Yes it is worth seeing Fred's light-rail travelogue.  But Fred, be sure
to include the interurban line that was opened in 1909.  For those of
you who missed it, Fred purposely left out Pittsburgh and Philly light
rail because we were all familiar with it.

I have no idea.     Feb. 24 I have to provide illustrations for a  
show for CERA in Chicago ... may go or may just send slides.   March  
10 I'm putting on my grand travelogue of light rail / heavy rail at  
the Tractioneers Meeting in Washington DC.   (Ask Bob Deitrich if  
it's worth seeing ... he saw the same program in Philly last  
week.)      July 8-19 schedule calls for a trip to Alaska that my  
wife and Janis Lybarger concocted; I added a drive across the country  
at each end because I don't want to be pinched in an airline seat.    
That will mean another brief look at CTA, Salt Lake City, St. Louis  
and Denver and maybe LRT construction in Seattle and the Skyway  
Airport line in Vancouver.   There are limits when one has a wife  
along!   Dinosaur National Monument sounds interesting.   (I want to  
see if they have my grave ready.)

Snow?   Sun has disappeared.   Clouds have rolled in.    calling for  
4 to 8 inches tonight.   To quote the Democratic campaign anthem from  
1932:  "Happy Days Are Here Again."
