'Twas not I who objected to others invoking the spiderweb spirit of the internet with links to histœric posts, twas one o' them thar Akin Bros. who objected to me doing so every once in a while. My excuse is that, like Roosso and JBWX, I'm just another bored old geezerly Curmudgeon (or curmudgeonly old Geezer) with nothing better to do but re-touch ancient pics on Photoshop except when I'm not taking a nap or our dogs aren't taking us for a walk in the park.
Meanwhile see my suggestion at [ngdiscussion.net], above, for generating lucrative two-way freight traffic on the C&TS and – for more pics of JBWX-1 and siblings – see [ngdiscussion.net] et seq.
