pedestrian crossing
Two days ago the high speed train took another life, there was a pedestrian crossing the train tracks 5 miles from my house and they are claiming it was another suicide. I do not know if it was or not but what I doubt is every person that has been killed by this train committed suicide, that is what they claim. 108 people have been killed by this train since it started running from Miami to Orlando on September 22, 2023, this includes people in cars. I do not know why they did not build bridges over intersections for a train going that fast. What I have heard is this is the only state that does not have them.
My sister lives a mile from this track and said it was a young man, please pray for his family. She also said the rails at that track do not go down at the same time, one will lower and then the next one will lower. I am not making excuses for someone thinking they can get across before the train gets there, but that is what I think happens, not suicide.
Trout starts May 1st and even though my hand hurts, I thought I could fish for them. I got all of the pigfish traps mended, my boat and truck cleaned out and was going to start catching bait this Monday. Last night I woke around 2am and wondered if I would be able to hook a pigfish or tie a hook on the line and how I was going to hold a trout while unhooking it. This morning I got myself a hook and a piece of line and tried to tie a hook on it. I could not do it. I am so upset.
I do not see the doctor again until the end of May, then he will schedule me for surgery, I do not know how long it will be before I get the surgery. I think it will take a couple of months to heal. By the end of August, the bait will be getting too big to use and if we get a hurricane that will end trout season. I hope I will get to fish some but it is not looking like I will be getting to do it or not much of it.
For this trout season, I even made a new PAM, it is my pee as man device that I invented.
