This is a song about a train...
Ok, its not a song, but it has a train in it, specifically the train that interfered with my skinny dipping. Well, actually I wore my snazzy new retro '60's bathing suit, while other people went skinny dipping, so, strictly speaking its a story about other people skinny dipping that features a train.
The bottom line really, is that freight trains are really fucking long and sometimes they just sort of stop for no reason and cut off the entire fucking east side of New Orleans from the rest of the city. I mean really, we're talking 20 something cross streets stopped dead for a really, really long time. I was most put out.
Eventually, I arrived, swam, drank, came home and for no especially cogent reason decided to rewire the old bathroom, live, and can now no longer have my modem in the middle of the kitchen floor.
Did I mention it was a really long train?
