One of my therapists, is a pleasant young woman of Indian descent. She and her husband also of Indian descent, recently finished a vacation to Turkey, where they toured a museum of Pre Christian Era Roman artifacts found in archeological digs in Constantinople (Istanbul). Very interesting conversation. Not something we give much thought to here. The Romans were everywhere during their prime. Amazing what they accomplished way back then.
Hurricane Ian is a really nasty storm with winds measured at 135knt - 155knt. Hope those folks on Florida's Gulf Coast took this seriously. Due to the intensity, Phil and Curt are also going to feel the wind and rain from across the state. Headed toward GA, SC, NC then TN, KY, WV and VA by Sunday and Ohio Monday.

Big problem was keeping the damn thing on the track. Use was limited to cleaning switches at the Electric Loco and Diesel Shops and the Landlith Enginehouse.Was this the one used for a snowplow?
Louis: The paintings featured in the article are instantly recognizable. There are just some places that one cannot forget. I was last there in 1985.
