Florida Woman Makes Wrong Turn, Drives On Railroad Tracks
The rain came down as she tried to navigate.
I watched Groundhog Day yesterday. I was a bit surprised to see that it was featured on Netflix at this time of year. Normally, it only goes into rotation at the beginning of February. Bill Murray was in his comedic prime when that movie was filmed. I love every scene, from Ned Ryerson’s appearances to when TV’s Phil Connors gets drunk with two locals and drives down the railroad tracks.
While the movie is hilarious, police say the real-life version of that scene could have turned out much worse. Investigators in Palm Beach County say a Florida woman got a little confused while driving her Lexus recently. As the woman drove through a heavy downpour with very limited visibility, she relied on her GPS to get her to her destination. That’s when things went a little sideways. Unbeknownst to the woman, she had taken a turn that was definitely not on her GPS. The woman turned directly onto some active CSX railroad tracks. While there was not a crash, there could have been one. As soon as the woman entered the tracks, her car became stuck and would not move. Luckily, the woman was able to get out of the car and move to a safe location. Officers from the West Palm Beach police communications center were able to contact CSX, who immediately diverted rail traffic away from the scene. At the time of the incident, a train was scheduled to drive through the area within just a few minutes, so a tragedy was narrowly averted. Source: WFLX.com

So Close, Yet So Far
Sean Roberts was conceived in the Corvette Assembly Plant in Bowling Green, Kentucky by two passionate, panel aligning, third shifters who had grown bored with the same ole same ole. Upon birth, he was placed in the trunk of a new Stingray and sent off to find his destiny.
That destiny included several stints on radio stations across the United States. Some played punk country gospel, while others focused on Croatian death metal played backwards.
After many years and many adventures, Sean wound up on The Shark, where he does shots of tequila while playing the most badass tunes ever created by humankind.
He remains humble, however, never forgetting about the lean years...the street corners and dark alleys where he played songs on his car stereo for food and sex.
He's on top and he's never gonna stop LIVING THE DREAM!
