Thank you for #5, John. It is very reassuring to hear something we all (should) know, but forget at times.

Dude, that is so funny. Or sad. Or … something.

Friday’s about 90% a weekend day anyway…

Hahaha! And true.

Here in our nation's capital that is a conservative figure. To half of the federal worker it is 100% weekend day since they take it off. To the rest of us it is like 99% weekend since the people we need to work with are all off.

Candace: Are you sure I don't look very … drunkerish?

Pontiac: Yes, being vaporized by a speeding train and writing a blog post ARE very close to the same thing.

NOT!

Though I, as does tend to happen with so many train mishaps, do tend to spend too much time getting off track.

GET IT?? GET IT?? DID'YA GET IT???

Sam: Thank you. And quit sending me naked pictures of yourself. I appreciated the first four or five, but this is just getting ridiculous.

I vote that you keep posting frequently. Just because I like it. And I like the new photos too. You look very … writerish.

John,

It can be a little too much when someone has decided to end it all by standing in front of the train, but then so is writing a good blog. No, not like standing in front of a train, but you know, difficult. You do it well, and there are some other blogs I've read that seem very well written too.

Or maybe it is like standing in front of a train. I know it is for me some days.

John,

You look fit John – good work. The workouts must be working.

Keep up the good workouts.

Wow, Dan. That does sound like the greatest job in the history of derailment. Kind of scary though, no? Kind of? Sometimes? Sounds like it could be a tad … harrowing.

John, I'm an investigator for the Chicago commuter railroad. I have been an investigator for close to forty years. Like Moses in the dessert perhaps. When trains have accidents, I go to the scene to see what happened. I also investigate passenger accidents and employee injuries.

It's interesting and I seldom know what my day will contain when I arrive in the morning.
