I had a delightful post to put here :) *adopt don't-argue-with-me-eyes* ... but I lost it in an outrage :/ and now I have to do chores :[
I will try to reconstruct it later :)
Did it have anything to do with answering my post of yesterday?
[edit]
Thinking about dispatching on Saturday...
Possible solutions to the too many trains, not enough tracks problem:
1. The L train (the one I'm on) works out of track 2. I don't like this becasue the switch between 1 and 2 is a real b*tch to throw.
2. When one train is ready to depart, the other one ducks into the Car Line to get out of its way, then back into the depot again. The problem with this is that it involves extra pole-changing all around.

Yes. And now I REALLY have to go and do some chores.... grumble moan grrrrr... but whilst I do... I will do my remembering of what I said that I didn't say in the end. Okay? Okay! :)
Please wait here. Further instructions could pile up at any time. Thank you.
Yeah the contact b/w Eire and the 'classic' ancients goes way long back. Plus I think the tin produce of what is now southwestern Britain made it's way East too. The Carthaginians went both well north and far south out of the exit to the Mediterranean. Later Vikings went up the rivers of western muscovy/tartar and then down what we call the modern Dnieper to the Black Sea. For some miles between the top ends of both of those river systems they dragged their boats across land atop log rollers. However they were only following what had been done many centuries before ! I guess that's the origin of many a legend : multi year dangerous journeys to strange places and the re-telling expands down the generations ( assuming they returned to speak of it !). So when Finn MacCool ( I kid you not ) turns into a fish and then gets one eye plucked out by an eagle it is probably metaphorical for some battle of importance, social event, religious event ( one or more ) and the exact meaning dilutes as the oral tradition proceeds. Human nature hasn't changed that much since either. :-)
Cheers, Mike.

My crunchers will all be off line for a few days. No set date but the power company is coming to remove a tree in my back yard and will have to shut off the power to do it. Since I travel I need to have everything shut down in case they show up while I'm gone. Back in a few days.

Probably the Isle of Wight, they always did have pretensions to grandeur.
