Stuff I'm glad didn't happen to me
Mount Rainier Train, originally uploaded by moliere1331.
So now that I'm almost recovered from my unfortunate injury of last Wednesday, and now that I am an official law school graduate, I think it's time I should be thankful. With that in mind, I'm going to start listing things that I'm grateful for. Number on the list is that I'm thankful I'm not this guy:
A 48-year-old Lackawanna man walking on railroad tracks while engrossed in a scratch-off lottery ticket was struck and killed by a train Thursday evening, Lackawanna police said.
"The train was blaring its horn for 45 seconds or a minute straight," Lackawanna Police Capt. Ronald Miller said. "For some reason, he never heard the horn."
Wow, the train was blaring its horn for 45 seconds, and he didn't hear it? Either this fellow was deaf, has his iPod on very loudly, or was simply really confused as to how those lottery tickets work. Have you seen some of these things? Those instructions are confusing.
