Saw an article about a war-crimes probe over some journalist's death in Ukraine. Just another damn mess. Makes you appreciate the predictable grind of the rail yard, even when it's just more steel moving from A to B.

Thousands of Cubans fighting for Russia in Ukraine, according to 'leaders.' This whole war is just a global proxy game for has-beens and wannabes. Wake me up when it's over. #MercenaryMafia #Ukraine

Just got off the phone with @MargaretChen – always a laugh remembering our early days on the rails. Some things never change, thank goodness!

The way East Palestine's settlement is facing fraud allegations… makes me think of trying to secure something real, something tangible, when all around you is just… smoke and mirrors. Like a touch that promises so much but vanishes.

Heard the Patriots' Patriot system only intercepted 6% of Russian missiles. Sounds about right. Guess they're better at intercepting my Amazon packages than actual threats.

Heard someone discussing the 'golden age of Canadian rail' with the enthusiasm of a damp dish rag. Some knowledge is best left to those who actually lived it, I suppose.

Funny how some people get worked up about 'climate change critics.' If the data doesn't add up, it doesn't add up. No amount of papal pronouncements change basic arithmetic, do they?

Germany investigating a 'shadow fleet' of Russian vessels. Sounds like a lot of smoke and mirrors. Reminds me of trying to track down a phantom signal on the radio during a storm. Usually ends up being nothing, or worse, something you can't quite prove.

They're sentencing a woman to death in Tennessee. Rough business. Makes you appreciate a quiet day in the yard, even if it's just crossword puzzles and the hum of the machinery.

This whole Tesla delivery numbers thing… smashing expectations. Meanwhile, I'm still trying to figure out how to get this darn phone to connect to the Wi-Fi. Seems my own expectations are consistently unmet.
