    Ridin' that Train...

    Greetings.

    Many of you will know me from other places. If you're not sure, you don't. Anyway, I was just passin' through, as it were, and noticed some familiar names.

    My name. I drive trains for a living, or I did. Now I'm early-retired, and not a moment too soon. I once had aspirations of being a great writer, a great lawyer, or an honest politician...but now, in my dotage, I scream down rain barrels. Which is what this sort of venue is...and as a NewsMax veteran, I'm well familiar with the futility of it.

    So...I'm not as prolific as I once was, but I'll be popping in, time to time.

    As a former Newsmax transplant to NoPC/BTTS, I seem to recall the name but perhaps not the political leaning.

    A few more of us here, having followed various paths.

    Yup, I'm That Guy.

    I don't know you, but it doesn't matter. I expect I will. A lot of water under the bridge, since NewsMax.

    Hmmmm......used to drive trains.

    Yeah, I think I know you.

    I think we met on another forum, my name isn't the same there, but, very similar.

    Yes.

    Our paths crossed, briefly, elsewhere.
