Maybe lying alongside some RR track in Kali?

I remember Elmer Keith writing in "Hell I Was There" about how RR Inspectors would shoot hobos just for trespassing. How far we have fallen!

I lightly bumped an underpass on the old Sante Fe with an excavator some years back. I bumped the underpass at about 1 mph, didn't like it and backed up and parked and started to map a different route. The schidt hit the fan, in ten minutes, I had a Suburban full of armed railroad dicks all over my ass, accusing me of sabotage, terrorism, un American activities, train robbery etc. They searched the tractor, looking for bombs I suppose, handled the fire extinguisher like it was a plutonium bomb. Sheesh, what a bunch of Barney Fife wannabes.


Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

The railroad certainly has some real jerks working for them. We recently took to shipping by flatbed to avoid dealing with them.

Lucky you're not still in prison - awaiting terrorism charges.
And, maybe, treason charges. (Since you're an American "citizen")


I've always been a curmudgeon - now I'm an old curmudgeon.
