The Best Mode of Travel

Always make sure your elephant is secure and happy before boarding a train.

I drew the train station in the second panel based on photographs of a plastic Revell small-town station kit that came out in 1958 or so.  I built the model when I was a kid and placed it on my small HO railroad, but it vanished a long time ago, along with the railroad, consumed by the great toy- and model-swallowing black hole that gobbles up so much of the past.

Somewhere, among Plato's eternal forms, is a cheery little plastic model of a small-town railroad station.

Here's something old-fashioned that's still around--a chocolate wafer, with a photo and recipe from Linda Larsen.

Here, from Rusch, is one of the largest high-reach demolition machines in the world, reaching a height of 295 feet. The boom weighs nearly 70 tonnes.

And here, from shizuorkagourmet, are some cooked rutabagas.

Variety is life.

No worries.
