BNSF GP60 121 with Graffiti Decorations, Flagstaff, Arizona.
I had driven up from Florida with my Father-in-Law, Roger who wanted to see the Grand Canyon before heading off to the after life. Having set up at the Station in Flagstaff I asked Roger if he would be kind enough to pop across the road and get us both a coffee. I take my black; Roger has cream and sugar. While he was away I took the opportunity to photograph BNSF GP60, #121 complete with Graffiti.
10 minutes later Roger duly reappeared with 2 polystyrene cups with lids, one with a blueberry muffin on it. I enquired who the muffin was for and was bluntly told that it was his. I asked why I hadn't been brought a muffin, to be told, "You didn't ask for one". After handing me my cup Roger duly flipped the lid off of his and loudly exclaimed, "Idiots, they've given me black coffee" and proceeded to pour out the entire contents in disgust. Looking at him in total disbelief I slowly lifted my lid and replied, "That's funny Roger, they seem to have given me a white one". Roger got a coffee, I didn't. As a footnote, he also didn't think that the Grand Canyon was that "Grand". What do they say, "You can choose your friends but you can't choose your relatives". Pity!
