Do you think they posted that to avoid drunken passengers? I thought it would warm you up. Remember the cook who survived the Titanic sinking and was retrieved from the water because he drank so much brandy? Hmm. Maybe that was a myth. Not sure. But in books and movies, they sure ladled spirits into people rescued from the cold.

I feared my bladder would shake right out of my body. When we turned around, they let me climb up top and ride shotgun. It was much more comfortable.Linda LaRoquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16672522522233696282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-88173573508746603412013-08-03T10:52:41.010-05:002013-08-03T10:52:41.010-05:00Thanks for coming by, Susan.

Someone had questioned my story where I had the heroine wait to have the door opened and help out. So when I saw that there was no handle on the inside it gave me validation, and it is a long step down to the boardwalk, too. ;)Paisley Kirkpatrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06401039126457210324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-89284435611630903692013-08-02T17:32:56.442-05:002013-08-02T17:32:56.442-05:00You're right, Gerri.

I sorta feel like I need to go take a shower now, what with all spitting practice going on in the comments above. ;-) Plus, like Celia, I've been fascinated by old stagecoaches in museums and living-history events for ages. I've even climbed all over a couple. Probably best I don't dwell on all that spitting.
