That train is the cause of most of our later and current problems. It was run in the wrong direction. The thing should have run in a clockwise direction to avoid interference with the rotation of the World. The whole World has been distorted by the way it ran, and has never been the same since. The only way to repair the damage is to send a Canadian Coast Guard ship to the pole, with a loop of plastic Bachmann track, and an old wind-up, locomotive with all metal cars. This just might, if the moon is full, at the time, solve the problem.
Finding the will of the Canadian Government to foot such a venture, or a Canadian ice breaker to do the job, along with more than 3 Canadian Sea Scouts to man her, would be almost impossible.
I do hear that there are four Girl Guides, who after selling all their cookies; are available, along with several row boats left over from a failed effort to refloat the Ark. The wind-up train set is in some collector’s possession, located in the wilds of Wacko Texas, but he won’t allow it to be removed from the box.
There is no hope for us…all I can do is continue burning old wood, plastic bags, paper and old matresses, to try to increase “Glowball” warming, so that, if the “Girls” can jank Tony out of his bed of jelly beans, in deep South Fijii; so that they can row the leaking row-boat, directly to the pole, in order to sort this whole matter out.
