    Wow, fully packed road show here. So much nice stuff to see and so many details known and told by our Guide, Carpetbagger. Absolutely one of the hights, for me, was that Missouri diesel freight train at around 27 minutes. Beautiful chord on that horn. Along with the rhythm of the wheels it made me think of Steve Reichs composition "Different trains" or maybe inspire to an entire new song. That is the sound of America.
    Hah! And then president Taft. He sure has the same belly as the Billiken, but i doubt he would let anyone rub it for luck ...

    A little trivia about Bluto: His name was changed to Brutus in the TV cartoons because King Features Syndicate thought the name Bluto was copyrighted. Later on, they explained in the later Popeye comics that Bluto and Brutus were evil twin brothers to fix the mistake.

    Wow! Thank you for solving a 47 year old mystery. As a kid, I lived in a neighborhood in Maryland and there was a home that had 2 of those statues sitting on a bench on the front porch. One was blue and the other pink. They were about 25 inches tall. My friends and I use to pretend they were alien babies and we called them the mongshines. We use to make up creepy stories about them to scare each other. I use to wonder what they really were all about.
