What an enjoyable post! As you know, I love trains, so I'm always interested in seeing and learning more about them. I'm sorry you missed out on the Tornado, but DoG sounds as though he was a good compensation.
I remember when silver and linen napkins were a part of flying. That's all behind us since 9/11.
In that photo of your husband with the DoG, I thought there was a painting of a white fox just left of S2C's bag, but it must have been an odd reflection.
The Angel of the North looks very impressive. Our city has installed 19 sculptures downtown. If it ever stops raining and storming, I want to go see them. Tuesday was quite thunderstormy! Lots of tornadic activity, but it all went around us. We just got rain, which we had needed, but it would be nice if we didn't get more for a while, but that's not the forecast. It looks as if this week is going to be filled with weather. Unfortunately, there were more fatalities to add to the Joplin, Missouri, death count of 122--just two in Kansas and eight in Oklahoma, last I heard.
Steam engines look like a grand time for everyone but the fireman!
