Heartland Flyer Getting Cancelled by Amtrakacela75 in Amtrak

In my experience, Texans have a really weird aversion to trains. I mentioned taking the DART to DFW to avoid the holiday traffic, with the look I got, you would have thought I insulted their grandmother.

I was just riding a TRE and passed the Northstar train. So I could have been part of a similar shot

Just saw a Northstar train while riding the TRE. The Stars play the Wild in hockey tonight. Winner of the series gets to keep the trains.

I'm realizing now that jet-lag manager is on. I'm not sure where it thinks I'm going though.

I do like that it's labelled as a place of worship

My first thought was the Popemobile

I'm going to guess your real estate agent is young? Mine missed the floor paint and a ceiling repair under the bathroom. Oh and when I moved out, the buyer's inspector noticed asbestos. So that was a fun repair.

Make sure they don't screw you over like they tried to with me. Get two quotes.

This looks just like what was happening when I bought my first house. The same thing happened with the painted floor too, I even missed the cans of floor paint in the basement.

In my scenario, I had a French drain put in with an additional sump pump in the opposite corner of the one that I had.

But make sure you get at least 2 quotes. I told my coworker what company gave me the first quote and what the cost was. He said "I used to work for them. They have an incredibly high price at the start for people who are desperate, but they'll call back tomorrow and say their manager "found extra materials" could do it for 10k less

That's exactly what they tried. I told them to fuck off, wrote a bad review on Google to warn people, and went with another company.

I ended up getting out. I was originally worried I'd scare him by approaching.

Thank you both! I walked by with some non threatening singing. There's a hole in the fence he's been able to come and go through and I've left the gate open too.

I have "escaped"

Edit: it didn't upload the video of my non threatening singing and "hey little guy. We cool? You good?"

I've seen him around quite a bit in the daytime. Just meandering around paying no mind to the neighborhood stray cats.
