Hard to believe but 18 years ago, I sent the great Alfonso Cuaron an advance copy of The Shock Doctrine and asked if he might be willing to write a blurb.
He made a short film instead. This is it. Still chills me.

Not the really high, creative loathsomeness of the great sinners, but a sort of mass-produced darkness of the soul. Sin, you might say, without a trace of originality. They accept evil not because they say yes, but because they don't say no.

A thousand thanks to all who have said hello since I arrived. Much appreciated. I'm not sure what I'll be doing here (which is my standard social media strategy it must be said😂) but hopefully it will allow me to keep in contact with people I might otherwise lose my connection to.

Found a trove of pictures, so here's a thread. The ATSF line over Raton Pass is one of the toughest stretches of mainline in the US. Thanks to Otto Perry a bunch of the ridiculous combinations used to lift trains over the pass were captured. First, 2x 2-10-2s help a 4-8-4 pull the Chief 12/29/40.
