Think you have it tough?

I get accused all the time by people who have never met me of wanting to paint everything green, or even purple with yellow polka-dots, just because I agree with the thorough research done by Mike Spera of the Colorado Railroad Museum proving that the D&RGW was so proud of their home-grown K-37s that these engines were gussied up with the then-standard olive green jackets and aluminum leaf lettering when they first came out of Burnham Shops back in 1928 and '30.*   Why, even one of the NGDF's monitors has gone WAY out of his way to make false accusations and plant stories about me worthy of Faux News or the Ignacio Inquirer.  See [ngdiscussion.net] et seq if you don't believe me!
