The Missing Caboose

Don't you think trains look unfinished and kind of naked without a caboose? Since I no longer live in Rochelle, IL(train capital of the world), I don't see that many trains; I did have to wait on one today and there was no caboose. There haven't been cabooses on trains for a long time but it just reminded me of how silly they look without them.
When I was a little kid I used to imagine all kinds of things going on in the caboose. You would actually see a guy sitting in the window sometimes and he would often wave back if you waved at him. I always thought they had bunk beds and a place to eat back there. I guess I thought those trains just kept rolling all the time.
My NCAA brackets are a mess!! That Northern Iowa win over Kansas last night was the coup de gras. It was so cool to see puny UNI as we called them growing up, beat the big school. AWESOME!!!! I'm sure all the cousins who still live in Northeast Iowa were excited too. Now that they screwed up many of the brackets in the country, I hope they make it to the Final Four.

OK I'm done now, guess what time it is kids? That's right, time to work on the blanket. Ta
