Train Trestle Fire

The main train track from Sacramento to Reno runs right behind my office and a 300 foot section of its bridge trestle caught on fire on 3/15/07 in the late afternoon and caused disruption to the highway, nearby businesses, and of course train service. It took 2 full days to put it out, and it sent a jet black plume straight up. It is estimated that it will be weeks before train service can resume.

Winning twosome

Hoffman golf

It was a gorgeous day today...bright sun, 70 degrees, and blue sky with no clouds...perfect for golf, so we played 18 holes at Ancil Hoffman. Lots of pars, but no birdies at all for us. Above, Dick, Dean, and Brif show their unanimity proclaiming me as #1 (only kidding)...it was a lot of fun and Dean got to break in his new Cleveland driver with some tape measure shots straight down the fairways. I teamed with Brif and we smoked D & D, but there will be rematches and they will undoubtedly seek their revenge. Maybe at Castle Oaks in two weeks???
