Subj : Re: Various Things (1) To : Barry Martin From : Daryl Stout Date : Wed Feb 15 2023 22:54:00 Barry, BM> I think it's in the box to go to recycling! I need to cut up these big cardboard boxes that Wal-Mart shipped several small grocery items in by comparison. But, I'm waiting until after the storms overnight (my area is under a Tornado Watch as of 10:15pm, Feb. 15), before I put stuff outside. BM> Oh. ... I could kind of see why: something spills out, creating a mess. That's why I have stuff delivered. I saw an editorial cartoon on Fox News today, where you had Peter Pan, Mary Poppins, Snoopy, Dumbo, and Superman, noting the newspaper headline "F-22's shoot down more UFO's"...and Superman laments "Maybe we should call an Uber". :P BM> I'll admit to not knowing -- no real need to. but that sort of brings BM> up the reasoning for the need: not convenient. The closest Amtrak BM> terminal is in Galesburg, IL, an hour south of here. Chicago is 2« BM> hours east, so almost makes more sense to go by bus over train. Amtrak does serve Little Rock, but with health and financial issues... never mind you can't just drop what you're doing and go back home in the event of an emergency...my travel outside of Pulaski County (Little Rock) is over. BM> ...Unless I go hobo-style and hop a freight train: those seem to go BM> through constantly! That can be dangerous...especially if it derails, and the train you were on had hazardous materials. Unfortunately, many of those chemicals can ONLY be transported by rail. BM> If there's a need or desire....! You could open a big can of worms there. BM> I did notice my spam calls were down. India got a gold medal at the Olympics for telemarketing. BM> Good thing I added the comment else you would have probably thought the BM> Area Code. Probably so. Daryl .... Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most. === MultiMail/Win v0.52 --- SBBSecho 3.15-Win32 * Origin: The Thunderbolt BBS - Little Rock, Arkansas (454:1/33) .
