I was woken up in the middle of the night last night by a loud sound. As I lay in bed, confused, wondering if the neighbor was partying I heard what sounded like the train. For a very, very long time.

Finally, I drifted back to sleep.

Just watched local news -- the train derailed right next to our housing complex. Luckily, no one was hurt. Also luckily, this trip they weren't carrying nuclear waste or dangerous chemicals. Guess the Bird isn't going to be glowing in the dark after all.

But now I have to find a back way to get to my library.
