To quote J. J. Sullivan: "Where did you get that hat, Where did you get that tile? Isn't it a funny one or Just the proper style? I would like to have one, Just the same as that."

I did the sleeper train last fall from Berlin to Malmö. I didn't sleep that well, with the stop&go motion. I was in a 6-bed couchette and others in the room both got on and left while I tried to sleep. We had a stop at the Danish border at 2am to allow a passport check. The route itself was only recently restarted, and they were using 20-year-old stock. Then again, that same route was a lot easier when I first did it 15 years ago in my late 30s.
The big plus for me is I don't live near an airport. The flight connections to get home meant I would have had to leave Berlin in the mid-afternoon (cutting my event short) or stay an extra night in Berlin.
I really want the Brussels-Malmö overnight train. Currently getting to the Low Countries by train requires an overnight hotel in Hamburg. But as the link points out, it's not profitable enough to deal with the red-tape headaches.
7 years ago my wife and I did San Diego-ABQ by Amtrak, via L.A. With only two people in a room and longer trip (and no passport control) it was more pleasant.

First time I saw them was a kid, visiting somewhere in Michigan where a steep hill met the lake. From what I gather they aren't that uncommon. I was able to find several US providers pretty easily.

Some good ones there. Don't see why they needed comments from psychics.

The then Chief of Naval Research wrote about this case in 1972, at https://www.usni.org/magazines/proceedings/1972/september/t-3-incident . It includes details about where the island was (300 miles from the north pole), the use of ham radio (reach New Zealand!) to try to get help, and the difficulties of getting to/from the island.

Huh. No mention of gravel/grit? That's what our city uses instead of salting the roads. Come spring, there's a day when they come around with the sweepers to take the deposits away.

I got the same story five times in a row. And it wasn't a story I particularly wanted to re-read.

Here in Sweden the days are once again lengthening. This week it's no longer dark bringing the kids home from after-school. Within a week or two I expect it will no longer be dark taking them to school. In about a month, it will be light again for breakfast. Break out the sólarpönnukökur!

My Dad picked up a used one at a garage sale. He and my grandfather got the motor working again, but weren't able to get it to fly again. Based on this article, seems that's not surprising.

When people quip "Madness is doing the same thing and expecting a different result", I point to this flight as a counter-example of how it was not madness for the pilots to try restarting the engines over and over again.

I loved the presentation style! My recipe isn't that far off from authentic Ragusea style.
My problem with the suggestion of adding a few loose dark chocolate chips is that once the bag is open, the rest of the chips seem to simply disappear within a day or so.

Two Egg, FL. Wikipedia says "Some believe poor families during the Great Depression would trade eggs for goods at the local store, while others say two eggs were dropped by accident, causing the name to be selected."
