Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Not all icons are good.

Getting back to important matters. I think if Tampa Bay is an NFL team, then the Lions should be renamed The Lake Erie Lions. It makes sense.

You don't count. For it to be obvious people who know nothing about the train would be able to figure it out.

That was always a traditional custom for me, hanging out a bit on TG eve, started in 19XX when arriving home from college.

I do love the trains.

As a reward for being a UPN shareholder, I get the Union Pacific calendar every year. I still haven't opened the 2021 edition, maybe I'll check it out this evening...

That was super cool 10 years ago, but it's not $3k cool now. Hell, I'd rather get the Caledonia with 105 from Excel for $2.9k and upgrade the wheels later.

This sits in my office. Trophy from the railroad. There is a story behind the locomotive.
