Yes, I suppose the question about flue extensions is a valid one.
Perhaps if you were living at Ground Zero and experiencing the situation as we are, you would grasp how the question "What if the trains don't run all summer?" hits us. Some people in Chama are going to go broke if the train doesn't start running within a very few days. Some a very few weeks. Some railroad employees and local business owners are going to have to leave town to get a job. I'm one of them. There are bills to pay, mortgages to pay, food to be gotten for families.
I apologise for being so terribly inensitive. I really don't give a damn about flue extensions right now.
