I enlarged the old steam engine photo. It enlarged easily on my dial-up which is appreciative. The detail showing how chains are used to work the steering it seems. A late Happy Valentine's day to you Susan. mark/salty

Perhaps, it may even help family and friends understand what it is like to live inside the mind of someone who is mentally ill, and what it is like to have a breakdown. I have been hospitalized a total of three times due to mental breakdowns.  When I was much younger, they were called nervous breakdowns, I prefer the newer term. As for what it is like, I will do my best to try and explain. Believe me, if you have never suffered from one, you...
