Heading in to do Americas Newsroom (10:40am hit)
Re: my photo- Watch The Gap is what it said here in the United States. in England, it’s “mind the gap.”
Is this the most pressing concern of a commuter? “The gap” refers to the space between the car and the train. I’ve never seen anyone fall into the gap- I’m sure it has happened, but I’ve seen several people fall onto the tracks. And I’ve seen several people almost have their heads crushed because the were leaning over the tracks while not being aware a train was thundering toward them.
Shouldn’t the warning be “Don’t Get Hit By The Train” or “stand back! 48 people fell into the tracks last year at this station alone!” …something like that?
I may be wrong, of course, generally these things develop because the people who run the system see a need. At least that was the way it worked for a few centuries, it’s changing now, but back when Mind The Gap Was first introduced, the world was not as stupid. (People are not more stupid now, but they behave stupidly as is required by current standards and practices)
Perhaps “The Gap” is what causes the most injuries, liability claims, etc. your thoughts are welcome.
I find this woman’s response to be ridiculous enough to dismiss but interesting enough to discuss
Thank you for reminding me. I wanted to talk about our post-show hangout in Memphis and here it is:
“Ice Cream!”
— I’ve not dropped a ‘Story’ in a ‘Coons age’, so here ‘tis —
One if the most Seminal moments of my life…
Please, don’t laugh.
I’ve only been able to relate this story recently with out breaking down in tears.
It scared my little six year old soul that deeply.
It was 1968, we lived in Anchorage Alaska.
I was in the first grade.
We were doing a ‘Unit’ on ‘Native Alaskans’.
1/4 of my class just happened to be ‘Native’.
The Grandmother of an Inuit kid that I played with, in my class, was coming in to demonstrate how to make ‘Eskimo Ice Cream’.
I was so excited, I couldn’t wait for the day to come.
Momma was a waitress, Daddy was an E-5 or E-6, in the USAF. Living off the Alaska economy. The only ice cream I ate with any regularity was ‘snow ice cream’.
Snow
Milk
Sugar
Vanilla
So my big little ass was in Heaven…
ICE CREAM!!!
Then the day arrived…
His lovely grandmother showed up, wearing a ‘Native’ outfit complete with ‘Muk-Luks’.
Hot damn!!
I couldn’t almost ...
When I do a hit on Fox News and then they write an article about it, they always kind of clean it up and make it seem like I made more succinct point than I made.
(Well I did make a good point …what I mean is the editors take over and they kind of re-explain my soundbite, and if you read the article, I feel like they made it more clear than I made it!)
So read the article and then look at the video, and you’ll see what I mean.
