Had a day planned in San Diego (90 miles south) to meet up with Dad and Peg (evil stepmother) having lunch, the opera at 3pm, then dinner and spend the night... First off, I had to work on Monday in order to have this upcoming Saturday off (days off are Sun/Mon normally) for a 3 day weekend; then, it was pouring down rain...last thing is to hit California's major freeway, the interstate 5 and drive during a rainstorm... you see, Californians have not fully mastered the art of driving in rain since we hardly get any!! Sooo the trusty Amtrak train came to mind... the closest station is at the Angel stadium for you baseball fans... Hoped on train, relaxed watched the angry ocean with the stormy waves, and the horrible traffic on the freeway. Get into San Diego, get picked up, go to the very upscale Westgate Hotel for a $75 dollar lunch with wine and then on to the opera... It was a Richard Wagner opera - 4 hours of BORING! I love the opera, but the 3 of us were so bored and Dad and I kept trying to find out how the Superbowl was doing :P Finally, we staggered back to the Westgate for wine to fortify ourselves after the zzzzzzzzz opera then I was back to the station and hopped back on the train.. now it's 8:20pm... After the Oceanside station, there's a huge gap before the next station so the train is just peddle to the medal and flies down the tracks. Going northbound, the train usually pushes with the engine in the rear, my car next one in front of the engine, then 2 others in front of me. All of a sudden, the train lurched so violently that everything flew off the tables and trays.. not a pretty site watching people grab their laptops in a panic! Things fell out of the overhead compartments and couple of people fell out of their seats. Then the smell of burning brakes permeated through the car and we practically gagged; however the train never slowed, just kept going. A conductor came through and told us that the train had hit a boulder, literally leapfrogged over it and kept on going - so the train's tires/wheels had actually left the track and we were fortunate not to have completely derailed. If the train were pulling, the heavy engine would have pushed it out of the way and we probably would not have felt anything - but it was quite the E ticket ride home! Each time the train slowed and stopped at a station, the horrible burning smell filled the cars.. one of the guys said I'll be right back and came back with the small bottles of wine for a few of us sitting around him...heh yeeee haw!

Can you cry under water? How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered? Why do you have to "put your two cents in".. but it's only a "penny for your thoughts"? Where's that extra penny going to? Once you're in heaven, do you get stuck wearing the clothes you were buried in for eternity? Why does a round pizza come in a square box? What disease did cured ham actually have? How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage? Why is it that people say they "slept like a baby" when babies wake up like every two hours? If a deaf person has to go to court, is it still called a hearing? Why are you IN a movie, but you're ON TV? Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground? Why do doctors leave the room while you change? They're going to see you naked anyway. Why is "bra" singular and "panties" plural? Why do toasters always have a setting that burns the toast to a horrible crisp, which no decent human being would eat? If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there a stupid song about him? Can a hearse carrying a corpse drive in the carpool lane ? If the professor on Gilligan's Island can make a radio out of a coconut, why can't he fix a hole in a boat? Why does Goofy stand erect while Pluto remains on all fours? They're both dogs! If Wile E. Coyote had enough money to buy all that ACME crap, why didn't he just buy dinner? If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, what is baby oil made from? If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons? Do the Alphabet song and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star have the same tune? Why did you just try singing the two songs above? Why do they call it an asteroid when it's outside the hemisphere, but call it a hemorrhoid when it's in your butt? Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog's face, he gets mad at you, but when you take him for a car ride, he sticks his head out the window?
