Going Backwards

Last night I almost missed the train due to a very long conversation. Found the train on the wrong track and almost boarded another train. Ended up having to stand most of the way but ran into an old Amtrak friend from the Cafe car. We talked for awhile and it was nice until you hear " Ah ladies and gentleman we have come to a stop here as the engineer has told me he thinks he hit something but is not sure what it was" This is were it started. Going backwards for 15 minutes, a brief examination of the "possible" scene and we wait. Train starts moving again - thank God - and it turns out it was nothing...or so they said. So thankful it was not a person...that could delay the train a minimum of 3 1/2 hours and you are not allowed off the train and they don't have food or drinks. So so glad it was "nothing"

Some guy just walked on the train & started flirting with a 'girl' He said 'Damn girl can I hollar at yo..oh shit that's not a girl.' LOL

Today I have decided that I am gonna do my christmas shopping on the Metro train. There are just so many entreprenuers here that it is so hard pass up. My family will be so happy.

Last night on the train was a festival of...well how do I put this nicely. Oh it was an eyefull. There was a lady with 4 inch long Yellow nails. She sat there like she was the queen of shedba. She was so cool. Then a few rows behind her sat this lady with her eyebrows drawn on her face. Yes I know a lot of people draw their eyebrows on, but she drew hers in square shaped. No arch just half done rectangles. I am totally serious. Lastly, well yes there were others I could mention but these were the cream of the crop. The wolfman. I had to really restrain myself to not take aa picture. This boy had 4 fingers width of jet black hair combed from his sideburns forward on his face at an angle.

- new peddler one blue line...twinkies, zingers and ho ho's. Snacktime on the blue line is his tagline. Lol

Drunk man on the train...poor guy is looped. He still drinking. Yabbering on about relationships. Saying text messages are like chasing people. You need to respect him. You got a good woman keeper. Respect. Respect. Cussing up a storm. Making conversation with everyone around him. But of course they are all f'd up. He says ethopians are the real jews. Oh boy he's the real jew. Oh and he never blinks. Lol. He likes the f word. Joy o joy.
