1,999,975 dollars.
That'll save them 25 dollars for shipping the contest prizes.
You're assuming that they'd pay for shipping in the first place. Nope

You're probably right Don.
From the looks of things that have been happening over there. I can just imagine getting a PM that reads like this:
Congratulations ________(place name here), you have won this months modeling contest. Please send a check for $25.00 to cover shipping, in a box big enough, so we can ship your 26 year old incomplete model of a Israeli M60 tank back to you."

It could happen..?

I was told by MS in a PM that, "Sanjay hates to spend money". This kind of proves that theory... dig out something from the basement that you never built as a kid and pawn it off as a prize. Oh yeah, don't forget to write it off and get a tax deduction as a donation... Eek

I was looking through "Z" for posts that I had written "history" in, of my roads, and their beginnings.........One post originally had photos of my BL20-2's, now, there's links to the attachments, and when the links are clicked on, I get "page cannot be found". I cannot find the photos going to "user CP / attachments", so I guess some attachments are gone forever now. I believe, the post contained a reference to Rail Graphics, so it's possible that they called it "advertising" and "cleaned up the mess", before they lost any money.

The new residents either don't care, or don't have the skills to maintain the old neighborhood, and it's beginning to "go downhill" for lack of adequate, or skilled, maintenance.
So, the paint is flaking off.
Soon, the roofs will begin to leak, and it won't be too long and there'll be a ghost town where there once was a thriving community of people who cared about their neighborhoods.
Perhaps, too soon, the only record of our having been there will be found in the midden heaps.

The year is 1,002,009....Archaeologists excavating in the "lost continent" ( New Jersey), have found yet another set of strange "arch pairs". These latest, seem to have been painted a gold color. The theory that is becoming more, and more accepted is that these must be part of some ancient religion, because they are found in so many widely distributed locations. They are stilled baffled by the depiction of a small "round entity", always found with the inscription "Millions Served". It is believed that this must be the deity worshipped at these sacred places.

Everytime you go to "Z", you come back in a worse mood then when you left.
Here's a suggestion......Stop going....

Yeah! I'll say Hi! from you, and then I won't be able to "go back"! Big Grin Big Grin

I like the stone, and I like the birds.........for now, I'll keep the stone, and not kill the birds.
