Train Day!

 I know you have all been dying to hear about Train Day, the most wonderful day of the year.  Train rides, model trains and villages, toy trains, mini-trains, trains for sale, indoor trains you can play conductor in.  It's insane.  And awesome.  Nay, epically insanely awesome.  I never realized how big trains were, as this was my first time to see real ones up close.  They're MASSIVE!  We got to ride on a huge one outside, and then there was another train that could really run on the track that was miniature and made for kids, but they don't run it anymore.  I'm guessing the no seatbelts thing was a safety issue for the immature crowd.  Now, if they would just weed out the irresponsible ones from the get-go that wouldn't be a problem!
There was an interesting mix of people at train day - kids, and old guys.  I think there is something about trains that is just classically manly.  A man can like trains his whole life, and it's always an acceptable hobby, one of the few hobbies you can do from age 0-100!  Of course, none of the other train day goers were quite as fanatic as I.  I don't think it's possible....
