No toes stepped on, George. Your meaning was harmless, completely understood, and a bit like some of the local humor we even thrust at ourselves from time to time. It brought an opportunity for me to reassure those who aren't from this area that there's really nothing to fear. Not much different than me informing the audience about whether or not there should be concern about encountering special agents, sheriffs, bears, or hunters with poor aim out along a particular stretch of railroad. I've seen too many posts on this and other rail forums in the past where railfans visiting from far away or simply passing through the panhandle on their way to/from Montana have said they were expecting to see burning crosses or guys in white sheets.
