I saw a derailed covered hopper getting re-railed yesterday, never seen a real live train wreck, though.
Did snap a phone pic of Portland and Western 3003 yesterday, slightly overcompensated for speed.

i'm totally amazed how good locals in taiwan are at singing. It's the culture of going to Karaoke that does it. People practice in private I'm sure, just to not embarrass themselves at the karaoke. Me? I shamelessly belt out off key My Way and Candle in the Wind and watch everyone's faces fall and I welcome the awkward applause at the end.

I wouldn't live in mainlad china either. too much pollution in the cities. I'm in Taiwan and I do miss London. I'm heading home to London next week for a vacation and I will ride my other favourite bike there.

I thought Dana was a company that manufactures straight axles for large trucks.
I wish, he is a lot more cautious, and when I say stop, he really does stop now. The big problem is in the morning we would walk out the back door, and he would run to the front yard before I could get there. Once he is there, the park across the street is full of squirrels. Most likely it was a squirrel that taunted him to run like he did. I didn't see it, but I did have the unfortunate pleasure of seeing the car hit him, however. From now on as far as Mr. B is concerned the front yard does not exist. If we walk out back through the alley, and then down the street to the park he is usually more calmed down by then, and more controllable. He is after all only a 1.5years old, and his man parts are still intact, so he is still a bit of a handful sometimes. First thing in the morning, he is full of energy.

Really enjoying the new car, a week in.
Getting great gas mileage, fun to drive, lots of compliments. What more could I ask for, besides Whoosh's approval.

I'd vote for whooooooshiepants before I would vote for *******, or Mittens. Just sayin....
Nah that aero stuff really does work. It would work better if v70 would loose his spacers though, and put a -17 deg stem on.
