Still plays with Trainz
A Wisconsin story.
Advanced degrees in management do not gaurantee job stability and I found myself unemployed and mortaged to the hilt. With no income I lost everything. Fortunately for me my Internet account was paid 3 years in advance. Having no desire to stand in line with street people my spouse took our baby boy and moved in with her parents who detested me from the minute I escorted their beloved daughter to the Senior Prom and delivered her home drunk as a sailor on leave and a little bit pregnant. Coming from a line of railroaders and having worked for a railroad to put myself through undergraduate school, I had, as the saying goes, cinders in my blood and began life riding the rails. No King of the Road this guy, just a bum moving up and down and across the country. As I write this note from a cybercafe, I am in Wisconsin and hoping to soon climb aboard an empty freight car attached to a train bound far elsewhere. Despite what the denizens of the Badger State would like you to believe, this is far from an ideal climate, especially for a person whose home has no roof; the summers are hot, humid and buggy and the winters are colder than hell is hot.
