Texas is famous for all kinds of big things ... and small things too ... and they're not all necessarily good. We have big traffic jams and big taxes for example. We also have big, (gigantic actually), freight trains. Trains are necessary but they have gotten so long that they've become an unsafe, pain in the butt.
A 24 year old man from Uvalde, Texas was walking near train tracks in Fabens Sunday when he was hit by a passing train. Witnesses said he seemed unaware of the approaching train.
While I was away last week doing a couple of Insane Inflatable 5K's I had some free time in Detroit. So I headed downtown and to the Henry Ford Museum for the world's fastest tour.
