Hi,
I love seeing people saying "nobody in their right mind would ..."
If we only did what "right minded" people thought we should,
1) the United states would not be here "... would fight the world's strongest nation and expect to win" (Britain).
2) we would not have had a man set foot on the moon.
3) we would not have discovered the New World.
4) we would not have heavier than air flight.
I guess these people not in their right minds are visionaries to me.
I guess people who say that are those who do not want others to show them up and want to hold everyone back.
Using the same statement on TWO narrow gauge oriented ideas.
Bob Richardson must not have been in his right mind to start a collection of narrow gauge equipment in Alamosa and all those who celebrated the 40th anniversary of their work saving a piece of the outmoded and technically backward narrow gauge gauge over Cumbres must not have been in their right mind.
THANK GOD WE HAVE THOSE WHO ARE NOT IN THEIR RIGHT MIND!!!!!!!!
To dream the impossible dream.
