Derailment

Poor CSX, I'm sure this will cost them a pretty penny, probably several million dollars that they were not planning to spend but will now have to in this big mess, I guess that's the way it goes running a railroad business, sometimes shit happens.
I'm sure everyone knows about the big trail derailment in Painesville, I imagine it was big enough that it got mentioned on national news. It's still about the first result you get in Google news when you type derailment in the search. It caused me to have to drive up in the village to take I-90 to and from Lakeland yesterday because I normally take route 2 to 44 and that to 90 but a section from 2 to 84 on 44 was closed because of the derailment so I had to take my detour however 44 opened at 12:30 this afternoon so I'll take that route as usual to Lakeland tonight when I'd normally only take 90 on Friday to Lakeland since I leave from my grandparents house usually but not today because I want to see how much I can see of the mess.

Now if I had myself a nice chopper I'd have flown over it to get a good look at it and take pictures and all like the news company did, actually probably only one of them took pictures and sold them or something I don't know. You really only need one to take pictures and then if they sell them to the other news companies they can make some cash and save the other companies money so they don't have to send out their chopper because sending the chopper anywhere costs a nice chunk of money, several hundred dollars. Plus they have quite a bit of regular maintenance that you must perform on them but it's worth it just for the ability to fly just about anywhere and land anywhere and be fling around and decide you want to look at something and just stop right in the air and look at it, can't do that in a plane or you will crash as you must be going a minimum speed to stay in the air. Of course with a chopper hovering is a complicated operation that requires skill, practice, and experience bet never the less it is a nice thing to be able to do so long as your engine doesn't decide to crap out on you because normally you don't hover at high altitudes where you would be able to recover from an engine failure. That's probably how I will die one day is in a helicopter engine failure unless I get a dual engine one but then it would be a huge chopper and it'd be silly to get one of those just for me, lol.

Well I'm going to work on my Cisco stuff now, have a nice day everyone.
