The UPHS annual meeting is in 6 weeks. I wonder what everybody is going to be talking about?

Yeah, that, too. Wish I could go, I live a mere 5-hour drive from the festivites. But, alas, life.

South Amana, where they're wying the consist, is half hour from home, but I suspect I'll be driving to the Quad Cities that day. The Big Boy passing through town earlier this year was nice, but that Centennial is the real gem imo.
