• Sorta OT I guess, but I live in SOCAL, and it is curious when I get a post card inviting me to join the Tri-State Scale Model Car Club. *NM*
  • I think it's intended as an invitation to NNL East. I also received one. *NM*
    • It is an invitation to NNL East, one of the premier NNL's. Some people will travel across country to attend model events so makes sense to send the invite out to all! *NM*
      • I have been to NNL East twice and hope to return someday.... I recommend to every model builder, if you ever do get the chance, GO!!! *NM*
  • How come I don't get one?........................err....thats right I'm in Australia............rats........I knew there was a reason I got left out of all the fun....lol. *NM*
    • Andy, you have mail.😎 *NM*
  • It's a great show to go to. Puts So. Cal. shows to shame. But if you go I suggest you hire a local guide. Driving in New Jersey is 'different'. *NM*
    • Very true! My daughter has lived there since 2004 and driving in NJ is still an adventure! 😜 *NM*
    • Worse than SOCAL?? *NM*
      • Road rules are a bit different. When I was there, many roads had no left turns allowed. Forced you to go way out of your way. *NM*
        • Jug handles! *NM*
          • ? *NM*
            • That's what they call the cloverleaf style loops on the main drags, that let you make a left turn without actually turning left *NM*
              • Kinda like 3 rights? *NM*
                • Yes *NM*
                  • When I worked for the phone company they either required or recommended (I don't remember) 3 rights instead of a left. *NM*
                    • Jim, when we last talked I don't recall you having worked for the phone company. Me too! 32 years at the "phone" company *NM*
                      • Me, less than a year.....it was a sad situation. *NM*
                        • Oops! Sorry I mentioned it. *NM*
              • Delivery services all use some form of telematics now
        • Took me a day to figure out what the signs saying "All left turns, with an arrow pointing right, meant! *NM*
          • Got a pic? Be fun to post in one of the weird signs sites. *NM*
            • They only say "U turns and left turns" with an arrow pointing right . nothing special but there's this , , , *PIC*
              • 🤣🤣 The signs I remember said "All Turns" with the right pointing arrow. Haven't seen many since my daughter moved from Madison/Morristown to the rural NW part of the state. Will try to get a pic next time I see one. *NM*
  • Actually, I'm kinda curious how Tom Geiger got my mailing address!! *NM*
    • Jim, your mailing address is on the internet.... *NM*
      • Well that's distressing. *NM*
