Where's the fire! Its not a fire, its Thomas the Tank Engine. Thomas is number 1 with the kids and his number painted on him is the number "#1". Thomas is a beloved train in an animated/cg long running tv series.
A full scale, life size Thomas travels the country and offers " a day out with Thomas" at private railways around the country. Admission is quite pricey but the tickets usually sell out fast for an event the kids will never forget.

Donate my car to pay asbestos lawyer
We've got an old clunker car just sitting there getting more clunkie, so I thought about donating it, but I have second thoughts, because no one should try to put it back on the road.
So the other option is to scrap it. Which is something I don't want to think about because I used to work at a car recycling factory. It's not due to bad memories, its due to future health concerns. The air quality in this factory was dismal, but every time OSHA came in for monitoring, somehow the air quality was pristine that day only.
Because it was cars that were being shredded, the dust clouds of course contained brake and clutch linings which contain the dreaded asbestos, sometimes the dust was so thick that it would darken the factory lights in the 100 foot tall building.
Of course I have contacted asbestos lawyers or mesothelioma lawyers but they don't want to be bothered unless you have already been diagnosed with mesothelioma, which as of yet (fingers, toes, eyes crossed) I have not.
So the clunker will just keep on clunkin.
Now on a brighter note here's a pic of one sweet non clunker ride.

MapQuest® "Local" Rocks !
If you have never tried MapQuest "Local" you should give it a try. It will magically show you the area that you are currently in.(okay it's not magic but it is automatic)
Our favorite thing about the "Local" function is the touch screen map. When on a smartphone or touch screen device like a tablet or laptop, you can actually touch the screen and move/scroll the map around, which is light years ahead of having to use the old style cursor icon.
The Local function gives you the option of searching for nearby locations such as food and drink, arts and entertainment, hotels and lodging, and editors picks.
A very useful tip when using a smartphone and Local is to utilize wifi, that is if you have your GPS setting turned off on the smart phone, (which you should unless you're actually in the process of using your GPS). Otherwise any application will recognize your location to be where the cell phone tower is located, which could be tens of miles away from your actual location.
Another cool feature of being a logged in user of MapQuest® is that you can post pictures of where you are or leave comments. For instance, if you found a really great restaurant on Local, you could let everyone else who uses Local there, know of your good experience.
