The holiday season is going into high gear.
I got a message from a Facebook group I belong to, that said that Santa was going to make a visit to Fort Madison, in about 2 minutes.
I, of course, stopped what I was doing, to check it out.
Almost exactly on time, the Southwest Chief made its appearance. It seemed that they mostly took professional photos for Amtrak, or Fort Madison, but I am sure it was cool for the passengers.
I really wish I had waited a bit for my trip, but that is life. No kids going home, no major storms, we had a great time.
Further interrogation reveals that Ricardo the Texas Longhorn was actually on the way to Ft. Madison to have Santa grant his wish NOT to BE dinner at a local steakhouse. His reasoning, it was revealed, was if the President can pardon turkeys for Thanksgiving..........
