Thank you, Lisa. I too found it too coincidental to remain silent this go round. In case anyone wondered, I have had personal experience with asbestos poisoning. I nursed my dad through the last six months of his life at home and was with him when he passed away 6 years ago, from lung cancer due to asbestos poisoning. It is an ugly, very painful way to go. I'm glad the topic of road safety came up as I have a question. While Lana and Geier have had lots of driving experience, I have not. We have a very nice 8 mile stretch of paved road to town once we get off our place. At the town limits is a triple railroad crossing I would eventually like to cross then turn around a mile further into town. There is alot of freight traffic on this line and I was wondering what is the safest thing to do should a train come (noise, whistles etc.) before we get to the tracks? Not knowing how Lana and Geier would react I certainly wouldn't want to be in an emergency situation, yet if they are calm and sensible about the whole thing, I think it would be about as good an exercise in distraction as could be gotten. I would have someone with me the first time we got that far but I was wondering if anyone else had any safety tips. The Amish deal with trains all the time so I know horses can be trained to tolerate it. I have someone local who can advise me too, but I was hoping for more from anyone else.
