Thought sure there would be somebody out there who knew what those initials stood for, but for now, will just let it go at that. D708 currently in town setting off more cars for GLC in the Howell pass, with CSX 4032-8141. They keep adding cars for the 4th day in a row, but GLC has not picked up any since last Thursday. There is at lease room for more. Instead off setting of 50-60 off at one time like they sometimes do, its been more like 15 a day.

There was a GEVO making noise in downtown GR just a couple minutes ago. The scanner is yielding no results. Q328 maybe?
According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible.
