I haven't posted here yet, but I've been watching this journal since it started. It's far and away the most brilliant work I've seen. Had you been born 50 years before you were, Paul, I'll bet you would have been an ace model railroader. (Maybe you are!) The subject of mods and Didby prompts me to suggest, for anyone who cares, my dream mod -- one that would keep demand for agriculture at maximum all the time. I've been trying to build a sparsely populated farming region (similar to what one might find in parts of Iowa or the Dakotas, for example), and I find that after a while, my region has so much agriculture, the demand for it falls. Yet in real life, there are many places similar to the region I'm trying to build. Just a thought. Keep up the good work, Paul!
