Sign of the apocalypse...vigorously agreeing with Roy :)


I thought that was professional golf, :roll: Although looking at the stands of most professional sport events, the horrifyingly ugly people are the ticket holders.

Of course, none of it is worth $30+ million per year to do it.


It's like art - it's whatever you can get away with.....or a model train - it's worth what you can sell it for now.

I'm happy and amazed to report that I have begun seeing interviews in which the athlete being interviewed does not say, "ya know."

Was the Oley Valley R.R just a trolley line or did the trolley and trains share the same tracks :?:

Speculation: Just a trolley line since (1) the overhead is centered over the track, and (2) quite a bit of PA trolley track was gauged not to RR standard - PA Broad gauge.

I'm amazed that that hotbabe felt compelled to walk right into that mess, especially with that dress on, hat and all. The incongruity of it! I am incredulous. :shock:

It's a great photo w/o her and the guy, but adding them in just makes this a great photo of the times.

The expression on the bicyclist's face is priceless. It says it all about how he feels about his personal treasure, and its appearance on the historical scene.

Interesting interpretation, which is one of the things I enjoy about this forum , learning of viewpoints different from my own which had not occurred to me.
