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.
Heres a little travelogue- with focus on the travel part (i left my phone in my bag all weekend)
Thank you for reminding me. I wanted to talk about our post-show hangout in Memphis and here it is:
“Day 28”
Of the 2026 Cavalcade
4280 miles
We finally left Monahans, TX around 11:00.
After riding for little more than an hour, I stopped because I was sure my love was frozen.
I was correct.
I had her go into the restaurant attached to the gas station, while I finished filling up.
It’s difficult to judge a restaurant by its exterior. A place that looks good can be terrible, a place that looks like a ‘hole in the wall’ can be the best food you’ve had. The place next to the gas station was the former.
We had ‘breakfast’.
We later stopped by a Walmart to get more cheese and summer sausage for our ‘Hotel Bed Picnic’.
Yes, I let my love eat ‘Crackers in bed’. She can eat crackers in my bed…
Anytime.
By the way, my scoot has a ‘Remaining Miles’ feature. How many miles, based on my current riding habits, I can travel on my remaining fuel. It went from 92 on the windy day, to 125 yesterday (because of the trailer).
I forgot to mention the Customs and Border Protection traffic stop we ...
