Just simple DC for simple folks here as you might have guessed; foil hat is due to proximity to center of insanity/silliness.....

Columbia, Kentucky, is a bit far for me to go to a train show.

600 miles and 10 hours on the road 1 way to go to a show that in all likelihood will have nothing of interest to me..........

Pt. St. Lucie is further,

This is just about ready to hit the paint queue.....
