    The Man in the High Castle

    I'm not on Amazon prime, so I could only watch the first episode and that was that. I laughed out loud to see the scene where they walked out of what was the Roslyn Café in Roslyn, WA (which was often shown in the series, "Northern Exposure" subbing for a fictional town in Alaska) as I've been...

    The Nazi Gold Train

    Yeah, but had they not focused their resources on such horrible things that did nothing to help them win the war, they sure could have delayed VE day by quite a while.

    TV series set in the Golden Age

    Anyone ever see the short series, "Island at War" about a fictional Channel Island and the German occupation? Great series, I was bummed it didn't continue. It seems that all drama about the channel islands covers the times when things were going well for the Germans. I'd love to see a drama...

    Leather Name Tag for A2

    Again, such a shame they don't want anyone with a Hotmail or Gmail account... Sounds like something I'd probably look at but I'm not going to pay for an email just to join any forum.

    Leather Name Tag for A2

    Thanks, I'd never even heard of that and I was into A-2s and the like from way back... Sadly, I won't be able to join as my email is through Hotmail and I don't join any forum that requires I get a whole new email I have to pay for, just to join it.

    Two good men killed in a WW2 M-18 Tank Destroyer this week...

    A very young guy in my WW2 living history group and another local collector I knew were both killed in the second guy’s restored WW2 tank destroyer. They were firing live rounds out of the main gun: http://www.ktvz.com/news/explosion-in-tank-east-of-bend-injures-2-possible-fatality/36082806 The...

    I always made my own... BTW, what is this VJL that people are referencing?

    Vintage Picking and Road Tripping with Dinerman

    Nice shots. I have crossed this country more than a couple of times now on land, and now I'm kicking myself I've never simply stopped to look at the type of stuff you just posted. I'm always on the way to see a museum of anything RR related.

    What's wrong with this?

    You gotta love a very much postwar B-52 on a WW2 item...

    When did the penny drop?

    I lived two houses down from a nice man who'd been in the Hiterjungend and later the Whermacht in the last month of the war. He was on the Eastern edge of Germany in anticipation of the Russian attacks westward. Said he got bombed by Russian planes and they all fled West as they had no support...

    Good DVD with ALL of the Little Rascals shorts?

    Yeah, that didn't happen. I finished the entire series last week and when I was done, I was glad I didn't spend the money on the set. It was neat to watch, but I found myself using the fast forward button a lot.

    The Nazi Gold Train

    I once read an Army document written in the 50s where it stated that one of many reasons that Germany lost the war was their inability to focus on the war itself. In short, they were too focused on generations after the war instead of all the allied nations slowly creeping into the Reich. Had...

    Got this on Mt Rainier yesterday afternoon... with my cell. I took my good (Canon 24MP) camera up there as well but haven't downloaded those shots yet.

    My wife and I and a couple we hang out with went to NYC for a week, then took an Amtrak train all the way home to the Pacific NW (3332 miles by rail, using four different trains). Here are some random shots I got on that trip in NYC, PA and along the way home:

    Vintage roadside

    Highway 27 through Florida had a lot of places like this. Then I-10 and it's connection to I-75 and 95 later on came through north of there and killed all that. I got to see some of these places as a kid but drove through the area a few years back and saw it was ALL gone. I hope someone compiles...

    Good DVD with ALL of the Little Rascals shorts?

    True. At least the Three Stooges learned from this and paced their material far faster for movie audiences. I agree there's a neat 'slice of life' element to the Rascals shorts, in that many were obviously filmed off the studio grounds. One short titled, "Railroadin'" is amazing, as it was...
