Great story, thanks for posting. Next time the rails disappear in TS keep on driving, it’s your civic duty!

If you wait for perfection you will never do anything but it doesn’t stop you wanting it.
Age doesn’t stop you, it just slows you down.
If you only learn one thing in life - learn to think how your actions and words affect others BEFORE doing or saying.
