These are sitting about 100 yards behind our facility. I take that road into my office each day. They had removed the objects in the road overnight and I was able to drive by this morning. Crazy scene.

At least it wasn't the poop train that rolls through Bama.

Weird. There was a train derailment up here in Northern Indiana as well. 30 cars, no hazmat.

When you think of all the cities this could happen in, does Fort Worth ever cross your mind?

Fun Fact: Weird glowing circles around the moon cause an increase in train derailments.

Good thing is that looks pretty tame for a derailment. Mostly unloaded cars except for that one covered hopper that looks like it was carrying salt or maybe plastic pellets.

Let me in a pile of cocaine like that and I'll have those cars cleared out in about 2 hours.

I’m literally visiting Fort Worth right now AND I flew here on Southwest. This is going to be me.

(Speaking of trains and Fort Worth - why is Saginaw listed as a nice suburb of the city? I wasn’t feeling all that cozy driving up to the monstrous grain facilities.)

Link? Because that's a shithole.

On a side note, go eat at Cooper's bbq for lunch.

I don’t remember which link. I think it was a Reddit comment plus the four star rating from Niche.com. Its honestly been hard finding a nice suburb that doesn’t require buying a $750k+ house. I liked Keller and Roanoke though.

I did Heim yesterday for dinner. It was great. Interviewing all day today and then probably eating near Dallas Love before my flight.
