The dishwasher here is doing the dishes (my wife refuses to do dishes, so when we redid the kitchen a Kitchen Aid dishwasher was spec'ed and installed... no more doing dishes in the sink!) We had the

Coal was mined commercially in Washington (state that is) on the PC railroad (In our period that would be the Pacific Coast, that Penn whatever has yet to happen) [The PC is the unknown railroad

Denny, if you're fussy about how your pecan pies are made, what kind of meat do you use in your mince(d) meat pie? The best I ever had was made with venison. Nowadays most mincemeat pies seem to be

Denny, You did better than I did... the only meal I had on a Southern Pacific Train (101) was courtesy of the automat. Yeccchhh! Fortunately, the train had five PA's on the point as we went over
