Hello Blusky! My name is Katey and im an aspiring author, and also an enjoy of trains. I just moved here from Twitter and looking forward to reconnect with my community who moved here and also met some new connections here too. :)
I finally had time to write a new blog post about more of my adventures this summer. This time featuring my time in Georgetown Colorado. This place easily became one of our favorite parts of our time in Colorado. katey-murphy.weebly.com/news--blog/t...

Update 2: I finally got a response to my email tonight. I wasn't ignored, forgotten or lost. It's simply waiting to be printed. Kind of annoying I have to wait weeeks for it to be printed but atleast it's still coming.

For those asking for me to share the site information. I want to make absolutely sure this is whats going on before I put them on blast. Theres nothing more that I love to do is to support small rail themed stores and businesses. If I am wrong I will feel horrible for destroying their reputation.
The joys of being women with an interest in trains.. I think im being ghosted attempting to order a book about a specific locomotive from a small online company. It's been 7 weeks and i heard nothing from them, and emails go unresponded. :/ Giving them a bit longer before I

If the result of this experiment shows they are treating me differently then I will share the information.

He lives in a completely different state than I and will be having the book shipped to his house. So they will never know its for me, all they will know is the book was ordered and shipped to a man.

So im giving them another week to respond to my email and i will also be running a experiment with a male friend. He will be buying the same book I wanted and see if he gets a better experience and most importantly the book.

Once I verify this is exactly what is going on, I will. I'm giving them a little more time to redeem themselves, and also running an experiment with a male friend. He'll be ordering the same book, to his home in a completely different state. We're going to see how fast he gets his if at all.

get paypal involved and asking a male friend for help. But this shit is ridiculous, its not the first time I've encountered the scenario but are you really that petty you wont even sell items to a women and take the money?

It's been really interesting seeing all the things they had access too, some even including photos! It's like Amazon before the internet.

My recent research rabbit hole has lead me to discovering that there are digital copies of old Sears Catalogs from the late 1800s and later, on the Internet Archive. I downloaded a few from within the era im researching and loaded them on my kindle. I've been enjoying looking through them.

Happy National Sunflower Day! Please enjoy these photos of Sunflowers I took back in 2023, I'd also like to remind you I have a redbubble where I sell these photos as prints and more! The money made from these sales help fund more research material for my writing! www.redbubble.com/people/Katey...

My last upload from Colorado! A study montage of the Clear Creek! This is probably not that interesting to most, especially with the people talking in it. Regardless, I made this video for my own personal study and found it interesting enough to make it public. So I hope you all enjoy regardless!

This is my final Go Pro Drives video for a while. This one features the drive going eastbound on I-70 but to Denver. This was such a gorgeous drive westward, I wanted to capture it again going eastward as we said good bye to one of my favorite places on earth. www.youtube.com/watch?v=22in...

πŸ‘€ Finally finishing one of my promised travel blogs. I'm embarrassed by how long it has taken me to write and publish this one. I intended to have finished them a while ago but life got in the way a bit! If all goes well, it should be up later today!
