Thinking outside the box encouraged.
Way out west there's a man named
Ben, who perhaps has been under
the shadow of the Sonoran sun one
season too long. The result is akin
to throwing Dr. Seuss, Lewis Carroll,
J.R.R.Tolkien and Attila the Hun
together in one boxcar all at once,
Old Engine No. 9 running hard with
Dr. Emmet Brown at the helm! And
while the railroad may not have been
or isn't as it was, the focus is on the railroad that is, seeing that
it operates in a manner where no scale people should suffer
the loss of life, limb, property or dignity. Either way, the focus
here is on just keeping our cool, for today it is June 17th, and
Benny has yet to turn on his personal AC unit. To play with
trains, that alone is a fine privilege in and of itself!
