Aug. 29th, 2006 01:31 pm3 truths and 3 lies meme:
1. I love yams.
False - Fact is I hate yams and sweet potatoes. It has to do with the taste and texture combined.
2. I've backed down an "ess" shaped highway entrance ramp at night.
True - There was an accident at the top of the ramp, I was running late for work, and the only way to get around was to back down. :=3
3. I've backed a two car passenger train, using a F-unit, at night with no guide and stopped precisely where I wanted.
True - We had a limited amount of help, and I backed the trainset about 4 miles through woods, with no grade crossings. I did, however, put a "white light" on the leading car so people could tell that there was something coming. :=3
4. I've operated an actual Acela train set.
False - Not yet, but maybe someday. :=3
5. My middle name is Edwin.
False - Although my initial is E. :=3
6. I've been at track level on the Hell Gate Bridge.
True - I have taken pictures from that location. Actually, I have been "above" track level on Hell Gate, to service a repeater.
So, 1, 4, & 5 are lies, and 2, 3, and 6 are true. :=3
