thouroghly sick of the Suber Bowl crap that is everywhere in Houston

Then get away from the 'evil eye' (TV) and find your way to the city's
rail yards.  Look for the column to steam to direct you to the world's
largest operating steam locomotive, the Union Pacific Railroad's No.
3985, 'The Challenger'.  It's only 122 ft. long and weighs about one
million pounds so you should be able to spot it fairly easily.  Look it
over and see if you can determine which design feature it has in common
with many of the greatest - and some not so great but which we love
dearly - Alfa Romeo's.
