    Come on back to the caboose and get a cup of coffee [or sweet ice tea] - Part VII

    age Sir James, you MAY be right in that old age sucks, but it is MUCH, MUCH better than the alternative. I'm tickled to be able to plant my feet on the floor each morning, get vertical, and my body is still warm.:wave::wave: Lynn

    Sir James .. I know what you mean about the eyes. Not only are mine not as good, but my hands are not as steady either. To tell you the truth I have not found anything good about getting older. There is a good thing about getting older, it's better than the alternitive. Lynn

    Am I getting to old?

    Old Timers I find it rather difficult to pick a time, or era, or locale, steam or diesel. I was born in 1930, grew up in a town of 1 store, 1 tavern, and 2 churches. Gravel road and barefoot all summer, a 2 room school with 8 grades. In those depression years, when I wanted a train for...

    Dan's Layout

    Picture # 7, with a rural type road next to the tracks, with more tracks to the right and lower; that picture blew my mind. Possibly, when you "sowed" the grass, some of it got on the road.

    Caboose? I dang near, just about, almost, but not quite believe that if they got that there caboose here in this tunnel, (or whatever, wherever we are), the possibility of a mirthful thought, a bit of joviality, or maybe even a guffaw may break up all the solemnity therewith. Then, since we...
