News from Pigeon Falls– The little town in my garage where the trains still run and life has returned to normal.– Lots of excitement in Pigeon Falls last night. Somebody broke into Eino Garage and stole the stone hermit statue. In so doing they set off all the alarms and seemed to have gotten caught on video. The problem is that the video doesn’t show anybody going in but only leaving. Further the closet door in the basement where the statue was kept seems to have been broken out from the inside rather than in from the outside. The video shows a man leaving the garage that looks a bit like the hermit and there is a piece missing from his shoe. Eino says that he hasn’t figured out how they did this. He doesn’t know how they got the statue out without the statue being seen. There is no way one man could have done it but there are no others in the video. Just another one of those mysteries.
Mrs. Schmidt is all excited because she And her husband are leaving tomorrow on the early train for the airport in Iron Mountain. Then they will fly to Hawaii and she will finally live out her dream of a : “Warm Christmas”.
Dr. Fortress ran a free train today for anybody who wanted to go Christmas shopping in Iron Mountain. There were even cars there to take them where they wanted to go. It was all paid for, according to Dr. Fortress by Homeland Security because people didn’t have the opportunity to shop while they were quarantined. Perhaps, the government has a heart after all.
Tommy, Eino, and Mrs. Trumble met last night and talked about what Tommy and Eino had seen at the end of the tracks. They decided it might be best at this time not to tell anybody since they were probably not going to be believed anyway. This is true since the trestles seemed to be back even if slightly askew. Tommy can’t understand how one day they could be gone and the next day be back. It could be they were all hallucinating.
Nancy says that people would like to have answers but don’t think they are going to get any. So most of them are just going to celebrate Christmas and go on with their life.
Will we ever know what Tommy and Eino saw? Will the trestles disappear again? Will anybody ever explain the quarantine? What is Mrs. Schmidt giving her husband for Christmas?

No link for the day until next Wednesday so go have fun. Of course if you want to leave the words Dr. John here and there that’s ok.
I sent out some Christmad Greetings this morning. Then we went shopping. My daughter drove and she says we didn't get lost but the building we were going to had moved or something because it wasn't there. That was as good as lost. Then we got to two stores and did Christmas and grocery shopping. I think the Christmas shopping is just about done. Well I need a breathing treatment. ( Esther I need your E-mail address)
