This morning at the Nevada State Railroad Museum, the boys have all the toys out of the barn, including the Inyo steam engine and the McKeen motor car. There's also antique cars on display, a Civil War re-enactment and live period music. A great way to start the day before the fireworks. Have a happy 4th.

"Larry Crowne," a romantic comedy now playing at the Fandango Galaxy in Carson City, is the second romantic comedy to hit the scene after the delightful "Bad Teacher," was a hit because of Cameron Diaz' loopy, wide grin.

Sadly, "Crowne"with Tom Hanks directing, writing and co-staring with Julia Roberts, can't come up with the wit and charm of "Teacher." Where "Teacher" is profane and clever, "Crowne" plots along predicable lines from the opening when Hanks as Crowne is laid off from a big box store (read Wal-Mart) because he does't have a college degree. Sure.
