    Ohio Derailment

    Because when you say that this is nothing new, and just humans being humans, you're suggesting that we should just let this slide. I recognize that this particular event isn't unique, and it won't be the last, but there's a chance that after this one, we can make steps to hold people...

    Ohio Derailment

    Hahaha no Ohio, at least the northeast part where I live is quite nice. I'm convinced all of that stuff online is Ohioans hoping to keep people from moving here. No one's going to be moving to East Palestine, though. Please, please make people aware. East Palestine is in an area known as...

    Ohio Derailment

    I agree that accidents are going to happen. What doesn't need to happen are coverups, safety regulations being cut for profit's sake, poor people having their lives destroyed because of it. An accident like this was preventable. It happened because the rail companies decided that safety cost...

    Ohio Derailment

    The Ohio EPA doesn't exactly have a "not being paid off by industry" record. I could go on but I won't. Just please, any way you can, keep talking about East Palestine and this disaster to whoever will hear you.

    Ohio Derailment

    Thanks, you've distilled a few points in a rational way that I'm still too enraged to really articulate. Please tell people about this, if you can.

    Ohio Derailment

    It is. Please make people aware of it, if you can...it's the only way we might have a shot at this one being the one that might change things and bring some accountability...but that "legal industrial complex" wants us all to shut up and forget. It's just some hick town in Ohio, after all, right?

    Ohio Derailment

    The hot box detector in Salem (20 miles before East Palestine) didn't detect the literal fire coming from the wheel on the car. The detector in East Palestine did, and the emergency brakes initiated, so I've read. By that point, obviously, it was too late. I don't think NS has commented yet...

    Ohio Derailment

    No. Not humans being human, I won't accept a shrug off. Camp LeJuene is a terrible story, but it doesn't negate what's going on in Ohio right now, or give us an excuse to shrug this off. All of this is unacceptable. Both of these events were preventable. Both will be covered up to one...

    Ohio Derailment

    And now the EPA confirmed that the contamination has reached the Ohio River basin, which is home to about 25 million people.

    Ohio Derailment

    Not sure if anyone here is following this. It happened less than 50 miles from me. East Palestine, Ohio. Rumor is that the train crew saw a car with a seized bearing, and surveillance video from Salem, OH, 20 miles away, showed the train rolling with smoke coming from a wheel. The crew was...

    What Are You Listening To? - December 2022

    Charlie Parr - Last of the Better Days Ahead One of the most genuine songwriters and players around. Very nice guy, too. Plays 12 string and resonator guitars. His music is a constant comfort and inspiration for those who know him, and his live shows are always delivered with everything he's...

    Your Blend Of The Year 2022

    Honestly, Bankside really flipped all the switches for me this year. As far as my most smoked blend this year, it's Yorktown. That stuff never fails me.

    Extreme Weather

    Sitting at -9 right now, not much snow but it's drifted into some interesting patterns. Winds are not much stronger than they have been, maybe 50mph tops, but they've been increasing in frequency. Had a few hours this afternoon where it was ten or so minutes between gusts, now they're nearly...

    Grousemoor by Samuel Gawith

    This one turned me right off the first time I opened a tin. It was just awful smelling, nasty stuff. I jarred it and came back a while later and that initial heavy scent dissipated, and I found it to be a delicious smoke.

    Yeah not much to stop the wind out there except TJoes Steakhouse, which is the only place I've ever stopped in Wyoming, after driving through that part where the water never leaves and it is all red and empty :LOL: it was some tasty steak.

    That's 60-75 in Freedom Units. Nasty! You guys are going to get the brunt of the snow, too, at least Eastern Ontario.

    I'm probably going to do a lot of this. I'm filling the tank today in anticipation of a few hours of idling..

    I have 8, as long as I can maintain the temps above 60 degrees, all 100 or so fish should make it through. Everyone I know with livestock is sweating right now, I hope everything's fine on your end!
