Oh, you helped move the wrecked equipment down to Moorpark?

Kinda.  My contractors hauled everything off when we were finished.

I handled the environmental cleanup side of things.

6.2 miles away. I helped clean up the first one, so its pretty crazy to have a second incident right down the road.

Pray to god they don't implement high speed along existing 'neighborhood tracks' like this. CA legislature can't be that dumb, right?

There was another train/truck collision last night, a block or two away from last week's incident, on the same tracks.

Well, it sounds like she has the 'young and dumb' part figured out.

I bet her daughter's name is something ironic, like Chastity

Was -10 here in Hartford Connecticut a couple mornings ago. Sitting in the airport and it is snowing . Hopefully no delays.

Going to be cold as balls when I get home

Still better than 80 degree weather, right?

Damn, now I want chicks with tits

The Metrolink trains chug along at a pretty quick clip, around 70mph.

That's a metric shit ton of mass and inertia to stop.

The big heavy freight trains (2-3 miles in length, 55mph or so) can take upwards of 2 miles to come to a stop, and that's if the track was completely straight.  Add curvature to the track and the braking time increases.

The Metrolinks are much shorter and lighter, but I would think it would take at least a mile for them to stop.

Any time you foul the tracks (ie: park a vehicle or equipment within 25 feet of the rail [freight rail standard distance, Metrolink may be different]) you need clearance and to have a flagman present at all times to act as a lookout.

The latest news report says it was a produce truck that was parked on the tracks and that the dude got out and ran away.

F*cking asshole.

Also, the combined blackness quotient for the Ducks and Angels combined is now zero.

Racist.

Don't know much about him, but it seems like a pretty even trade.

Will be nice to have another speedster besides Cogs, and it doesn't hurt that he's a LW.

We'll need the depth there while Beleskey is out.  Bourque has been garbage, and Etem is bleh.

Nice to see Beauch back healthy.

Silfverberg is a sniper in the shootout

I saw a few people on Facebook post about having attended this:  http://holyship.com/

This is my nightmare.  

Stuck on a boat in the middle of the sea, surrounded hipsters and ravers, being subjected to non-stop house music.

 

For your listening pleasure:

 

 

"The radio was playing, Desmond Dekker was singing..."

Reggae in college meant chill time, now it sounds too mellow and boring.

Reggae-inspired punk and ska is where its at

His one secret will leave you SPEECHLESS!

Went to the Rio and Mexi Casa in the same day

What is the story about? I recall somebody comparing it to Story of O

Burger Records is a creepy place.  The folks working there, and their friends, are always blitzed.

Last time I was in, there was a dude frying on acid trying to climb up on the displays to pick records off the walls.

I'm surprised anyone affiliated with that shop has the cognitive ability to organize a bake sale, let alone a concert.

Americana is arguably their worst record from the 90's.

Smash and Ixnay beat it by miles.  If they did Smash, and with Rancid doing Wolves, plus all of the great ska bands on the bill, I would seriously consider jumping on a plane.

Side note, being stuck in traffic this morning allowed me to listen to Wolves front to back.  It's a goddamn masterpiece.

Rancid playing Out come the Wolves live would be nothing short of epic

Offspring doing Americana can just go to hell

Killer lineup overall

I have a guy in my office who recently transferred from New Jersey.

All he can do is talk about how much he wishes he were back east getting snowed in and frozen to death.

Fkn twilight zone, man

Just scribble some heiroglyphics on the outside of the bottle

Or teach the kid to eat the crusts.

Anti-crusters are what's wrong with America

Would you go if you knew there would be a black person there waiting for you?
