I took a picture on the way to work this morning – something you guys in NY can look forward to…coming your way. Here [you can see] the outer band over JAX – bright and sunny to the west, black to the east. Hope you guys stay safe! I know we got lucky here.
My friend, and former editor at the late, great Pandemonium Online, Dave Liljengren turned me on to this Pink Lionel Train found on the (no longer active) Monkey Goggles Blog. Click Here to read an interesting story about how this train has earned the dubious honor of being “The Least Successful Toy In The World.” Thanks, Dave!
