God reminds us from time to time how small we really are.

If you have ever experienced a large earthquake, you know what I mean. If you haven’t then you don’t know it viscerally.

Don’t you know that there was some local goober telling a local “media” bobblehead that the train sounded just like a tornado.

Does anyone else feel like that was like watching what’s happening to our country under the dictatorship of “the One”?

A train is, basically, just a trailer park on wheels.

It does seem that applying the brakes was mistake. I thought, though, that the freight car’s air brakes would automatically engage when they were disconnected from the train, like a semi-truck.
