At Anchor Today in Stumptown

[emeraldsedai]

Taking on grain at the Steel Bridge elevator today, the Global Challenger, not to be confused with a famous hot air balloon of the same name.

The huge grain hatches were open, and stenciled in very large block letters on their undersides were the words "SAFETY FIRST". You will see the irony of this in a moment.

That was my thought. They looked kind of freshly-painted.

Good story! I swear that if these things were printed in the paper I'd read 'em! Or listen to 'em on the radio. I swear!

I'm glad you're enjoying them. I'm perfectly happy with my little LJ audience, but I appreciate the vote of confidence!

You have such an entertaining way of writing about these ships. I always look forward to one of these posts.

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoy them. Watch this space for another edition in the next day or so. We seem to be in the busy season at the grain elevator.
