[Texas Lawdog]

We have DART in Dallas. They run trains as well as buses. The Moose has ridden the trains to Dallas from the suburbs and has been pleased.

[Arcey]

Oh my. It's worse than I thought!

At 9 a.m., A man holding a coffee cup boarded the train headed into Norfolk from Newtown Road.  (the Newtown Road station is IN Norfolk)

“Sir, you can’t drink on the train,” a Tide (Tide, the name of the too-too-twain) Guide said. “Please exit.”

“Oh, I can’t?”

“Please exit!”

“I will if you’ll let me ask a question!” the man exclaimed.

They stepped off the train together. Another Tide Guide shook her head.

“Attitude,” she said.

NO COFFEE?!?!?!?!?!?!? Why, that's Un-American! The socialist! The infidels! The Gestapo! The, the, the GOOBERMENT!!

BLASPHEMY!!!!

[Leo Tanner]

Thanks fer Cawfee.

When I was in Fremont we had BART.  Could ride it ta get ta Frisco er Oakland.  Ma folks were up ta visit an we took a ride.  Quite the assortment of folks on that train.  Most innerestin was this gal that looked like a strait A college student got on in Fremont.  She used the train as a changing room all the way ta Frisco an walked off a full blown lady of the evenin'.  Dad couldn't balieve what he jus' saw.

WM, we was blessed ta have the room.  Ended up with 5 baskets by the end of the day an had corn an carrots with a steak fer supper.

No eating or drinking on the too too twain Arcey. They are paying off duty PD to ride the twain some in uniform some plain clothes to enforce those as well as a ton of other ordinances they passed just for the too too. I understand that officers in the 1st patrol are going to be told to leave their vehicles at the Ballentine Park and Ride and ride the too too twain to court. I wonder how many cars will be broken in to and the laptops stolen the first week.

[Sod Buster]

No eating or drinking on the too too twain Arcey.

Yup!
Fawn Hall (ex Ollie North sec'y & HS classmate of mine) got in trouble eating a banana on the DC  METRO train several years ago.  No food or drinks.

[Leo Tanner]

Next thing ya know they won't be lettin news papers on board, guess they would rather have folks drivin about drinkin coffee an readin text messages. 

[Arcey]

Just got back from errands.
Run inta a youngun it the shop yestitty. Asked 'im whut they were payin' the off-duties. Said he didn't know, had ta be one the 'chosen few' ta get it 'n he weren't.

Seen all the new ordinances. Some on the media board didn't unnerstan why it had ta be codified ya couldn't have certain bodily functions on it. Cuz if ya don't, they will. Wunner whut's gonna happen when someone gets motion sickness 'n hurls? Who does the clean up?

Rode past the Newtown station. Parkin' lot's full, 266 spaces. HRT made a deal with a big church 'cross the road fer o'erflow. Big crowd there 'n TV trucks 'n all. On the way back I went ta the next stop west. Plenty ah parkin', lot prolly 60-70% full. 25 er so folks waitin' ta go east fer a mile er so 'til it dead ends. Maybe a dozen waitin' on westbound. No news crews there. Cuz, I doubt there's that many at Ingleside, prolly none at NSU 'n it picks back up at Kirn. Face ta face I'll tell ya who told me city employees would eventually lose their downtown parkin' permits.

Fawn Hall 'n a banana.... Interestin'....

[Major E A Sterner]

At least the Metro in D.C. is clean unlike the nycity sub(standard)way

[Silver Creek Slim]

Only choo-choo I want to ride on is fueled by coal or wood.

Or the "narrow gage" steam/coal from Silverton/Durango Colorado line in Sept. Got some pics I'll post when I uncover 'em
The aspen colors were just gorgeous. Rode in the "last car" 'cuz I wanted to "see the snake" thru the mountains...an yeah I hate folks breathin' down my neck...My face wuz full 'o coal but I didn't care
Roasted an' peeled 30lbs of "hatch chilies" from New Mexico taday. Sister an' mom were'nt too happy with the 2 hr job...
They're still stingin' the fingers from the heat...Great in everything... pot o'chili, rellanos, tamales, casseroles, chili verde, colorado, soups and most other "heat dishes".... got them roasted skins peeled and bagged for the freezer. Us crazies on the west side eat heat and lots of it

[Leo Tanner]

You got that right.  The hotter the better, I'm hopin our peppers live, with the landlord runnin em over with the hose every time he goes out.  Bless his heart but he outta step away an let Lil do her business.

Gonna run the fat lady out ta Pungo inna while. One the better farm stands closes for the season tamarrah. Wanna get some good stuff if there's any left.

Slim, the too-too-twain is a coal burner. The 'lectricity it runs on comes from a coal burnin' power plant. Point that out ta the greens, the greens love the too-too-twian, 'n they'll change the subject er fall silent, one the two........

[Leo Tanner]

Yawn...thanks fer the Cawfee.

Ain't life grand, taday opens Hemp fest.  Glad it is a ways down the line, don't know if'n I could stand that many idiots gatherin in my town.  Nice a the local news ta give em plenny of coverage.  I'd stop by tammara but I'll be in church so I guess I gotta pass. 

[Texas Lawdog]

Leo, I figger that there will be a lot of "Old Hippies" at the Hemp Fest. Arcey, I live about halfway between Dallas and Fort Worth, the temps vary a couple of degrees between the towns. It's hot everywhere around here.

[Leo Tanner]

These weeds really got outta hand.  Ain't never seen a dandylion get that big.

[mestiza letty]

Wish I could ride this one again next month....

[Leo Tanner]

Pop, it looks like mostly young folks preachin medicinal value.  They ain't old enough to have pain, need ta take an asprin an shut up.

[Four-Eyed Buck]
