I like enchiladas and tamales, but I like burritos more. However, I didn't get the chance to have any of the above. More than two hours past the pickup time (and no sign of the train or crew), they called and said my trip was canceled. They put me on another trip starting at the same place, but with a different destination. Then I just went home... and discovered I hadn't shut off the oven after baking a frozen Dutch apple pie. The next night, I could have gone to any of several other Mexican joints, but I didn't get hungry until they were all closed (even Taco Hell). When I got home from that trip at 5 in the morning, I took my sleeping pill and reheated a big plateful of leftover Chinese food.

Sat around for hours and finally allowed myself to drift off to sleep. Half an hour later, the phone rings, at 2:30 for a 5:00 pickup. Don't want to go back to sleep and don't want a parking ticket (left the van in the street; there's no parking on all city streets 2-5 am), so I decide to go out early and get an early breakfast at Denny's. Finish that and am just calling in my start trip and they call and say it's canceled, but they'll put me back on the board in my original position. Surprisingly, I get another call while I'm still there, for a 6:15 pickup. I kill another hour in the warmth of the restaurant (it's 18F outside), then arrive half an hour early... and wait until the crew shows up over an hour late. Another hour driving, the usual wait for them to get the train ready and call in, and a surprisingly short wait for the dispatcher to give them a signal. I take the scenic route back to my van partner's house, but he's not answering the phone, so I go home, take my sleeping pill, and silence the phone. I sleep well. Now waiting for another call. I'm second out. Any time worked on Thanksgiving is overtime. David Sitting on my butt while others boldly go, Waiting for a message from a small furry creature from Alpha Centauri. |

Excitement, and two families have a thanksgiving tale to tell. That last minute run to the store and a bit of inattention and bang screech crunch. Two old farts yelling and cussing at each other, first accident for either. Both are far madder than they should be, no airbags even went off, both cars can get driven to the repair shop. But at a signal that goes red in all directions for a second, how does this happen? |

They know that the lights will be green in a second so don't bother stopping, or even slowing..... Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |

I can think of one or two possible explanations. |
