    Got an email from a model railroad list saying that November is Model Railroad month. For the first time in several years, I actually have a model railroad layout to run 🙂 I currently own a small 4×6 layout consisting of a double-track single loop.

    Here’s how I voted. Like I inferred earlier, I went with a straight GOP ticket. POTUS — Bush/Cheney John Kerry is a Massachusetts Liberal — in most years, he wouldn’t even be considered electable. He’ll pull Douglas County, though. I don’t believe there is a conciveable way Bush could have prevented the country from going…

    Kansas Finally ends a long drought of a winless streak against Kansas State — which was worthy of a homecoming tear-down of the goalposts. In the overall records, K-State would have had to have a much longer streak to catch up to the number of wins KU has had on them in the past. Joe…

    Local Resident Richard Heckler had a Letter to the Editor in today’s J-W about the South Lawrence Trafficway. He also posted it to Larryville. Some of his opening paragraphs were cut, focusing on the issue of a Traffic Light that is along the existing stretch. A recent fatality accident and the proximity to the local…

    First off, we’ve got a NASCAR race at the Kansas Speedway. Looks like “Front Row” Joe Nemechek will be the pole sitter. KU will be facing K-State in the Sunflower Showdown Saturday evening. K-State is favored by only four points. Oklahoma and Texas will face in the Red River Shootout off at the Cotton Bowl…
