    I'll be going to Trainfest at State Fair Park in West Allis(Milwaukee County) on the 12th. SWMBO couldn't get time off from work(go figure- it's a weekend in mid-November and she works at Wally World), so Mom is willing to drive me there. They didn't hold this show the past 2 years because of...

    My wife's paternal ancestors were Pomeranian. One of her maternal lines comes from Prussia & the other side from Mecklenberg. Everywhere I look in family tree, I keep finding more & more Germanic roots.

    Louis- my dad(GRHS) believed in "Roses Days", as in take time to smell the roses. They would routinely take a weekday off from work to spend quality time together. It could be going to Longwood Gardens, Lancaster County or even canoeing in the Pine Barrens of South Jersey. When I still drove, I...

    Dave- my uncle is, too. His orders were changed so "last minute" that they had to pull him off the stairs. He was never "boots on the ground- in country" , so he had to go through so much red tape to be able to collect his VA benefits, as a Vietnam-era vet. Uncle Sam did not want to admit that...

    In rural parts of OR, they do have some self-service stations. The part I hated about NJ's full service law was if you were at a larger station, like a SuperWawa with 12+ pumps, sometimes you could tell the attendant what you wanted, go in, grab a cuppa coffee & a bagel, come out and still have...

    Thanks for sharing these, Tom. I've seen it in the distance, driving from Oconomowoc to Richfield, but never that close up. Looks beautiful with the fall colors.

    I agree. I have a separate play list for showtunes & I have several ALW songs saved, like Music Of The Night, Memory and Hosanna. When our HS band took a trip to England back in 1988, the bus tour guide pointed out his London home. When we saw Me And My Girl on London's West End, Phantom was...

    That's what happens when you take the tinfoil off your head. Big Tech(& Big Brother) starts reading your mind- often before you even think the thoughts that you thought you thunk.

    yes, Troy & Terry- inquiring minds what to know these things. 😂 Tom O- Indian Summer? That was a classic 90's film starring Alan Arkin, Bill Paxton, Diane Lane, Kimberly Williams (pre-adding the Paisley name) & an ensemble cast of mid-20's to mid-30's returning to the Canadian summer camp of...

    Since you mention hockey, if San Jose & Winnipeg get into a fight, do they proceed the fight with a song and dance number?

    James- wish I could go back to Trainfest this year, but the wife couldn’t get that weekend off(she works at Walmart). Hoping to be able to go to Mad City show in February in Madison. Louis- sorry to hear about Mom. Dad had the same desire when he was in end stages with cancer. He wanted to go at...

A lotta wind damage(the feed...

    Willie- speaking of time zones, a friend from high school, who lives in Sarasota, loves to go up to the Panhandle for New Year’s Eve. She goes to Port St Joe(EST) to ring in the New Year the first time & then drives to Mexico Beach(CST) to sing Auld Lang Syne again.

    Willie- my cousin lives on the outskirts of Punta Gorda. She took a direct hit. She hunkered down in her shed(she lives in a mobile home) & her horses rode it out in the pasture(safer than they would have been in a barn). She put the animal feed in her car, which was a good thing, as the only...
