Car. Track. Fire.

angelchickenWhen asked "What's going on?" that was my brief, yet all encompassing, answer. If you were there it would have made sense.
If you weren't, though, here is what happened causing me take the M13 bus (and I was so pleased with my bus-less record to date) to the 7 express (slowest express ever) and end up at work 45 minutes late.
I get to the train at about 7:40 in the morning for the eight o'clock train (shut up. I have issues with being places on time. It's a thing). Some time in the ten minutes between the 7:30 train getting through the station and my arrival at 7:40 a car ran through a barrier and rolled down the embankment onto the west-bound tracks right beyond the Long Island Rail Road station in Bayside. It then caught fire. The only reason I didn't notice it straight off was because it looked like fog instead of smoke, and it was so thick you couldn't see the car. Until the cops came running down the platform announcing there was a car on the tracks and the entire line was closed, closed, closed.
Bah & Feh. And me, being the schmuck that I am, figured out a way to actually get to work instead of calling in train.
*sigh*
But there is a new Queer Eye tonight which makes me happy, and there is a new Angel tomorrow which also makes me happy.
Happiness all around.
