Tuscarora Almanac - April 25, 1960 - The Book of Last Runs (Canadian Division)

The last regularly scheduled run of a Canadian National Railway train steam occurred today. Train No. 76 from The Pas to Winnipeg, Manitoba under the command of Class U-1-d No. 6043. In September the railway will host one final "official trip".

So like I worked EWR to LAX yesterday, land on 24R, and take the quote unquote Bridge Route to the South Complex. So now we are taxiing eastbound and as I pass 8 Alley, lo and behold, what do I see but an Alaska 737 dressed up in green colors with Portland Timbers written across the fuselage. It was not a sight I ever hope to see again in my lifetime not ever. I wish I could have those few seconds of my life back. Disturbing. I leave for Washington Dulles in a couple hours and then onto Orlando this evening. Have a good weekend... I guess.

Oh yeah, I am in Long Beach. I give no quarter over here and went out on the streets last night looking for trouble from Calvin Broadus types who identify with various sets. I found none. Onto the 405 now...

Funny...its the same for me when I go to parts of the south and midwest.
Only difference is, they usually walk around during evenings hours with pillow cases on their heads in the shape of cones..muttering something about 'the grand dragon'-

Smoke Weed,dude..everyday.

reminds me of the old Lenny Bruce line, if he gets on stage and sees one shriner pin on someone's lapel in the audience, he knows he will not connect with them.

2. pillow cases - the grand dragon is wearing the designer ones

Sorry, had to :)

Don't see AS too often down here. Seems they have one daily SEA-FLL and the return.

Apparently, that flight used to go to MIA, but AS switched it to FLL a couple of years ago.

I think SEA-MIA was a red-eye, I actually caught it on final to runway 9 back in 2011 (not the greatest pic):

IAWTP!

That plane clearly violates the Stage 1 FAA ban by 100 decibels! Youch!

dressed up in green colors with Portland Timbers written across the fuselage.

and here you thought that you had been part of a manifestation (meaning: a demonstration, march or rally) highlighting MS Awareness in Portland.

HA! You were tricked into joining the Cult of the Timber and now you are being audited. They will follow you everywhere.
You have no hope of ever escaping them.

and then onto Orlando this evening.

Your think you can abscond from the Timbers Army by attaching yourself to the Iron Lion Firm?
You actually believe this?

Answer the question!
