Today's Link-Burned by the Man- You can't comment without registering but you may never get another chance to see what cocaine does to a corn field.
WE spent all morning wrapping extra long G scale railroad cars I sold on eBay. Got a call from Peter that my granddaughter was in the hospital . Her asthma had acted up and she might have a virus. Given the condition of my lungs we didn't dare go and visit her.Then we took the three packages and Margarets prize from last Friday and went to the Post Office. After that it was off to the grocery store and groceries for the week. In the afternoon I sorted G scale train cars in the basement. Brought up two, photographed them and listed them on eBay. Now I need a breathing treatment.
