    Spokane today


    We talked about this before but I couldn't find the thread.


    Here's one for Cor.


    Original Northern Pacific Railway overpass built in 1915. The NP logo (which was once painted over) can be faintly seen in the center. I'd love to go up there and restore it to it's original appearance.



    Only a fawlkin tourist from a small town in Idaho would take pix of the big buildings.


    Of course I wasn't ready for this train...


    ...but I waited for this one.

    But boarding the bus in an unwashed state is perfectly A-OK!

    Those E-cigs give off water vapor. Folks are complaining about water vapor!

    Never ceases to amaze me how people will act all smoked out when there is no smoke. Friend of mine gets on the city bus and puts his pipe in his mouth. People start to cough, wave hands and complain about his pipe.....which is unlit and giving off no smoke. He points this out and they usually get even more pissed than if he really were smoking.

    I was on an almost full Greyhound bus in PA once from Harrisburg to Philadelphia. The driver missed his turn off the turnpike onto rt 76. I wondered WTF, but thought maybe he was going a different way. After another 10 minutes it was obvious he was lost.
    I got up from 3/4 way back in the bus and asked him what he was doing? This big plump woman up front heard everything.
    At first the driver thought I was off, but after asking him a few key questions he realized he was way off course.
    I gave him 2 options, which he was uncertain about, but assured him they would work.

    Well by this time this woman explodes, demands I return to my seat and starts to tell everyone on the bus in a broadcast voice I was annoying the driver.
    Every idiot on that bus, save maybe 2 or 3, had fire in their eyes. The woman commanded me to go back to my seat, which I did, then commanded me to sit down, which I did cause I didn't want a mob of slobbering goons attacking me.

    When my ass hit the seat I decided if anything further happens, I'm gonna flip, and tell everyone to GoFuThmSel. Fortunately that was the end of it.

    We eventually made it to the bus station in Philly after doing what I didn't want to do. Completely back tracking 20 miles to where he should have turned in the first place. We could have gone a much shorter, easier way.

    That's amusing. I'm not hyper sensitive to smoke in terms of coughing or breathing, but I find the smell to be horrid. If I don't smell it, I really don't care. What gets my blood boiling, because I'm convinced they do it on purpose is when a guy puts out his cigarette just outside the door of a store and then exhales on his way in.

    Yeah, it's done on purpose. Not that I did anything like that or anything when I was a kid.

    You can simulate the same thing by holding your hand on your mouth and compressing the air in it. Then, you can blow out the vapor -- like as if it was cold outside!

    Yes, but she sure showed you who was In Charge, and it wasn't you, right?
