Fer sure, BG. You've heard of George Jones? My stage name is Forged Tones. Heh. I sound like two cats screetching in the night. When I sing "Wreck of the Old 97" it sounds so real all the ambulances in town head for the railroad track.

When I sing "Eastbound Freight Train" all the hobos start running for the boxcars. :>

Good job with the fund-raiser, BG. Of course a big, big thanks to you and the crew for keeping this liberty train on the tracks!!!!

[RottiBiz]

Thank you, 68 grunt!

Good morning, Fiddlstix.

Congratulations to Texas on another win! What is that -- four in a row?

Thanks to an old rancher from Texas who donated in the name of those good FReepers who cannot afford to donate.

Thank you, old rancher from Texas!

A couple of weeks ago, we adopted a Rottweiler from Texas.

Does that qualify me to be an honorary Texan?

I sure hope so!!!

[Fiddlstix]

Does that qualify me to be an honorary Texan?

HOBOS??????? LOL!!!!!! Whooooooooooo boy. THAT'S a word I haven't heard in a long time! I wonder how many of our kids even know the word...

Hmmmmmm.......she says....hmmmmm

[Fiddlstix]

Actually Hobos are still around. They have a national organization, a website and everything. They even have a national hobo convention every year.

"I have suggested to Jim before that he take the site down to drive home the point for some who need it. He just laughed it off"

Perhaps you have no idea how many times Jim and John have sweated bullets when the site has gone down, or how many emergengy trips John has had to make to San Jose to wake the servers up. I don't suspect that he found a great deal of humor embedded in the idea ;o) (and you have a cruel sense of humor!)

:)Thank you old rancher from Texas.

I was not making light of the situation. I was reacting to some tin foilers who opined that the outage was an attempt to gin up the Freepathon.

Sorry for whatever it was I said that out of line

[editor-surveyor]

"Out of line?"

Nah, you just have a cruel sense of humor :o)

[Eastbound]

I didn't ride them long enough to be a full-blown, cross-country hobo, but I've slept in a boxcar or two.<p.

Back in the mid-'30's 'me and my brudders' (obligiatory Chicago accent) used to hop the slow-moving freights heading to the South Water Market on the south side. Uhhh.... the watermelon cars were our favorite. And of course, we just sat there and looked at all those melons and didn't never ever touch a one of them, right?

[Fiddlstix]

Ya got me beat. LOL. We rode the freights around the yard a little bit.......till we got caught and were sent packin' fer home. LOL. That 'bout all I ever did.
