BREAKING NEWS! Due to the sometimes instability of Frijolene, the Governor of New Mexico has formed the Frijolene Advisory Regulatory Tribunal, or F.A.R.T.

Heh...Teaspoon, last I heard the territorial guv of New Mexico was pretty unstable himself! Like the acronym, when in doubt form another committee or agency. Like Guv. LePetomaine in Blazing Saddles once said, we've got to do something quick to save our phoney-baloney jobs, gentlemen! Hrumphh!

Some may have noticed the reporting marks for FRIJOLENE tank cars is FRT - Frijolene Recovery & Transport. Smells like success!

Dallas, your graffiti has inspired me to make a new tank for the plant, may I replicate your design? I think the graphic would add a touch of fun, and it would be right next to the rear of the Cantina, where many 'loaded up' caballeros would be passing by. Coincidence? I think not!

As for the Order of the Blue Flame, splendid idea...we need some kind of pretentious-lookng badge or silly hat. The OOTBF is an Equal Opportunity Methane-Producing Organization, all who apply are welcome! If you can manage it, try to get a seat by a window!

Certainly, happy to contribute any of the "intellectual property" presented here for the furtherance of Frijolene! I just hope none of the stray bullets in town hit the tank.

Well, the small horizontal Frijolene tank has been removed from the San Lorenzo co-op office, and two larger tanks have been placed across the tracks.


The tanks will be placed on foundations and painted and proudly labeled. This arrangement will allow tank cars spotted in the siding that ducks under the high line to be loaded for other destinations.


The small horizontal tank was moved up to the Cielo Incline station, where it was placed on a new stone foundation. There seems to be some activity here!


Inga is providing an instructional session for the miners on the proper storage and handling of Frijolene. These experienced 'jacks' know all about blasting powder and dynamite, but they have never worked with anything as explosive as this mysterious fuel before!


It seems Inga has the miner's complete attention as she presents her safety lesson. Perhaps there's a future story there...

I was thinking about the old 'Burma Shave' signs featuring a sequence of messages posted a short distance from each other, and the following Frijolene signs came to mind:

If you must break wind
Don't make a scene
just sit yourself down
at Frijolene!

It's nutritious and delicious
that wonderful bean
release the power
of Frijolene!

Any suggested slogans or similar signs that are selected for use by the Management will be rewarded with a free set of decals to the author. So, if the muse moves (pardon the expression) feel free to suggest your own Frijolene fodder for the ad department!

EDIT: reviewing the thread, I remembered that Dallas has proposed a hilarious graphic and several witty bits of prose...senor Dallas, gracias, your decals are in the mail tomorrow morning!

As to the future of the co-op, the management is considering a small fleet of new Frijolene tank cars, based on the new Bachmann 18' tank car body. Now THAT's 'cooking with gas'!

Looks like Inga is following the traditions set by her cousin Ulla in working for producers.

Thumbing through Life Magazine
saw the ad for Frijolene
Poured some down the carburetor
bang it fired, I'll see you later

see, you thought I was going to use another word

Couldn't get the old truck started

read muh 'zona Highways Magazine
saw the ad for Frijolene
poured some down the carburetor
it splashed and peeled the radiator

ate right through the thermostat
burned the brim off my good hat



Turned the key, it coughed, it farted
said to the scrapper I would cart it

bang it fired, I'll see you later
Frijolene - The Renovator

(said it that time wouldn't want to disappoint none of you cultured gents)
