[Accrs] Possible reason for problrm - Tony please note.

[Alameda County Central Railroad Society]

I just received this message.   See the date stamp below.  It is around 
5:40 on 7/4 my time at the moment.   Perhaps Tony has the clock set 
wrong on his computer.  An earlier date would put it prior to later sent 
messages.
