Regarding the old "thrashers" reunion in South Carolina.  Is this a
reunion of old wrestlers and boxers?  ;-)

Another good place to see steam in operation is at our Antique Steam &
Gas Engine Museum in Vista, California, where we have 40 acres of old
equipment operating.  We don't do any thrashing, but twice a year we
have a threshing bee, when we thresh wheat, and oats.  Visit

Just thought I'd clear that up.
