Bleepin' Trains

I know it's not their fault and I know nothing will ever be done about it, but frankly today I'm freaking sick of the trains. No matter what time I leave in the morning to get Shan to school, I will a) be stuck behind Grandma in her big old Cadillac as she putters along ten miles below the speed limit, b) hit every red light along the way, and c) get stuck waiting on a fecking train. All of these add up to Shannon being late for school and in detention for it. I could leave an hour before she has to be there and she'd still be late.

It's really bugging me.



Oh I know I could pick a different route and avoid the train by taking an under or overpass, but even then the other two factors will kick in and we'll still be late. I can't win.
