The outbound Blue line train derailed tonight and there was a huge fire. Right now they are saying that the brakes failed and it derailed as a result. The dragging train car ignited or smoked up. The train was undergound at this point so everybody had to file out in the dark, to the emergency hatches that are rarely used, covered in dust, cobwebs and debris....
Scary eh? Thank goodness I dont ride the trains very much. I'll be riding the Metra quite often in the next coming months and those sometimes derail. Ahh commuter life. So exciting!
Not much else to update. Counting down the days til Rumba gets here, til I move, til I get my degree, til I can go to Canada.....I'm getting impatient.
School is fine...winding down for the summer, will have a month off soon. Uber-frustrated at the department right now but whatcha gonna do, right? Oh well...
Who else was totally psyched about my A-Ha video? Come on now, you can tell me!!! That was a bitchin video back in the 80's. And Rob Thomas...oh what an angry hottie...k ya'll that song "Push" is 10 years old. I was a freshman in high school when it came out on the radio....daaaaaamn Im OLD!!!!!!
