who does this a$$ at yahoo really work for

Here in SoCal,we have a long history of people trying to beat the train/or just being stupid and stopping on the tracks.I've seen pictures of a Kenworth reduced to the rails and fuel tanks by a train---and trains that have been derailed by a Grand Cherokee stuck on the tracks,and a flatbed with consruction supplies on board just stopped on the tracks.Last week,a bigrig lost it's brakes,ran a redlight and turned a Ford Focus into a deathtrap for two.It ended up looking like it had allready been put in the crusher at the dismantler yard...So,your "and not necesarily in that order" is an honest obeservation.

 

Darn shame! We have a lot of that here too. People thinking their crush-proof rice-rocket can beat the train. Rural school buses are frequent flys, squashed like a bug. Usually after their shifts, thank God. Its like the contractors know their bus is in bad shape, and they want a new one.

 

It's always scared me how easily school busses come apart in what would be fairly minor accidents,if city transit busses were involved.It was only a couple years ago that the Los Angeles Unified School Districts made it a regulation that school busses had to have seatbelts.And it only took videos of kids flying around the inside of busses,when they went over bumps in the road,to convince them.

 

We had two amish friends Laverne and Joseph. They were doing a lot of woodwork in the old downtown stores in my hometown. Ours was not one of them, but it was a gun store at the time, and they used to always come in and buy ammo and shoot the breeze with my dad. Good times!

 

hell yeah!!!!

thats why, when i was in high school, we always fought to sit over the rear wheels on the bus! (guess that explains the back problems!)
