The b1rd has been Zlined for flooding. He sort of wanted to have a break from IRC anyway to get some important work done. He will return in a few days with renewed anger.

I was sad to hear that one of the worlds greatest reverse engineers has died after a battle with cancer.

The Riders
Who treads those level lands of gold,
The level fields of mist and air,
And rolling mountains manifold
And towers of twilight over there?

The people out of old romance,
And people that have never been,
And those that on the border dance
Between old history and between

Since dropping this "Bombshell" interest has been shown from end, megamanga, myself, *b1rd*, *tigger_*, *ethanol*.

Passenger rail is not only attractive for reasons of historical sentimentalism, but assumptions about the cost of developing it today seems also to be sentimentally rooted in an era before environmental impact studies, protracted court challenges, and inflationary land prices.
