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.
Please use the term media cave, - I hate the phrase man cave - it’s reductive and derogatory. As Sebastian Maniscalco said “my father had a man cave it was the house”
Thank you for reminding me. I wanted to talk about our post-show hangout in Memphis and here it is:
“Ensconced in Elkhorn Ridge”
Spearfish SD.
It’s snowing…
It was a mix of snow and rain for the last two hours of driving.
Since I’ve gotten older and wiser, I absolutely hate driving in the rain. Especially with the rig.
I can ‘feel’ the trailer slide in curves, and my truck by itself has a ‘light ass’, I’ve gotten it ‘sideways’ on three different occasions. While I can drive well, getting sideways in it, can make you get religion.
Pictures: you can see the snow in the second picture
“Great visit with new friends”
A wonderful time with two citizens of ‘Shillueville’, @CBMichael @JoeBlueHouse and Joes lovely wife Lisa.
Our next time through we will definitely plan a longer visit!
“Ensconsed on Lake Manawa”
Near Council Bluffs IA.
We are right on the lake.
I had an audience backing in our spot.
I usually do, I’ve been backing up trailers in general for 30+ years and The Big Blue Beast for almost 9, so I’ve had a little practice.
The hardest part of our spring move to Montana is backing out of our winter quarters. Which has a curvy driveway, with lots of trees.
