There was an old story from Yuma that involved a young man missing the train set to arrive at 3: 09:59 seconds pm. He knew how to tell the exact time since he had an original Hamilton (designed for Brinks) chronograph watch. The stopwatch hand does not move unless activated and was designed for timing thoroughbreds. The second hand at the bottom of the dial moves continuously. I know it is hard to understand. He decided to buy a carriage and take the journey to Oklahoma; just 58 miles down the track although the journey took three hours. He may as well just get a carriage with two good horses for the price of the ticket. He approached a man who had two carriages standing close to his dental practise. The dentist noticed that the boy was quite able but not too bright though. The boy asked if one of the carriages were for sale. The dentist said, "...I just happen to have an extra one on hand as my partner just passed on." The man asked for the cost, they agreed to terms, the dentist took $70.00 and told the man to come back in an hour with the difference. The man came back, the dentist was still there but the carriage was removed by the actual owner; the dentist's friend who was the police commander( they used to say chief or sheriff before trains were designed). The man enquired about his purchase of the horse and carriage and the dentist said come back next week. It will be here. Just settle down and make sure you bring the difference. Your name is on the horse's hoofs by now or maybe my name is on it by now. You could check next week if you like but make sure you bring the difference. You should have noticed that the side of the carriage read "Exodus". The man came back and the horse carriage was there as promised. The man's wife just got out of hospital for an unusual inability to read and choose who she wanted to be in life (a self-induced and inflicted but unrecognised confusion of some kind) and arrived by train on the 10:10 pm train. The man's name was on the hoofs and they decided to attend the dentist's synagogue. They settled in that town, opened a houseware store called "Unbelieveable For Some" with a few Christian partners and lived happily ever after. The train driver showed up to buy some cups and some dish towels. He chose the set that had following saying printed on it positively, "...education is not only to show yourself approved in some course or discipline but to know yourself and your natural giftings. Sometimes, you won't know until you push yourself so think "balloonist-astronaut-circa 1877 or ambassador to the Philippines-circa 1877" for as long as possible. The train driver dropped a copy of his new baked snack design on the ground. His name was on it. They were called "Neighbours".
