Perhaps its' time I make about 3 gallons of crab dip, get about 20 liters of soda, and get out my 30 carousels of slides of railroad trains, and show them to a couple of dozen people in the den/lounge/rec room. Great fun, that railfanning. Used to do quite a bit of it until 2001, when the unfortunate incident made security around railroads a little overzealous.
