Number Five!
There was another auto/train accident today.
That's five auto/train accidents so far on the new rail line, and the thing doesn't even officially open until Thursday.
Connelly's right -- stunts like this are a bargain.
Meanwhile, Metro's plan to shut down its midtown trolley service and force its patrons onto rail (no matter the inconvenience) is being resisted by the trolley riders. I'll be surprised if they prevail, because Metro's resources are going to be stretched way too thin once the train boondoggle starts operating and its ridership falls below estimates.

Gosh, I was hoping you wouldn't notice that there'd been another accident. I suppose there's no way of persuading you and Callie to meet us downtown on New Year's Day to ride the train free and watch them start the fountains??? You'd get to see Reliant Stadium, and they play f**tb@!! there. I KNOW you like f**tb@!!. And we're thinking of going to Lord of the Rings at the Angelika after the train ride. It should be fun. You're invited :)

I have a friend who works for Metro. Aparently, they are thrilled that there have only been 5 accidents thus far. They had projected that there would have been 15 by now. No fatalities, according to Metro, this is fantastic.
