While out shoveling snow just after my previous post I thought of other ways that the "prototypical feeling" could be enhanced when you bust a knuckle like that:
- Have someone who's never been to Denver, and is preferably not even a model railroader, phone the dispatcher every minute [ this is fast time here ] and ask if the problem is solved yet.
- While you're "tracking" [ hah ] down the errant knuckle you have to carry a 50 lb sack of flour.
- After the problem is solved, somebody has to dump a bucket of water over you, because a squall came up on the walk back and you had left your rain gear in the locomotive [ or caboose ].
I certainly am glad I didn't include them in my original post !
If the intent of any of my posts is not clear then I've done a poor job of communicating. And certainly a reader is free to interpret them in the manner he or she chooses.
Best regards, SZ
