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.
Heres a little travelogue- with focus on the travel part (i left my phone in my bag all weekend)
(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:
Take a look at this. Im assuming you have X, so look at the post and then the responses to it. do they really think this is an “incoherent rant”
Even without any context, I know exactly what he’s talking about. he’s describing a very real thing. Just look at the video and tell me if 1. They really don't know what Trump is saying here or 2. They just jump in and say “25th amendment” any time he talks.
“Day 22”
Of the 2026 Cavalcade
2890 miles
We stayed at the hotel yesterday. It was raining all morning, and there were heavy gusts of wind.
I asked GROK for a comprehensive weather report for our ride to Joshua Tree NP. Heavy rain, wind gust up to 50 mph.
GROK basically told me to wait until today.
So we did, of course yesterday, around 12:00 PM, the sun broke through and it was a lovely day.
I was a tad annoyed, we are in a ‘Marriott’ property and I’m a ‘Lifetime Platinum’ member, so I can wait to check out at 16:00.
We walked over to Costco which is behind the hotel, and saved some money on supper. On our way we found an historical marker here in front of the hotel. It’s for a small dilapidated adobe house just behind the hotel. It’s the oldest Adobe house in California, built in 1790.
My love bought some California Rolls Sushi, I bought a tray of Shashimi.
It’s currently 09:20, we are going to load up and leave by 10:30, as our checkin time at Joshua Tree is not until ...
