I don't think they have any journalists left, just some one sitting in an office who rings around to get details of an incident once a member of the public phone the happening in..

Ozexpatriate Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 (edited) In a recent online CNN story the reporter referred to an observation car, decked out as the "Lady Bird Special" for the First Lady of the United States, (Lady Bird Johnson) during a 'whistle stop tour' in the civil rights era as a "caboose". It's one thing to be a railway crank, but this is simply incorrect. CNN Quote In October of 1964, Lady Bird Johnson embarked on a solo whistle-stop tour of the South, in a customized train with a special caboose, trimmed with a striped awning and a giant "Lady Bird Special" sign. She visited eight states in four days, traveling from DC's Union Station to New Orleans, making 47 stops, and speeches, along the way.

RMweb Premium kevinlms Posted June 16, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 16, 2020 I just couldn't resist sharing this: "I was in the McDonald’s drive-through for lunch today and the young lady behind me leaned on her horn because I was taking too long to place my order. “Take the high road,” I thought to myself. So when I got to the first window I paid for her order along with my own. The cashier must have told her what I'd done, because as we moved up she leaned out her window and waved to me and mouthed, "Thank you", obviously embarrassed that I had repaid her rudeness with a kindness. When I got to the second window I showed them both receipts and took her food too. Now she has to go back to the end of the line start all over. Don't honk your horn at old people. 2 2 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
