  1. That is very cool. If one has not visited a display of steam engines, I urge them to attend. The various engines show clever, sometimes ingenious, applications of mechanics. If anything, you'd witness the force in the power of steam.

  2. You have to be a certain age to have a clue who Mike Mulligan is.

  3. That's wonderful. I spend the week of July 4 at the Southeast Old Threshers Reunion, and we have a steam shovel. I'm on the power gang, and I've gotten to run a lot of the equipment, but I still have a lot of deus to pay to get on that.
