We do indeed have an update on the running tally of trains versus people. Last time, it was Trains-3, People-0 due to idiots listening to music on their ear-buds and/or texting while walking in front of a train.
Our update comes from Regina, Saskatchewan, where a guy walking along the track very early in the morning got hit by a freight. Cops say our guy was extremely drunk when he received a glancing blow. He wasn't killed, and the train didn't derail so I guess this technically goes onto the scorecard as a goal-less draw.
Apparently our hero managed to walk (stagger) for help.
I hope he was just drunk enough to dull the pain, but not so drunk that he can't boast about it to his buddies over a beer.
'Nuff said.
Welcome! I hope you enjoy, and are maybe infuriated by, my somewhat irreverent take on world news and events, and the people who make and shape them. I hope we can share a laugh, and maybe provoke a thought, about what's happening "out there".
