    I found this sort of cute, so I thought I would share it. A couple of days ago I observed an old SP unit (not sure what the number was, the old thing was running along at a good clip)...it was rough looking, dirty and rusty...but someone had recently used a spray can to paint over the faded Southern Pacific lettering on the side. It said "SOUTH PACIFIC". The condition of the unit brought back memories of time I spent in the south pacific...that dirty rusty unit would have fit right in there.
