I was not surprised or even concerned but you shit can and does happen. When it does happen, it is usually at the worst time.

When I was testing with the CDL examiner, he missed giving me a turn and I thought, "Did I F**k up? I ended up fine but it was a tense few minutes after for me until he realized that he screwed up and not me.

No, the hardest part is having the fire put out on the 2% grade, having to get it lit again and then start out with no wheel slip, fully loaded train with the tracks wet from recent rain.

And did you know the Monorail was a stick-shift? Starting it up on the Contemporary hill can be a challenge.

And how do you make a bridge on a system that's already up in the air? Well, ride along, and I'll show you.

I find this thread alarming every time I see the first couple words of the title. I often read just the first two words of thread titles when I get the list of threads with new messages, and I expect the third word to be "be", the fourth to be "down" and so on. Then, I :eek: and take a closer look. Imagine learning of your own death on an internet forum.

Hmmmmmm!

Well, if you think about it, that would probably be one of the better ways of finding out!!!

That also raises the question, is your grasp of reality so tenuous that you have to rely on a thread post to know you havn't passed on to the great reward?

hmmm

ya need some RUM!!!

Just like to add my congratulations, sorry they seem to be a little outdated!
