From the Ignacio Inquirer (as reprinted without permission in the Tiffany Tattler) -
"A certain curmudgeon, well-known in railfan circles to have a an exterior of riveted steel and a heart of granite stone(s), has been observed lately in the company of an older and rather notorious 'painted lady' - recently the subject of much discussion regarding the attempts she has been making to hide her age under multiple layers of glossy paint and flashy aluminium trim.
"The couple was seen about two weeks ago at Mudhen Marsh in the company of friends and relatives, with JBWX discretely following at the end of a long line of the lady's admirers — as this unadulterated photo clearly shows:
"Only a few days later, the closely-coupled pair was seen cavorting near Lake Lobato, New Mexico . . .
" . . . but – surprise!, surprise! – JBWX went ballast-ic upon realizing his secret had been discovered, and the couple hurriedly disappeared into the seclusion of a private estate where our dedicated digital documentarians dared not follow:"
