A recent comment that naming a car after a wife would be expensive because the 
gentleman would need to get married.  

Please let me take a minute to point out the serious error in this logic.  
Getting married is not an expense, it is an investment.  It is an investment in 
someone to help you paint backdrop scenery, someone to come to your train room 
and mention how cute your new UP Turbine looks.   It is an investment in 
someone who will hold the bandage for you after the Exacto knife slips, someone 
to bake chocolate chip cookies for your train buddies and make sure that there 
is hot water for tea.  Clearly this is not an expense.  Similarly, buying 
trains is an investment.  I have calculated that I have about 300 hours on my 
SHS SW1200.  This includes an NMRA national, several other open house tours and 
many evenings of running.  To date, this investment has paid off in fun at the 
rate of about 0.50 per hour.  Tough to find that type of value any where else 
in the world.  Now to make this point clear, a divorce is an expense, you get 
S------ without being kissed plus you get a great deal of aggrivation that goes 
on and on.  Better that you find some woman that you hate and just go ahead and 
buy her a house and car, saving the lawyer fees.

Best wishes, 

Ken Zieska
