shore into Chicago. That was an interesting trip.
John
Joe,
Thanks for the information about Hicksville. I will check it out the first chance that I get. Have a great anniversary! We will eventually cross paths at one place or another.
Still have the lunch out on the warmer bar, and have added the pork chop abracadbra w/the following veggies: green beans, corn, creamed potatoes, broccoli, brussels sprouts, and applesauce w/a little bit of brown sugar and cinnamon added.
All are welcome to look under the counter, and get to-go containers, if you would like to take supper home with you for tonight.
//grabs to-go container
I'll take some of that home tonight- the weather here isn't very favorable for grilling chicken, which was the plan, unless you like soggy grilled chicken or a smoke-filled garage.
I snucked in and found one little piece of chocolate cake.

Quite alright! Oddly, I lived a short distance from a Pere Marquette line myself - CSX's current Saginaw Sub. Doesn't see as much traffic as it used to, though. Last time I was there I didn't see a single train on it....
....Boy you "guys" really get over the road....Almost makes me wonder how you figure were you are when you wake up in the morning...Must make it a lot more doable with the both of you running the rig....
6 Saturdays and 1 Sunday....Well, you know it's almost that way....I really do forget what day it is sometimes during the week. Retirement will do that to ya....
Sunny side up and happy motoring.....

Next time you're in town you should let me know but that's your call.
I won't hold being an owner against your brother. Everyone has moments of weakness! LOL!
Good Tuesday morning, all! Looks like it's going to be a nice day!! Coffee is ready, and I've made fresh oj, oj/tangerine, pineapple juice, and tomato juice. Also brewed fresh tea for iced tea, and have more tea brewing for breakfast for hot tea drinkers.
On the breakfast/warmer bar, you will find all the regular breakfast items, along with some western omelletes (sp?), and pancakes and waffles.
Today is my last day to do Produce Tuesday for awhile, and I think I'm glad to be taking a break from it. Of course, some of the people I will miss; but it's going to be very nice, not having to worry about each week for awhile. Will turn my cards and sign-in sheets over to someone else this morning. Going to let her start calling out the #s this morning, so she can start getting used to it.
You all have a good morning, and see ya later!!
hmm, mmm, hmm....
@
Since it's such a nice, cool day, for lunch today, I've made a big ole pot of beef stew w/cornbread, and a big ole pot of chili!! Everything is ready, and on the warmer bar.
We had 80 people show up for Produce this morning. They delivered salad mix, yellow peppers, corn, green beans, and potatoes. They also brought 25 watermelons. So only the first 25 customers got a watermelon.
I got several well wishes from some, after they realized that this was my last day, until about the first of November, to be around for Produce Tuesday. But, with people griping and complaining about this and that (as people everywhere will do), maybe I'll get adjusted to not being there on Tuesdays!! I do know that after five years, I do need a break from it!! My nerves are about shot!!
You all have a great day, and I'll see ya later!!
