Pete-
If God himself came down and said, "Charlie, you can be 20 again and
retain everything you know or have now and live to 100", I think I would
say, "Thanks but no thanks".....
I am not a luddite, making my living on a computer via the internet and
using DCC for my railroad and creating models using state of the art
Rapid Prototyping methods, etc.......
....but I'm not sure that the quality of life is equal to what it was in the
'50s, '60s, and '70s..... before cell phones, downsizing, political
correctness,
satellite radio, ATMs......and on and on.
Now, on the other hand if I could go BACK 50 or 75 years under the same
conditions..... I'd get shots of Western Avenue, both Aeolus together,
roster
shots of waycars in their original condition, pictures of freight cars,
figure out
where the Farnham electric trials were conducted, determine if the Lyons
Belt
ever connected to the Q, and take pictures of the Chicago, Millington &
Western
narrow gauge in operation!!!
