Sorry but it might have been swept out the door of a trailing unit somwhere near the Alberta Saskatchewan border. The rare occasion of a deadhead crew and they were sent on a train. Some kind of a gnarly foreign locomotive. Sheesh people ride in those regular like ?

I just found a 1926 penny. It's worth 25 cents.

Whoa! It's probably valued for the copper, rather than the numismatic rarity, right Snippy?

No, Uke, that would be numismatic rarity.
A gram of copper has not reached those pricing levels. Yet. The post inflated dollar has not dropped that far. Yet.
Thanks for the note!

Since I can't stand any of the news-talk radio stations in the Seattle area, I found this Vancouver BC news-talk station CKWX 1130 AM that is worth a listen. I listen to it every morning. Major topics that repeat every 10 minutes throughout an hour are: Vancouver BC traffic...think Seattle traffic is bad? Vancouver has 6-7 major bridges that always are shit-magnets. They got a couple tunnels where shit happens alot tuu. I really find it interesting they give out where all the cops are going to be for the day with "radar" guns to catch speeders. I find that valuable information. Next big repeating subject is of course "the weather". They have some contest going at the station that if their projected high temperature for the day is wrong by 1-2 degrees celsius, then some lucky entrant wins about $8K. So far the jackpot continues to build. Next is the situation at the USA/Canada Border every 10 minutes. They report on the wait times at Peace Arch (I-5 Blaine Wa), the truck crossing also at Blaine, Aldergrove (north of Lynden WA), and the furthest out of the way is the Huntingdon/Sumas crossing that is always tempting during the holidays when waits are long. I find that interesting the flow each way at the border every 10 minutes. Next is the stock market report...what the "TSE" is doing along with a 10 minute reminder to the .1000 cent what the Canadian Dollar is to the U.S. Dollar. The Canadian dollar has been worth more for some time now. Right now is narrowed down to a penny more. And the sports report mentions "hockey" every 10 minutes. A very fast moving newscast per hour.
Uke violated rule #167, asking Snippy a question outside of the Ask Snippy a question room. Uke will probably be banned. Snippy broke rule #168, answering a question outside of the Ask Snippy a question room. No prizes for a month!

On the other hand, since Phreddie has no room, I'll ask here, I want to know what rule 166 says. And Phreddie, please tell us, is there a rule 169? Oh, and Phreddie, how many rules are there altogether?

This is all so, uh...confusing. Are you sure you're mentally prepared for the answers Cy?

Uke, I think Phreddie made it all up and there really isn't an answer. If there is, then maybe I'll ask some more questions. For clarity and understanding, you see. And, so all of us know the rules.
Gee, I hope there won't be a test later.
