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.
(OK the last post seemed like it had no sound.) Here's the headline video- as I said it's just me thinking aloud about what would make me want to click on a headline when I'm scrolling...
I thought I might beat Michael to this post. Look at this video how often do you do this? I recorded all our entrances including Greg and then I went around the panel to show all the people who are on tonight- then I pressed the button to stop but I wasn’t taping (i do this a lot)
Thank you for reminding me. I wanted to talk about our post-show hangout in Memphis and here it is:
“Day 14”
Of the 2026 Cavalcade
2007 miles
“I'm baaaaaaaaack!
I'm back in the saddle again
I'm baaaaaaaaaaack!
I'm back in the saddle again”
We picked up the scoot around 17:45. The Svc Mgr texted me;
“It’s all done, but it’s hard getting it into neutral. We may have to keep it another day.
“It’s always been hard to get into neutral.” I responded
“Can you get here by 18:00?”
I could and did get there by 18:00.
We rode to Bodega bay, and picked up the Camper. Ricardo, the gentleman whom let us store it in his driveway had it blocked in with a car, so that nobody could mess with it. After we were able to find him, we tried to slip him $40.00 for letting us store it there but he refused.
We made the round trip back to Walnut Creek. Reloaded the trailer, and dropped the rental car off.
We then made the hour and a half ride to Half Moon Bay.
Except the last 7 miles took over an hour. So it was more like 2 1/2 hours. On one hill, I pulled off onto a shady pull off to let the scoot cool.
Not only...
