Yeah, I guess. I'm a fan of the British t.v. show Thomas The Tank Engine And His Friends. I first watched the show on PBS with my kids. This Americanized version was called Shining Time Station and starred Ringo Starr as Mr. Conductor Man. When he died, George Carlin starred in the role of Mr. Conductor Man. Or, maybe it was the other way around. Regardless, in my fantasy world, Ringo and George were train conductors and Ted Bundy was an electrical conductor. All are dead, so in my world, there are no more conductors. Fred Van Wormer was only a semiconductor, so he doesn't count.
These days I get to watch Thomas The Tank Engine And His Friends on Sprout TV with my granddaughter. Unfortunately I also have to endure Caillou and those creepy people from Lazy Town.
Diesel, you're a very naughty engine.

I miss Piper.
That's not a non sequiter, in case you weren't paying attention - one of Pipers best avatars was Beaker from the Muppets, which I used to watch with my kids. Beaker was my favorite.Piper was pretty cool, too.
Piper is at Load 1 in a Cargo Max, you can see him in the yard from time to time....
Her is a him unless you mean Beaker.
Her is a him unless you mean Beaker.
Beaker was a her?!!!
I know Piper is a him, I met him in Louisville a couple years ago - nice guy, and I liked his posts, too.
Dave, you may be thinking of pjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj. She's up dare in Ontario also. I asked Scott to jack up Piper and get him to post again. Both Piper and pj were great sources of info and they offered an alternative Canadian view point. Now pretty much all we have is Scott. Lawrence and OVM don't count as Canadians. Maybe we can get Caillou, the four year old, bald whiny Canadian cartoon kid to join E.O.

I believe originally Beaker was a him. After one of Dr. Bunsen Honeydew's experiments went terribly wrong, Beaker became somewhat androgynous.

Wait, Paul McCartney is dead? Somebody needs to tell him.
He's been dead for a long, long time. Check out the cover of Abbey Road. Need more proof, play "Revolution Number 9" backwards, Paul clearly says: I'm dead. Or maybe he says: Um Phred.
Traffic might be the perfect reason to use a robot truck. I'm pretty sure that, if they do decide to use robot trucks, they'll have some kind of traffic awareness system built in that can make reflex moves a million times quicker than you and I could.
