You're the one who changes the things on railroad tracks that make the train curve off onto another track.

Or a train engineer, or caboose guy?

Caboose sounds like something to do with booty...?
I'm sure a caboose guy is not a job description in Britain.
At least not one that is paid.

You don't see a caboose much anymore;technology has made them obsolete.

You might know them as brake vans (according to wiki).

When I was a kid we always waved to the train driver and the caboose guy. The drivers will, most often, still wave back.

I'd love to convert an old caboose into a guest room or something.

My friend's father did that way back in the 60s or 70s, in the Poconos. Had the caboose moved there and set on a length of track. My friend's brother lives there now.

There was not much privacy.

Oh I wish. I have no money and no land. I'll let you know after I win the lottery tonight.

Tiger and I read a book today that ended in the family having their holiday (vacation) in a double decker bus. He was SO taken with the idea that I suggested to Mum he might want to watch Summer Holiday with (dad's favourite) Sir Cliff Richard.

It was my childhood dream to tour Europe in a converted double decker bus. As per the above film.

We camped one site over from a converted red double decker bus when my family was camping across Europe. I think it was outside Rome. Anyway, it seemed so incredibly cool! It was a decent sized group, like maybe ten or fifteen people, but they had so much room! I wanted to ditch my family and jump on that bus.

Well after all, Carrie doesn't live here any more
And from what I remember, she had the room on the second floor.
There's a reasonable chanche she was abducted and killed.

But what can you do, eh?

I picture one behind my house (my new log home) set back into the woods a bit, where guests could stay if they wanted. My nieces would love it.

I'm dreamy today.

Kids' favorites always seem to involve absent parents or dead parents. Especially popular when the parents come back at the end and praise the kids for being so independent and resourceful.
