    GUESS WHAT! I BEAT DAD'S HIGH SCORE ON RAILROAD TYCOON II! YEEEES!
    In case you are wondering, Railroad Tycoon II is a really fun strategy game. It is different from the other Tycoon games i have played in that in RollerCoaster Tycoon II, you are managing and expanding your park and finance. You have one goal in a scenario.
    But in Railroad Tycoon II, You manage your railroad, expand, watch the company finance, but also *watch your personal finance and the stock market. You issue bonds, repay them, issue stock in bad times, buy it back later, and merge with opponents!
    That is right! you can chose difficulty, add players (in single player, AI ones), and change renevue levels.
    You can also make maps, buy industries, and maybe even play Multiplayer!^ Can you do from * to ^ in other games?

    The Strut Stride and Straddle (SSS) is a set of activities in my home town.
    It includes:
    1 mile walk,
    4 mile walk,
    6 mile jog,
    13 mile bike.
    I did the 4 mile with mom, and Jalina... well, she'll tell you.

    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?

    A few clicks ago I started a comic topic. This is Kapurkar's comic studio. Full of laughs, flying chairs, and explosions, this should be a fan fav.

    LINKY!
