Train
So I was taking the train from Davis to Emeryville last night. About five minutes after I got on in Davis, the train comes to a sudden and complete stop. My first thought was that we had to stop for another train to pass, but once I smelled the burning rubber, I thought otherwise. The captain (or whatever you call the guy who makes announcements) came on the intercom and said something along the lines of "someone pulled the emergency stop lever, we don't know what's going on." So I'm talking to this lady across from me and neither of us really knows what's happening. About the same time that the cops and ambulances start to show up, we get another announcement that says "apparently someone ran across the tracks here in Dixon and everything's being investigated" which is followed shortly after by another announcement letting us know that it was, in fact, a fatality, and we would be sitting on the train for an ambiguously long time. Five hours later, I finally got off the train in Emeryville. There's a news article here about it here: http://www.sacbee.com/content/news/story/14263318p-15076285c.html
On a completely separate and unrelated note... apparently someone wanted to see pictures of my dead elbow. They can be found here:
