Excuse me Pupster... what are staddle stones? Are they the same as hitching posts, or gate stones? There is a set in the front yard too..and they all have rusted metal rings and hings..

[grannie9]

I think I meant hinges.. lol

Gran, staddle stones are those mushroom shaped things on which farmers put beams with which to hold grain up off the ground and safe from vermin. Those posts you have look like the bases which held upside down saucer shaped stones. Appearance of the whole thing was that of a mushroom. (Staddle Stones)

Of course some folks always go too far ...

Great flower pics, Val.

Very interesting Pup.. Love that old barn. Now I recognize the staddle stones..but I think these are too high and like I said they have big rusted rings and hardware on them.. I have an old pen and ink drawing of the house that I found down cellar. I believe the front stones are in it.. The way the old road was situated, I think they are combination gate posts and hitching posts.

[grannie9]

Please list them.. I want to be thorough.. ;)

Idaho State Trooper Helps Stop Runaway Train

BOISE -
An Idaho State Police motorcycle cop chased a runaway train and jumped aboard to bring it to a halt Thursday afternoon near Boise.

No one was hurt in the noon-hour incident. But numerous officers had to hurry from intersection to intersection in the Treasure Valley's western suburbs to block traffic.

Police say the locomotive was first reported loose and rolling downhill at about 40 miles an hour in west Boise.

As the 400-thousand pound engine rolled out of town, Corporal Duane Prescott raced his motorcycle to a railroad crossing in Nampa and waited for it.

The train slowed as it approached Prescott and a railroad employee. But it was still going about 20 miles an hour.

The first time, Prescott missed the jump. But he hopped back on his bike and gave chase. He raced passed the engine, then slowed down, threw his bike down and jumped again. This time he made it.

An train engineer talking to him on the police radio helped Prescott bring it to a stop.

Investigators are looking at how the train broke loose.

The only damage was to Prescott's motorcycle, which was scuffed slightly when he jumped aboard the engine.
