Regretably, no. I've got some rehearsals. . . including one where I'm trying to close on a college Sophomore. 20-year-olds dude. It's tough- I don't think I quite have an "in" yet. . . I've got a feeling though. . .

I'm truly glad I misread this on the first pass. I'm sad to say on the initial read I placed the 's' on the following noun.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Raymo,

You have every right to be concerned; this is a musical rehearsal. The nice thing is, I am one of the few straight guys there. . .

We'll see what happens. . . she may just have some strange "daddy" crush that she doesn't want fulfilled (women are weird like that), or. . . she has a desire for some strange from "daddy. . . "

I think you're really asking, "Why do some trains operate with the engine in the rear?"

If that is in fact the case, the answer is easy: to save time turning around.

wouldn't it consume more fuel if the train operates backwards?

I don't believe it does. It still needs to exert the same power pushing as it does pulling.

Even it were to consume more fuel, trust me, if it's a diesel engine, the gains in operational efficiency far outweigh the losses in fuel.
