If this was a cartoon...along the lines of "The Roadrunner,"...why...those Saguaro would bend over sideways after she passes them, due to slipstream alone!
Love it.
Sorry couldn't resist, my father used to say that phrase all the time,
If they did that now, most parents (I defiantly would not be one of them) would be all up in arms, and probably try to sue someone!

If necessary, we will pass the hat, and come bail you out!

She's rolling so fast the background is blurred! In fact, this is probably the fastest ol' 131 has ever gone under her own power.

Good morning all. Although the temperature is 6c, the rainfall is icy cold.
Oldest grandson is visiting after school. Will he be playing 'Spies' or 'Superheroes'? Whatever, he will 'spin it out' for as long as possible.
For some reason when the grandchildren visit, they do not want to rush home after.
Coffee time, then into the train room.
Back later

Good morning, all!
Another copy of yesterday. More morning freezing drizzle. Schools have all cancelled again for today/ Kids get yet another 4-day weekend. They haven't been in school an entire week since before Christmas break. At this rate they will be going till the middle of June!
Have safe day everyone!

Way to make the kids soft and dumb. When i was growing up in Poland, every kid walked to school; sun, rain, snow, freezing cold.

What, me worry?
Morning all,
33° and fog\drizzle, high later of 38° (maybe). A repeat of yesterday but a degree or so warmer.
Well, got my W2 yesterday and already had the wife's social security 1099 and the 1099 from the bank on interest they paid us, got the taxes done last night. We're just waiting for the IRS and state to begin accepting them. It really wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but next year, I'll have 2 banks paying us more than $10 in interest. Refund smaller this year, but we made less money and had less withheld. Bonus is that we are are more ahead due to the wife saving a portion out of her SS to have for the tax man, but now won't need. Now we'll have some surprise bill pop up...always do.

We were at least able to take the bus as we were mostly rural until I hit HS, when we finally moved to town when we moved to Kansas. Walked my freshman year as the Junior high (7th, 8th and 9th) was 2 blocks away.

We rode the bus, but we had been known to push the bus on occasion and once helped our driver put chains on the rear tires!

Good Morning All!
35F @ 89% with sketchy clouds. Weather guessers say 43F bout 1500 with zero wind. Snow pile has diminished somewhat so far, more today. I like the warmer part. Ok, so I just got another 'winter weather warning' on phone. What is with that?
Kids here go to school pretty much everyday. Well, when there is big ice on the roads, they close it down siting safety. Guess that it makes sense.
Have been working in the Train Cave mornings although doing putter around stuff that needs done. Seems to be always something. Things will get going better.
Was driving around that other day and saw my Ex. Funny how "I'd hit that" meaning changes over time.

Luck! I thought Ziply bought all of Frontier. That happened about 2 years ago here; after that you had to get rid of your rotary phone.

The same here. From the age of 4 to 16 it was at least a 30 minute walk to the schools I attended. Then walking to St Aiden's College, Durham University, then Queen's College, Oxford University. Not once was any closed because of the weather.
