As many of you may know there is an absense of railroad calendars this year. We may have to settle for that calendar of kittens the old lady thought we would like. I was in Chama yeaterday visiting Bob and Sylvia at Trackside Emporium. Seems that Cedco is out of business and Sundance didn't print a calendar-the first time in over three decades, sad to say. Bob, however, had a few very nice calendars that Kadee (of model coupler fame) put out. One the cover is a beautiful scene of D&S 473 rolling through fresh snow in the Animas Valley. A close look showed the renowned FLoppo, our local Zen master of time and space, at the throttle. Congrats, Floppo, I will get a copy to you the next time I see you hitch-hiking to work!
