sending brainwashers down the drain
Wouldn't it be nice if the calendar didn't have as many zeroes in it?
There was a very strange train announcement on the train ride home last night. The conductor comes on the PA in the train and says something to this effect:
Attention, attention, um, yes, there are signals that are, um and this train is going to Vaudreuil, or um, Hudson, and yes, this is the train.
Five minutes later, he comes back on again. We were all relieved when he indicated the destination of the train, if he had said something else the lot of us would have been screaming.
Attention, this is the conductor speaking, the situation with the signals, um, yes, this is the train, thank you.
He came on a third time again with mostly nonsense.
I wonder what was up with him yesterday.
In other news the owner of my company is negociating a deal with a nearby gym that I may join as the cost proposed is quite reasonable. This would have me doing some sort of exercise twice a week at the gym. They even have an indoor swimming pool that would allow me to do laps occasionally.
Finally, I will end this post with this sentence.

My hero, Zero. Such a funny little hero. Before he came along we counted on our fingers and toes...
I had a train driver like that in Boston, but he obviously didn't have English as a first language, and his grip on it was quite slippery.
Maybe he had partaken of the 'wacky tobaccy'.

driving a train can lead one to fits of grammer failure.
