Lessons learned...

For those of you that are not aware, which is most of you, there are some railroad tracks that lead into Douglasville. The main intersection where you cross the tracks is a pretty steep hill. That is why there are signs EVERY WHERE saying that tractor trailers cannot cross there. Many o'driver do not pay attention and think that they can cross anyway. Then they get stuck, traffic gets backed up and everyone has to find another way around them while people work to get them off of the tracks.

Yesterday, this such event occurred. But this guy wasn't so lucky to stop traffic while they cleared him off. A train decided to clear him off of the tracks. We pulled up right after it happened. Being the good person that I am, I took pictures while sitting in traffic.





It was a trailer that transports new cars. There's one of those new cars in the grass.



See his cab up there facing the other direction? If you look closely, you can see a red car stuck under the nose of the train.



See, I really am a freak. I went back the other direction to get more pictures.



There's the trailer wrapped around the train.

If this isn't a lesson in railroad crossing safety, I don't know what is. The driver got out in time and he is safe. But I'm sure his career as a truck driver is ruined.


Thursday night we all spent the night with the Noles'. They watched the older 2 while I went to see "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2" with ManEater. If you have seen the first one, then the second one is a must see. And if you've never desired to go to Greece, then watch those movies and get back to me. It's at the top of my list now. OK, back to my kids at the Noles'...since Sarah has 6 kids, it really is a "Jon & Kate" type house. The kids were watching "High School Musical 2" when I arrived with the baby. There were a lot of kids dancing & singing in that living room. Speaking of my bff, My "Anne", she has a blog. Check it out!!!

I'm at my Mom's house now. I am having lunch with Dad & Judy tomorrow. It will be my 3rd, yes 3rd, time at Olive Garden. Am I complaining? NOPE! :-)

I miss my husband. And even worse, I missed a late night call from him last night. I was zonked and my Mom wasn't able to wake me up for it. Oh well. Maybe tonight.
