End of crop tally

Hi all!

Well, it's time for the end of crop tally on the amount of sugar cane me & my engineer hauled. The harvesting season started on October 8th, 2007 and ended May 15th, 2008.

Empty rail cars taken to the loading elevators:

17,610

Loaded rail cars picked up at the elevators and taken to the mill:

15,716

On average, each 40 foot rail car holds 36 tons of raw sugar cane, so from the beginning to the end of the harvesting season, on my shift alone, my engineer and myself hauled approximately 565,776 tons of raw sugar cane.

Dollar for dollar, it's far cheaper to haul by rail than by semi-truck.

Besides, railroaders are far smarter than any dumbass, toothless truck driver.

Hope you all have a wonderful summer, I'm going to be spending mine in Key West!

Rage

I never dreamed that one person could feel this much rage inside.

Burning my insides out.

Don't worry, I'm not going to do anything stupid...

I'm not going to jeopardize what little I have left of my life. But I will tell you this, it's going to be a long, long time before I ever let anyone get close to me again.

The last few months have been difficult, but not as difficult as the last year, and it's survivable. I'm not going to let in drag me down. Down to the the culprit's level. I'll rise above it. I'm a far better person than you'll ever be.

You call yourself a Christian?

You're no Christian.

You're evil.

Evil... Right to the core.

In the end, you know where you're going.

And it's going to be very, very warm.
