I visited a hobby shop to get some paints for my Shuttle/747 model and met a railroad/bus enthusiast. We exchanged stories about how he is also hassled by authorities. He is obsessed with paint schemes of old railroad cars, such as the California Zephyr. He also gets harrassed by taking photos of old buses and railroad cars. Sound familiar? He also photographs aircraft. He remembers both the PanAm roof at JFK and the rocking chairs at CTB at LGA. We reminisced about how times have changed. He has published books about railroad car schemes as well. He is trying to get a model of the SouthWest Texas aircraft; he is obsessed with that livery. Also, on last weeks' evening news, they had a feature on Whale Watchers. They travel all over the world just to see a certain white whale for a few seconds; they are obsessed and cost is no object!
