    Does the Train's Lounge Car have a lunch menu? just planning ahead.
    Liquid lunch always works too ;)

    I tried that once- didn't work out so well. :lol:
    Oh
    I'll have lunch in a glass then, an Absolute bloody with extra lime, celery and olives. I'll know to bring a can of assorted nuts next time, maybe a beef jerky stick in my pocket too I like to share. :)

    Whiskey- ah, 'tis the season for a little Southern Comfort to warm the belly! 8-)

    The lounge car, the last refuge of AMT where peace reigns, climate change has no effect and guns are not allowed. Oh, what a tiny place in which to hide from the fray. :(

    To true B. Usually I can go to the porch to hide out as well but they are all flipping out right now so I think I'll hang here. Too bad I can't imbibe until later :)
    Are we getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?

    Seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned...

    I AM MINE

    Sometimes it's nice to not worry about other shit and take a little sidetrip to adorable-ville :)

    Just coffee for me. When I get the sense that guns are more lasting than peace, when I get the feeling that we are resigned to endless war, when I see that we the worlds people continue to spoil our nest with little thought for future generations, when a "thriving economy" and spending is more important than looking at the long-term viability of a healthy planet to live on, when all of this comes down and we say, "it just human nature", I get very frustrated.

    But most of all, when I hear myself complain too much I know it's time to leave the room for a while. :|

    Going the Joni route this morning.

    Fitting, or no? :think:

    I'm always running behind the time
    Just like this train
    Shaking into town
    With the brakes complaining

    :P

    About to try my hand at making calzone for the first time!

    Good Saturday to you (wave to all my friends)

    Good Saturday, Hedonist! :D

    It's off to work for me. Looking forward to Saturday evening- dinner at my uncle-in-law's. He still has an interest in a few of El Dorado county's finest wineries so good wine with dinner tonight for sure! :D

  • hedonisthedonist Posts: 24,524
    "On Drugs" reminds me of those old commercials. Which drugs were they, and how's the head this morning?

    Creepy avatar, by the way.

    Thinking of making some hot buttered rum on this cold snowy night... :)

    Not sure what I'm having this evening but I guarantee it won't include what you read about here:

    To your health, my friends!

    Oh hell yeah - sounds cozy, especially after (enviously) reading about your log home.

    I'm enjoying the green and sipping some brandy this rainy evening, and finally getting over the damned cold I've had all week.

    Happy weekend, folks!

    First time trying buttered rum, and it's incredibly delicious. And, yeah, the ambiance goes well with it! ;)

    I was reading some of the posts on the Porch yesterday and was tempted to say, "You guys ought to get on the train where it's nice and peaceful". :lol:

    We're having friends over for brunch this morning which will include mimosas. I feel like a total yuppie today. Oh well, nothing a little bubbly won't cure. :lol:

    And how unusual it that, to say it's more peaceful on AMT? :lol: But it's true!

    Are you kidding? Who doesn't love a good mimosa or two? :D

    :lol: Yep, the Porch is a bit 'touchy' at the moment!

    Daughter just finished applying for her student loans for university in September - she's signing her life away!!!! She probably needs a drink but so do I because I know I will be funding this one way or the other too!!!!

    A stiff one, please!

    That's what she said :mrgreen:

    Good luck to your daughter!

    I haven't ventured over to the Porch....ticket/show issues, I assume?

    Really nice Sunday morning here, on all fronts. Gonna keep it that way!

    My co-worker/buddy gave me this today. We've been busting some serious ass (him moreso) over the past few weeks to get five loans simultaneously refi'd, and today they closed!

    I know what I'm doing tonight...among other things 8-)

    Very nice co-worker hedonist!!!!

    Done a bit of ticket purchasing and I have happily parted with some hard earned cash for Nick Cave and Patti Smith. Along with tix for Neil Young, I am starting to feel a bit of an 'oldie' theme here (with me being the oldie as I have seen them when they were just little puppies, as I was. Well... almost).

    Enjoying a nice cup of dark roast as it is a bit early for anything else.

    This car is still the best place to be on the train! :mrgreen:
