Heading Home

A fun activity: taking a kayak out in the surf. This is something I enjoy on those occasions when the wave height is not too high and other conditions (water and air temperature, wind) are favorable. These guys went out at around 5 PM last weekend in Cherry Grove.

The big toy train meeting in York ends today so I'll be heading home. The unusually warm weather was pleasant even if it didn't feel like Fall and that time of the year when people in the toy train hobby gear up for the holiday season. I'm sure the cool weather will be upon us before long.

Still On The Road In York, PA

What beautiful summery weather we continue to enjoy in October! It's about fifteen to twenty degrees warmer than it should be this time of year. The big semi-annual Train Collector's Association meeting is the reason I'm here in York. The meet opened yesterday at noon and will continue all day today and tomorrow until 2 PM. When we're not at the meet, a groups of us gather socially to chat or to go out to dinner. Tonight I'm fortunate to be invited, courtesy of my good friend and room mate Ted, to a special private get together of very knowledgeable collectors. They meet first in a hotel room for cocktails and a "show and tell" featuring rare and unusual toy trains and other items. Then the group has dinner together. This will cap off the event very nicely for me because it will be an interesting and enjoyable evening.

Bush Can't Behave

I can't go out of town for one day without Bush threatening WW III with Iran!

Out here in York, PA we had a beautiful summer day - sunny and 80 degrees. Can't be October!

Time For York

I'm off to a toy train convention in York., PA. It looks like the weather will be beautiful. That's good because part of the activities are out of doors.
