California State Railroad Musuem

On Saturday 24Apr10, decided to keep exploring my new habitat in Sacramento, CA by traveling with my friend Jack to the California State Railroad Museum. Lots of nice railroad artifacts from large working trains to toy trains. Also took a 40minute ride on a train up the Sacramento River while in Old Town.
The museum was full of trains both full size and toy form. The most impressive was a hugh front cab train weighing over 1million pounds and just plain enormous.
There were Pullman sleeping trains, dinner cars, mail cars, toy trains and an area where kids can play with wooden "Thomas the Engine" train set.
Learned much about this once main and wonderful method of transportation.

Great day.

Sacramento River Cats Opening Night

On Friday 16 Apr 2010, I attended the openning night of the Minor League Baseball team, Sacramento River Cats, with tickets from my friend Jack. The AAA team plays at Raley Field located in West Sacramento.
The atmosphere was nice will a stadium full of people looking forward to the game. Had a good time seeing the Rivercats comeback and win the game.
I'll probably go to more games it was rather fun.

Saw the horrow movie "Black Christmas"

On this rainy day,just saw the 1974 horror cult classic, "Black Christmas". Very good! Its from the same guy who gave us everyone's favorite "A Christmas Story". It pre-dates "Halloween" by a 4 years and many say its where the actual teen-slasher movie actually started. Funny to see a pre-Superman Margot Kidder in it.Recommend it as it is funny in places as well.
Truth be told I really wanted to see the movie as it stars the beautiful Olivia Hussey. I currently have a strange infatuation with this movie star of the past. I'll get over it once the hockey playoff starts.
