-> ->  RH> Sounds like time for body and fender work.  No contest.
-> 
-> -> You'll see his write up (probably) in this packet. It's gone from a 
mild
-> -> annoyance to really bad in less than a year.
-> 
->  RH> They can do that.  At least now he has a good excuse for an 
afternoon
->  RH> nap.
-> 
-> He will have an early morning one, has to be at the hospital by 5:45 for
-> 7:15 surgery. That means we leave here around 5; I'll be ready for an
-> afternoon nap when it's all over.
-> 
Forget the nap - more like 12 hours, straight up no chaser.  He can make up 
for potential lost sleep for now though - or at least that's the story.  

-> -> I think I recall reading about that. Not sure if any of the girls in
-> -> that dorm had any relationship with the firemen. Do know that some
-> -> (student) firemen were arrested for arson my senior year of school,
-> -> including, at least one of my classmates.
-> 
->  RH> Oof.  That happens once in a while.  A fire bug sets the fires so
he
->  RH> can put them out.
-> 
-> There was a case of that in and around where I grew up in the mid 70s.
-> Guys were caught and properly dealt with.

Fortunately.  They usually do mess up and get caught eventually.
 
-> -> Dad has contacted a buyer of train collections but his e-mail is 
messed
-> -> up right now so doesn't know if he's had an answer. Talked to him 
(dad)
-> -> briefly last night and found out that nugget of information.
-> 
->  RH> Can't help with the email, at least from here.
-> 
-> We can't either, need to talk to my brother and tell him what to do.
-> Then he can tell Dad what to do, but trying to tell Dad directly, over
-> the phone, is almost impossible.
-> 
I know the feeling; my mother has to yell for help from me sometimes and 
it's bad enough in person.
 
-> -> Everything in large quantities or scaled for reasonable? Probably a 
lot
-> -> of stuff that would scare the food cops now for being too high in
-> -> calories, fats, etc.
-> 
->  RH> They were normal size plates, or if anything a little smaller than 
the
->  RH> modern ones.  Railroad food was all cooked fresh, so the food
police
->  RH> ..tough noogies. :-)
-> 
-> Railroad police had to make sure things stayed at the right temps in the
-> fridges, etc. Actually, not railroad police probably but various health
-> departments.

Yep.  The manual actually has a lot of normal-sized recipes.  Only salad 
dressings and the like where you'd need bulk were large scale.  
 
->  RH> Sounds like home, literally.  My niece's pictures are on table tops
->  RH> though rather than walls, and there's an oil of my two cats above 
the
->  RH> fireplace where a large format photo of a Colorado train used to
be.
->  RH> I don't like it much, but it was a gift from a friend who thought 
I'd
->  RH> love it.  I like the live cats better, unless they're making pests 
of
->  RH> themselves.
-> 
-> Good intentions--did it capture the cats "personalities"?

Sort of - but she did get the kink in Louise's tail.  
 
->  RH> It's a great way to keep up with family, get coupons, etc.  I use
it
->  RH> to keep
->  RH> up with a lot of my church's missionaries, especially those halfway
->  RH> around the world.
-> 
-> I still don't want to get sucked into that; I don't have enough hours in
-> the day most days as it is.

I know the feeling, but I'm on line half the day anyway.
