Update: All inmates involved are work release. The driver had a valid driver's license. They reviewed his previous and current record (DUI's and Meth) and still saw fit to let him drive others. The corrections department has stopped this "program". (Duh - something about a horse and a barn door)
The State will, I am positive, have huge lawsuit(s) from this (which means the taxpayers) and the dipstick will go back to prison at least for awhile. Parole was due in 2014.
My edges get crispier with each new detail.

We are have 100+ temperatures now, and expect to break the record for so many such days in a row.

Wow. Just. Wow. What were they thinking? I love it when stuff like that happens...I hope that the family involved get some recompense for that...

Good Saturday morning everyone. Sunny, less humid today, looking for a high in the mid to upper 70s, low 80s, then rain coming in this afternoon. Tonight, supposed to get down to 63, 64 degrees. Time to open windows (if I can find any that can be opened).
Mookie, so sorry to hear about the accident and loss of life. Like the others have said, hope her family gets compensation.
Everyone have a good day, take care, keep safe, and I'll see you all again, whenever I can.
Major noise in our fair city. Lawyers are having a brawl over who will get this case and then can take on the state, corrections officials, govenor, mayor, politicians, oh - and the inmate who is now back under lock & key - I think.
Weather very comfortable. Train watching early - lots of freight and only 2 coal trains - one coming and one going. Even had a Herzog train go thru with their own box truck chained on a flat car. And what I think might have been a port-a-you know.
afternoon
chores are done. nice outside right now. guessers say some storms possible. pizzas are ready to bake and eat .monday we move to new digs. Mook's would some ice cream help cool you down?
stay safe

Dear Joe! I would love some raspberry sorbet! Not big on ice cream, but sorbet is wonderful! Goes with chocolate cake, too!
West bound on IH 10 headed home, through downtown Houston, car says the temperature is 105 without the heat index, didn’t bother drinking the bottled water at work, just poured it straight over the head and let it soak in!

Not a bad weekend on the railroad - reasonable passenger counts and decent weather.
The folks who did "River and Rail" this weekend (paddle down the river, ride the train back) got a real ride as the Moose River was running pretty high. Not as high as the Mohawk, which went a couple feet over flood stage in some places, but still ripping right along.
I was conductor on Saturday, engineer on Sunday. While I enjoy the job of being engineer, sometimes I miss interacting with the people.
Lots on the agenda this week, including three more days on the railroad. And the fireworks in Old Forge.
