Holy crap!

It's a damned good thing that I didn't miss the train this morning. Why?

Train hits truck in Franklin, injures 20

That's the train immediately after MY train. If I'd missed my 7:07 train - which I did at least three times last week - I'd have been on that 7:45 train.

Now, normally I get on at the station one minute further down the line past the crash site. We actually pass that construction site in the car on the way to the station, and if the crossing lights are flashing, we know that the odds are at least 50/50 that I'll have missed the train.

BUT...when I miss the 7:07 train, we take Sebastian to his school and then Teri drives me to the train station. And about half the time, she drives me to the Forge Park stop, because it's between Sebastian's school and Dean. In which case, I WOULD have been on that train when it hit the bucket-loader. In other words, I've BEEN on that train several times in the past few months.

I hope that doesn't sound as confusing to you as it does to me. Anyway, I'm okay, and the people on the train only had minor injuries.
