     Minicapt,
     It was a station when I was a little kid. Trains still traveled the rails in town, and I used to watch them pass through intersections with their whistles blowing. The end of the rail was right beyond that station.

       To get home, you had to go to the end of the line?

       Cheers

       The trains weren’t passenger trains when I was young. They carried freight.

   So besides the “The Elements of Style”, did you also employ Zinsser “On Writing Well”?

   My copy of ELS is at work, do the second parentheses marks above go before or after the punctuation, Miss Kathleen?

     Spaceman,
     That one I didn’t use. I think they did after I stopped teaching, but I’m not sure.

     I’m thinking the second parentheses mark is this ” (what I know as a quotation mark). If so, the punctuation goes before it.

   My bad, “quotes” – too early

     Spaceman,
     I got what you meant-that’s all that counts!
