Hey everyone. I was just running a train in Train Simulator and I thought about David. I am taking a long Monon freight from Chicago to Indiana Broad Ripple. I was just picking up autoracks at the Ford Plant at MP 17.5. The Monon is long gone, and most of the trackage has been abandon, but in my simulator, it is 1960 something, so the railroad along with many others is alive and well. I have  the Full MONON Railroad, The Milwaukee Road Latta Division by Bedford Indiana, Chicago, Chicago suburbs and Joliet, Illinois, and NYC P&E Crawfordsville to Indianapolis Sub.

Yep Jess...freight, passenger cars, and of course locomotives. I love the smokey Alco's and the burbling sound they make.

That's really cool Brad! I've wondered about those train simulators! Are they fun? I love the flight simulators, but I haven't bought the train simulator yet. Are you using the one made by Microsoft?

The good ole Monon! I often go jogging on the Monon Trail and part of the railroad tracks from the Monon Line are there. They've fixed up part of the trail and the part you can walk/jog/bike on stretches from north Carmel to Indianapolis. I hope they fix up more of it. They probably will.

Thank you David!!! He just sent you a big kiss  Cody the dog is a beautiful dog too. And hey how is your new monitor doing? I bought a whole new computer from Circuit City about two weeks ago cause mine died. The salesman said then that Circuit City would be around for many, many years.

Jack, I know I already asked you this, but I can't seem to find the place where I posted it... so I'm going to ask you again!

Will you be watching Prayers For Bobby with us tomorrow night? It comes on at 9pm our time (Eastern). Jess said she will be watching it too.

He said they would be around for years? Was that before they announced they would be closing their stores? I hate to see them go. CC was my favorite electronics store. That's where I bought my Canon G9!

My new monitor is doing just fine! I'm getting used to the new stretched look, just like Jess said I would.
