Even before the C-19 shutdown Roosso was banned from all the bars within walking distance of his home, so in the absence of people buying him beer to divert him from attempting Karaoke he has nothing better to do in his spare time than memorize the NGDF . . .

Right On, Chris -

The more attractions in S.W. Colorado, the more people will be attracted there — just like the more car dealers all in one part of town, the more people who will come from farther away when they're looking to buy a car.  IIRC, back in August, 2010, there were special trips of one kind or another on four or five of Colorado's scenic railroads around the time of the C&TS 40th B.D. party, and people came from all over the U.S. and even from Canada, England, Germany, Japan, and – yes! – the Antipœdes to take advantage of the multiple activities.
