Amtrak is digging up my backyard, ask me anything.
Since 1 AM, digging away along the right of way. Right behind my house, what a racket.

1. How are you and the children?
I think of you from time to time. Hope you are well.

2. Doing well, we have settled into a new routine.
Which seems to be suiting all of us nicely. Its hard to believe that it has been almost 3 months already.

How are you doing?

3. It's better than having the police dig up your backyard.

4. WOW
1 am, I would be so pissed. That is disturbing the peace or something, I would have been a asshole and called the police every 10 minutes, but hey thats just me, I NEED MY SLEEP!

7. Is it "emergency" repair? Or are they just thoughtless bastards?
One would think that NORMAL working hours when MOST PEOPLE aren't sleeping would be the best time to do that.

But the operative word there is "think".

8. The usual off peak Maintenance.
When they electrified the line in the late 90's, I would go weeks with drilling rigs in the back yard.
