MOTHERFUCKER!!! im stuck in LA til at least monday night. and im not happy about it. booooooooo. :(
Why the delay?
my train hit and killed a kid, which delayed us 3 hrs. consequently i missed my connection in KC which meant i had to stay overnight in KC and catch the next train west. which meant i missed my flight home to oz. there was a mix up with rescheduling i.. im flying employee stand by and it cant be fixed til business hours monday. so sunday arvo in LA i should know whats what. damn there better be something to amuse my arse here. :think:

Kinda like, "Oh, Lord, stuck here in Lodi again", huh?

a 14 year old kid was walking along the tracks listening to his ipod or whatever and didnt hear the train warning signal. the train hit him. he died. i have to say it non chalantly otherwise ill start to think(again) that i have a son the same age who always always walks everywhere with his headphones on.

this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say
so hell A this isnt how i wanted to discover your delights... wondering when the fuck i was able to leave but..
today i took the train out to long beach, wandered around a bit, took some pics, saw a sea lion and got to talking to a complete stranger. guess which one shocked me most??? :think:
on the way back to my very cheap emergency accommodation in hollyweird i stopped off in watts to check out the towers built by simon rodia and now a national historic landmark.
looks like im outta here tomorrow night for reals.. . after some very anxious moments.
oh and can someone please tell me why does hollywood boulevarde smells like piss???

That's so incredibly sad that a teenager was killed by the train.
Why do people walk on the train tracks?!!!!!!!!!!!!!
because sometimes its the most direct route and your traintracks appear to be very open and available.
They are open and available but...gee...they are like highways for trains! :wtf:
and check this...
the area where we hit the kid was an area where trains arent suppose to toot their warning signals cause its a snotnose area that cant possibly have its serenity broken by the occasional train horn.. yes kirkwood im talking to you. anyway the driver ignored that ridiculous rule, but to no avail.

ugh finally managed to print off some of my pics. due to judicious culling i ended up with only 260 odd from nashville, chicago and a wander around creve coeur lake and st charles, MO. 1 memcard down, 3 to go. slowly... slowly... :thumbup:

sure they have veggie options. It's kind of a landmark. Horse tour is optional. It's just a pretty amazing area to walk around. Same rules apply though. Dress warm . It's been years since I've been there, but I remember that it was pretty cool. Are you planning on hitting up Ottawa? It's less than two hours away.I'm

nope. no ottawa. just montreal and then on to st luis via chicago. tbh i didnt think my first visit to canada would be via montreal. or so short. but its there, close enough to NYC for a roundabout detour. mind you NYC wasnt even on my original itinerary except to transit through but it turns out bad relkgion are palying so i moved my roundabout detour forward a day and voila! im seeing BR and staying on the upper west side for the first time. i love travel!
