I'm Not A Rivet Counter, but.....

I just couldn't resist.
Actually, what got me laughing was the memory of my days aboard USS Farragut DDG37.
Admiral Farragut is quoted as saying, "Damn the torpedoes! Full speed ahead!"
We figured he was mis quoted, and that he had actually said,
"Damn!, the torpedoes!, Full speed ahead!" :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

One of the benefits of being part of a modular group, is the ability to run pretty much any era locos, and rolling stock.
A steam powered "fan trip" can run through any era, but an SD90MAC would look really out of place in an 1890's scene...........unless the scene was a movie set.
The anachronism can exist occasionally, but shouldn't become a regular event.
And lastly, unless you are Dr.Brown, you should avoid going "back to the future".....flux capacitor indeed!

I believe the person who had the most fun with punctuation, was Victor Borge.
We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
