How the fuck do ya get your car 'stuck' on the tracks? Apparently people are more imaginative than we know!

Which leads to this; What would Jeezuss do? Go ahead ask...

Here Snippy excitedly clicked on this lynx just knowing there'd be another HAWT!!! teacher for his TEACH program, a 503(c)(3) federation.

A close analysis of this story reveals that this incident did NOT happen on the main in Maine.

EAST KINGSTON, N.H. Fire officials in East Kingston say no one was hurt when an Amtrak Downeaster train hit a car that was stuck on the train tracks.

Many apologies for misleading *cy* into really, really bad newspaper reporting! Yes it is ***'s failure to do better research. Train movements, and schedules (for Amtrak) must be re-read carefully, in order NOT to pass along misleading information.

Sorry again *cy*! Plus this:

The driver said she isn't from the area and was using a GPS system. She followed it onto the train tracks. (the perfect excuse)

Amtrak officials say the Amtrak Downeaster train was traveling from Portland, Maine, to Boston. There were 56 passengers aboard the train.

GPS kills many drivers every year, according to the USDOT

Uke's question as always, how in the hell do these people get drivers licenses? And who do they convince that they're a good enough driver to have insurance? And as always, WWJD? (What would Jeezuss do?)

Great question. So you think Jeezuss has time to think about who gets a drivers license.

Why did Jeebus Cripes allow the maker of the GPS market a device that doesn't stop a driver from turning onto RR trax? Why, Jeebus?

 Maybe not so much these days. Jeezuss is one very, very busy deity, what with all these thoughts, and prayers, petitioning Jeezuss to please intervene and help the poor victims!

But what about poor overworked Jeezuss? Nobody, especially them 'true-believers,' or real, very real, saved, reborn Kerstians having first pick on Jeezuss's time, and attention... They don't seem to give a schitt about Jeezuss! Not really! Nope!
