…while all you Eskimos (am I allowed to use that word? It’s hard to tell anymore) while all you igloo dwellers (is that ok?) are bracing for a huge winter storm. You can have it and good luck. Didn’t Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express take place on a train buried in the snow? Well Frederick E sent me a great video the other day:
Tomorrow, if I can remember, I’ll tell you a joke that this reminds me of.
Choo choo trains are neat. Wife and I are members of two railroad historical societies. One thing to consider is that in times of stress the trains are normally the last thing to shut down
In response to all the train comments, when I was a little kid my mother used to take me on a trolley in Wilmington DE. Then they tore up the tracks. Even then I knew it was a huge mistake. In Europe they still have trains that take you almost anywhere you would care to go. What we need in this country is public transportation, and by that I mean rails. I don’t drive back and forth between florida and D.C. any longer. I take the Autotrain. It goes between Sanford FL, just northeast of Orlando, to Lorton VA, just Southwest of D.C. I’d travel much more if rail travel were convenient.
Cool video. My favorite was the person that just stood there and got knocked over.

Fun Video. Reminds me of my Minnesota days. That’s why I’m in Arizona.
