a bit of a rough start...
to my morning...
Went out to my car this morning and one of my tires was so low that I ran back to the house and asked Matt to drive me to the train, which he did. I didn't notice I was getting on the bathroom car of the MARC train until water poured down the steps and surrounded our feet. FUN! And, of course, this water was, um, used. The conductor was in the middle of yelling at us for standing up when we started screaming at him to please notice WHY we were standing and he said "then move to a different car!" At that point, a tidal wave of sewage came down the steps and rolled directly toward us as we were trying to go the opposite direction... but he was blocking our path, so bravely we retreated in the direction of the sewage and onto the next car where people looked very confused. I explained the situation to my seatmate while I wholeheartedly attempted to suppress my gag reflex.
I'm REALLY glad I didn't wear sandals today. But now that Matt has read this, he'll probably ask me to throw my expensive hand-made German shoes away. ;-)
The nice thing is that the rest of the day has looked positively wonderful by comparison!
