I like you guys. Just sayin'.
that it does - always fascinates my youngest that we can walk around the town square and visit the shops down Main - and the train is right there
We like you too. What happened to your nose? J/K
actually KSR in LaGrange is only medium security - max/supermax is in Eddyville (KSP)
We have a brand new train in downtown Atlanta. It has two cars. It is electric. It cost $100 million. $5 million annually to operate and hardly anyone rides it. It runs from the Ferris Wheel to MLK's church, the King Center and back. 100 million.
No. Typical young punk stuff.
Had a vehicle break down on the way back from watching the Cats play in Minneapolis in 96. It was a tire issue from ice. Blizzard conditions. We ended up getting a room in a small town and it had a bowling alley across the street. A few friends and I got drunk as started acting like idiots. The officers too us to a two cell jail and sobered us up and took us back to our hotel. Officer even hung out with us after. Very old school.
Lagrange is where I used to live (outside of it). I had a habit of drag racing and a big mouth. Basically I ran my mouth, got roughed up and ended up with charges of alluding police officers and resisting arrest.
I lied earlier too. I've been to jail in Louisville too. Typical young guys drinking and fighting and then not being as cooperative as you should with the officers.
Live and learn.
That must have been an organized exodus. Invitation only? Total surprise to me.
I liked those guys.
On my bucket list, too.
Morning D. Greetings from the shanty. Hope this day finds you well and treats you even better.
More coffee..............................

Don, I think you may be missing the big picture, buddy. Since that is an ELECTRIC train, it will prevent 1382 cases of asthma PER YEAR! As for the cost, fuhgeddaboutit, those are only numbers. The actual cost was paid for by the government. You got a lifesaving train FOR FREE!
A cool 55 degrees this morning. High of 73. No rain finally. We are saturated !
TGIF!
We're already at 72°F here in ATX. Looking at 85°F today + some soggy couple days ahead.

I just feel like a lost puppy.
That other thread has already been infiltrated.
It's all shit.

Starting a cook this morning, golf later this afternoon. Is there going to be a basketball season this year? Why is it taking so long to get here?
good morning
55° here - but the sun is out; hoping for no rain
Fun day ahead - going to pick up the oldest from CU for the summer. I so hope that boy got his dorm cleaned up
Marcus Lee is 87% sure he'll stay in the draft. Bless him, he's not going to get picked, but I wish him the best. Bolden... only thing I can figure is that is he is waiting to see if there will be a scholarship open. Briscoe looks to be returning - at least Cal seems to think so. We have a mighty fine class coming in, and some senior leadership. We'll see how it goes.
Random fun fact for the day:
In Mel Brooks' 'Silent Movie,' mime Marcel Marceau is the only person who has a speaking role.
have a great day, everyone

Hey BKO. Seems like old times.
During two strikes I drove trains. Was not good at it because I only did it for four days, but they were 15,000 net tons each.
I would tell you all some train tails but it would come across as bragging; however, I have ridden some trains and I have had those dinner rides at no expense.

Well shit Bert the train steers itself I figured conductors just blew the horn.
You bet. I am approaching six inches over the last five days.
I had the forward or reverse handle and the 1 thru 5 handle along with the breaks. I only broke it five times.
I told you I was not good at it.

Just popped in to say good morning to y'all. Is it me or is the 'D' a lot calmer now? All I need are some adult beverages and this can be the 'D' lounge!
![[cheers]](https://ct.yimg.com/mr/uploads/891/5628.gif "Cheers [cheers]")
Dining car and upper-deck sightseeing cars are always an experience. As Americans, we usually find it odd to plop down and sit next to strangers, but such is the norm in continental Europe.
Edit: I believe if one reserves a private cabin, booze is allowed. Just gotta keep the door shut.
BKO, WOW. Good to see you back. FCC.
Morning lady and gents and the poster with two eyes watching over us (Better Known as Uncle Jed). Very glad to enjoy this forum in peace. Much appreciated.
One of my favorite child hood memories involve the hobos who rode the trains and marked the houses where people were kind enough or in some cases just able to set an extra plate. I did short jaunts with them at times.
When my ship pulled into Portsmouth, England I rode the train to London and back many times. I would like to go back and do that while sober just once, but probably won't happen.

I don't live far from LaGrange myself. Never went to jail in the greater oldham county area. I remember watching a jail show once and they featured KSR and they were talking to a guy that had murdered someone. He didn't seem all that sorry about it lol.
1 I have never ridden on a train. I would love that Canadian Rockies excursion. Running out of time.
2 "The whole scene erupted into a bunch of yelling/cussing/arguing ..." A description of the D-League for a couple of weeks?
3 Welcome back BKO. I fully understand why you felt uncomfortable when you got on here. Totally unnecessary. I don't think it will happen with the present crew.
4 Suggestion for Jed: Let 55 back with a warning to not post in N.O.D. (8th grade boys) Let LEK back with a warning to not post in D-League. (old and in the way) Can't comply? A no more warnings permanent Permaban.

How goes, FCC?
Hey Austin, going pretty well. I must admit that at times life seems a bit overwhelming. Wife works 12 hour swing shift so I've got the load of 4 kids most of the time. It's all good of course, but my old but of 63 years gets wore out at times. FCC.
All I'm going to say about the prior situation is this: people have a right to feel the way they do; they have a right to their opinion, and their right to state said opinion. In the same vein, I had a right to either engage or withdraw. I chose to withdraw for several reasons, one of those being I had no reason to try to defend myself as I had done nothing wrong Also, I simply refused to be a part of something meant to degrade someone else, whether it was me, or another poster. There were a couple of other reasons, but not as important as the ones above.
Now - ready to move on and enjoy this new D-league. With all respect to you all - I'd like to consider the matter done and over with.
Leaving for CU now - won't be back until this evening. Hope all of you have a fantastic day.

Well-spoken, Bko.

BKO, glad you got to say that. Much needed. I just now noticed that some folks that posted here have started a new thread. I wish them the best. In all honesty talking about body parts, sex, and taking the Lord's name in vain made me very uncomfortable, especially the latter. Not passing judgement, as that's not my job. I'm just a lowly, humble country boy that enjoys good company and stories about life, past, present, future. That's all. FCC.
We have hundreds of common snails in our front and back yards.A lady in the Panhandle in Fla sent this picture into the paper.
Thinking about selling 'em on eBay in lots of 20 in the very near future.
