DEAD MAN: NOT ACTUALLY REAL…

Sorry. Turns out, it’s for training. The fire bureau plans to “lift up the train as if someone were trapped underneath it,” said one of the guys hanging around in a boiler suit, who said “you better make sure to tell people this is a drill when you post it.”

“Oh, sure…” I responded.

FYI: I also saw a dead cat in the street up by Benson High school. If you’ve lost a black cat in the last, I’d say, day or so, you might want to head up there. I thought about taking its picture and posting it here and calling it “CAT WEDNESDAY”..but…well, I’m not a completely unfeeling bastard. All the time.
