Cheers, Mike.

Actually since I really don't

Actually since I really don't know what apoogise means then I'm on rather thin ice here. At a glance it could be one of those sly dangerous words. Like cunctator. I thnik. :-)

Cheers, Mike.

Nah nah, that is a pic of a fat duck looking down at his webbed feet!!

And maybe with a touch of flatulence?

Oh there are many "iffy" words, take this one which brings tears to many a man's eyes at the thought ....

Hmmm Circumlocution means "the use of many words where fewer would do, especially in a deliberate attempt to be vague or evasive". I don't see how that could "brings tears to many a man's eyes at the thought" unless you typed the wrong word.

But if you say so it's okay with me, I'm just here to say Hi Everybody and that I am now winning!!

Thank you all for some good

Thank you all for some good laughs this morning.

I was planning to have waffles and eggs for breakfast, but I just remembered I have bacon in the fridge and it's badly in need of being cooked and eaten.

Meanwhile, here's a copy/paste of what I just posted in the Train thread at Seti.

Photo time!

As usual, they are very large (the smallest is 9.5M, most are 12M, 4928 x 3264), so I'm just posting links.

June 10: NKP765 on Indiana Harbor Belt, passing under BNSF at La Grange

June 6: Amtrak 6 without AMTK 156 leading, but with 670 in tow
closeup of 670
business cars on the rear of the train

April 24: I was in southern Wisconsin, so I stopped by the East Troy Electric Railway... a week before they opened for the season

April 9: EJ&E 669 pulling out the east end of Hawthorne Yard on the one-time Chicago Central & Pacific at Cicero Ave.
BNSF business train on track 14 and other private cars on 13 in Amtrak's Chicago yard. Across the river is the site of Grand Central Station, closed 1969 and demolished a couple years later. After all this time, a deal was just closed last month to develop the site with condos and such.
a Metra train shoves into Union Station from the Metra/BNSF 14th St. Yard, a.k.a. the Zephyr Pit. On the left used to be the Crook's Terminal warehouse. The train is about to go under the fairly new post office, with the old one behind it; a deal was also just made to redevelop that. The big black thing is the tallest building in the world North America, which to most of us will always be the Sears Tower. To the right was the Pennsylvania RR freight warehouse.

March 29: CP's Tec train is inspecting the Metra Milwaukee West Line, I forget where
METX 99 on a test run is about to blow through the same station
