Learning has occurred
mtmerrick:
A classmate educated me in the Ways Of Mormon today. That's what I get for asking what he was reading :P
That said, most level headed religious person I've ever met.
(and no, he did not convert me, nor do I expect he ever will. Still, educational to learn the way something ticks.)
mtmerrick:
today learned that "Amtrak Police" are a thing.
Grognard:
yep.
I see them and DHS cops on my commuter train weekly.
but Amtrak cops?
their jurisdiction is 50' wide and 10k miles long.
heh :D
J:
attended a free lecture about the association between high cannabis use and schizophrenia
Carl-E:
Sponsored by who?
And I play poker with a railroad officer. Since the railroad purchased their right-of-ways (rights-of-way?) they have to provide their own security.
A large part of his job was people who'd been killed on the tracks. Some jumpers, too (from the train, not onto it). Accidents at crossings are joint jurisdictions, but those are a lot less common than deaths out in the middle of nowhere.
Remember, tunnels and bridges used by high-speed freight trains do not make good shortcuts for hikers!
