    Doc Hay and Lung On weren't the only ones to come to "Tiger Town" as the place was called. Many, perhaps more than 10 thousand, I don't know, Chinese came here during the Mid-Late 1800's. Want to know why? I'll tell you why.
     
    THERE'S GOLD IN THEM THAR HILLS!
     
    There was. And there still is. Not everyone who got rich here mined gold though!

    Reminds me of that movie a friend and I made with Jalina.
    ALIENS ON EARTH 2: THE HAMSTER PEOPLE'S REVENGE.
    It follows ALIENS ON EARTH.
    It features an atempt of Hamster People Aliens to conquer earth. Maybe it will be on #######.

    Today was really painfull. In gym class, we're doing badmitton. As I walked off the stage (warm-ups) I jumped off the 2nd or 3rd step.
    I hit the top of the stairwell.
    You should not there are only 4-6 stairs, so it's not a talll stairwell. The result was not major laughter, but rather, a splitting headache... and as i later found out, perhaps a dent in my head. I jumped up, Hit head, hit stairs. Ouch.
    I asked someone some questions about that, and got surprising answers.
     
    On the plus side, i balanced a pen on my nose in science and math classes. Only a few others could do this. Later i got first 2, then 3 on my nose! Holy pens!
     
    So remember... BEWARE THE STAIRWELL!

    Pop Quiz

    By Railblazer,

    This is a news report from KAJN. The debate between sodas, Pepsi and Coca Cola, came to a crashing halt when BZP member Kapurkar said that he preferred a Graveyard(multiple flavors combined) between Pepsi, Coke, Root Beer, and Sprite. This has been KAJN.

    Remember That Entry about the Sumpter Valley Railroad?
    Well, I rode it today. Had fun and learned some things:
    The Railroad restoration group ownes the last Narrow Gauge (three feet between the rails) RPO (post office) car that I know of.
    They own one of Four operating narrow gauge Heisler locos.
    The Satandard gauge of rails was decided because the first railroad had an english loco, and the tracks were bulit to that scale: 4 Ft 8.5 In.
    They were that wide because trains replaced horse drawn wagons on rails. Those axles matched those on regular wagons. Those were that size due to ruts in the roads, caused by Horse Drawn Roman War chariots. The wheels were that size because the romans wanted specifically sized horses. The reins had to fit around the rumps of two horses, which was, guess what: 4ft 8.5 inches.
    Some of NASA's rockets travel by rail, and pass through tunnels that are barely wider than the tracks. So NASA made their rockets, Guess, 4ft 8.5 in.
    So, thinks of this. The sizes of some of Today's advanced tech can be determined by the sizes of a horses rump!
     
    Oh, and happy Anniversery, BZP!

    Road Trip!

    By Railblazer,

    Since my family may moving to Salmon, we decided to tour the town. It has an awesome city park, a Subway, a Bed and Breakfast, and a small park in a river. The river spilts briefly then rejoins. The park is in that area.
    The town is named after the Salmon River, called, "the river of no return." The river flows north into a canyon where there are no roads.
    But the area is known best for that it is the birthplace of Sacajawea.
     
    See ya!
     
     
    P.S: HAPPY NATIONAL TRAIN DAY!

    Shine!

    By Railblazer,

    Shine! Make 'em wonder whatcha got, make 'em wish that they were not, on the outside looking forth.
    If you couldn't tell, I was at a Newsboys concert last night in Boise. The first bands were:
    Article One
    NEWWORLDSON
    Rush of Fools
    Newsboys was great. We got a combo DVD/CD. We also got our Article One CD signed!
     
    Shine!

    Our town is a town in Eastern Oregon with about 1600 people.
    The pros of living in a small town?
    >>>>the smaller the town, the less likely are the chances of getting bombed.
    >>>>You know more of the people in the community
    >>>>You are probably a lot safer
    >>>>It probably has a lesser-known, yet still important historic site. In My case, Kam Wah Chung & Co. History to come.
    The Cons?
    <<<<You are not near a store that sells a lot of LEGO Bricks. But then, does anywhere?

    The Giant ant part is scary. cover young ones' eyes.
     
    I noticed that the alien looked suspiciously like an Asgard from Stargate SG-1. Anyone else think so?

    The Sumpter Valley Railway. Based in Oregon. Known as "the Stump Dodger."
    The SVRY was founded in 1890, in Baker City, Oregon. It was a combination lumber line and livestock line...try saying that five times fast.
    As the years went by, the railroad expanded to the west. At its best it went to Prarie city, 13 miles from my home! As the name says, it went through the Sumpter Valley, and to Sumpter, Oregon.
    The the line began to fail. Profits went down, and portions of the line were abandoned. In 1947, when the railway officially closed, it only owned a small diesel and 1.5 miles of track!
    In the late 1900's, volunteers began the Sumpter Valley Railroad Restoration Group. It has currently restored 5.5 miles of track, rolling stock, a Heisler loco, and a 2-8-2 Mikado steam loco. It is still at work. So if your heading towards Sumpter, where the line is, stop by, and ride the Stump Dodger!
     
     
    Did i mention it is a narrow gauge line?

    My Sister has gone off on a trip for two weeks for church camp and to see a friend. Next Week, my Little Annoying Brother (LAB) will join here.
    Jessie is holding up quite well. I wonder What she will do when Jalina Comes Back?
    Mom And Dad pay me to watch my siblings. I'll be paid the same amount when LAB is gone for a week.
