The logon problems continue and I was unable to get logged on Friday, November 7. November 7 is recognized as the Day of the Railroader in Mexico to commemorate the date when the town of Nacozari, Sonora was saved in 1907 when Jesús García Corona prevented a burning train of dynamite from exploding in the middle of town. Garcia Corona was a brakeman who saw that sparks from the locomotive started the cars on fire, he spring into action and drove the train 6km out of town before it exploded, killing him in a massive explosion.

Maybe it won't work out. But maybe seeing if it does will be the best adventure ever.
