@WellBuiltStyle And there's no such thing as multi-tasking. What appears to be multi-tasking is just continual shifting of focus (sometimes rapidly) from one thing to another because you can't possibly focus on more than one thing at a time.

@Brick_Suit Brick, I was wondering if they had any historic models on display such as a B-61. Love your coverage.

@Magpies_Nest @ZubyMusic Kudos to you. I'm still working half-time at age 65 and have no intentions of quitting.

[Ian Wilson | Author @IanWilsonAuthor]

I wasn't thinking technically in terms of age. More of accumulated experience. Being 65 now, I can say that at around age 45 it hit me that I wasn't young anymore per se. Until then, I hadn't felt much different. Similarly, now at age 65, I've psychologically realized I've passed into the stage of life where one spends as much time looking back as looking ahead.

@Brick_Suit No problem! I knew you knew that. 🙂

@DrTurleyTalks Moving to Bulgaria three days from now. Thanks for this.

@LazarusWhi68151 @ZeitvilleMedia In my opinion, it's more than a book, it can become a way of life. As it has for me.

@Cer_Llama @ZeitvilleMedia Listen to the "rustle of the morning stars". I've read and reread that book probably five or six times. It's impossible to fully digest and absorb that content on the first pass, so I understand your experience.

@MagicalEurope I can vouch for the beauty of Melnik. As a Canadian. I spent a few days there in September 2022.

@Brick_Suit Brick, when I was there about ten years ago, the plaque giving the description of the locomotive called that Northern (4-8-4) a Mountain (4-8-2). Have they fixed that yet?

@Bulgaria I'm moving there in two weeks from Canada!

[Ian Wilson | Author @IanWilsonAuthor]

@FamousVariety No problem. I love your postings. I'm on my 4th or 5th read through that book.

@JJFilson @americanrails Great shot, John. I've stood just where you're standing and photographed 765 and C&O 614 there. Thurmond has magical qualities. Especially all the difficulty in getting there by road.

@kvnachev I've been gradually convinced that Bulgarian yogurt is the best and that the Bulgarians invented yogurt. But that's not on my authority. 😃

@bruce_barrett Love those birds. Always said that the jackpot would be seeing one of them from a window in our suburban home. Saw every other bird, pretty much. After 26 years in the house, and putting it up for sale, within weeks of closing we saw one. Took it as a signal--okay to move now!

@Brick_Suit I appreciate that you reply, Brick, well done and here's to more great posts and replies from you.
