Train Just Misses Man on the Tracks

It was a scary scene at a traffic crossing near Buenos Aires, Argentina when a man was almost struck by a train. He managed to get a stalled van out of the way but had to quickly jump back behind the tracks when the train came zooming by.

Bag of Randomness

  • Man, record snowfall in North Texas, anywhere from nine to twelve inches for Thursday.  It’s the kind of snow I’ve dreamed when I was just a littleGeeding.  And I understand for those of your that live in typical snowy areas all this snowtalk is nonsense, but this is such an odd occurrence for these parts.

  • One thing with all this snow that was hard to adjust to last night was how friggin bright it made everything outside.  Every time I looked out the window it seemed like it was about 7:15 PM, even past midnight.
  • There’s just not enough snow to try anything like this.
  • But we do have enough free time today and enough snow to teach our dogs some new snow boarding tricks.
  • Another example of the teenage me that would beat up the current day me – I have free access to attend one of the major NBA events but I’m not going, and I really can’t think of a good reason why I don’t want to go.
  • You would think since it’s NBA All Star weekend in Dallas with all of the celebrity parties going on that I would attend a few of them, but no.  I like to keep it real and on the down low.  I’m Keith Geeding, man of the people.
  • It’s great watching my dogs run and play in the snow.
  • I made a mistake of eating a breakfast bowl at Jack In the Box yesterday morning.  I didn’t realize it contained “cheese sauce” that had a lasting impact on my stomach for most of that morning.
  • But don’t get me wrong, the Breakfast Jack and Sourdough Breakfast Sandwich are pure greatness.
  • I also decided to take a look at the nutritional content of the breakfast bowl that I ate . . . my gosh my life expectancy just dropped dramatically.
  • I’m finally getting a little more sleep.
  • Survivor was very good last night, and that Stephenie was a stud getting her shoulder popped back into place.  And she has that unique ability to look drastically more attractive the more grungy she gets.  When she’s all normal with make-up on, she is definitely less attractive.
  • And I couldn’t help but laugh when Sugar loss her top and later flipped the double bird.
  • Interesting stats about the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) – in particular, the stats about those that claim to have had a conversion experience, education, theological view and political affiliation.
  • While watching Nightline last night they had a segment on Hallmark and mentioned that they actually own Crayola . . . I was not aware of this.
  • For you NBA fans, here’s a fun little distraction.  Take a look at the McDonald’s All American Basketball Team for the year you graduated from high school.  In my case, here’s the 1994 team.
  • I’m thinking Kay Baily Hutchinson was the happiest of all folks to hear Debra Medina’s goof on Glenn Beck’s radio show.  If you missed it, he asked her if she felt the government was involved in some sort of 9/11 conspiracy, and she stated that she couldn’t 100% deny it.  Later she issued a statement that said she was caught off guard by the question and it shouldn’t matter since it doesn’t relate to Texas politics.  Either way, her chances of becoming the next governor are about the same as me becoming the next host of The Tonight Show.
