OK, Thread Brothers! It's been a while but it is once again Picture Time!
Here's a shot of the Front Range of the Rockies from the town of Loveland, where my stepson lives, and a shot from one of the peaks in the town of Estes Park.

Those are nice pictures!
If I remember correctly, John III is involved somehow with that railroad museum. Maybe on the board of directors?

Re: THE THREAD!!!
Thanks, Leo! You have a good eye, the layout is HO scale. 1:87 for those who aren't familiar with model railroading. My club and planned home layout are N scale, which is roughly half the size of HO at 1:160 scale.Apollo11 wrote: Wed Aug 17, 2022 6:46 am Hi all,

Re: THE THREAD!!!
I am sure that the word Gentleman has been in use longer than USA has been a country. And I suspect that the term "Officer and a Gentleman" was in is use before that as well.RangerJoe wrote: Sun Aug 14, 2022 12:55 pmWell, the US Government would commission people as "Officers and Gentlemen" but when women were commissioned, they became gentlewomen. But that is where that phrase come from.Orm wrote: Sun Aug 14, 2022 7:49 amI do not need the Government to tell me who is a Gentleman, or who is not. I can spot a Gentleman without aid.RangerJoe wrote: Sat Aug 13, 2022 10:31 pm
The US Federal Government used to make people Gentlemen as well as Gentlewomen by an Act of Congress but they no longer do so. I was never made a Gentlemen by an Act of Congress nor my own acts. After all, I let the ladies go first so I can stare as much as I want!

Besides, I am the one who decides who I consider a Gentleman. No one else has that privilege.
Regardless, I have no connection to the US Government at all, so why it matters to me how they use words eludes me.
