2006mar19. I forgot to mention this. There’s a train that occasionally comes through the city. There are new federal regulations that require the engineer to blow the horn pretty much at every street crossing, no matter how slow the train is going. So for the first month or so, it was horns-a-plenty at 3am, among other times. Now they sort of skirt the rules a bit, I’m sure there’s been an uproar about it at the local train council meetings, however that works. Anyway. On December 25th, as the train was rolling through around 8pm, the engineer blew the tune “Jingle Bells.” And then ran over some winos.
Wait, take that wino crack out. It was more touching without it.
No, put it back in. Make it “fist-waving winos.” Like they were opposed to Christmas. Fuggin’ winos.
