I was on the way to work today and stopped in KFC for some lunch to take to work. When I came out I heard a train honking for a crossing. I knew I had to hurry to catch it and get the number and railroad for the "Recently I Saw" thread. Naturally I hit EVERY red light between me and it and was even going out of the way to try to get the numbers and such. I could see the smoke rising as I was trying to catch it. I had one last opportunity to catch it. The road bends and the view is blocked by trees before the last crossing so I needed to make this last stoplight with a green to have ANY chance at all. Guess what? NO SUCH LUCK ! [:(!] [:(!] [:(!] The stoplight was red. Above the trees I again see the smoke rising but can't see the train. How does that line go, "Can't see the forest for the trees." Well I couldn't see the train because of the trees, AND catching every light red. Just my luck. [:(!] [:(!] [:(!] Getting through one red light without having to stop would have made all the difference but Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. [:(] [V] [:(] [V] [:(] I get red for EVERY light. Needless to say I was not a happy camper. [8] [B)] [8] <br />
