Spending time with your mom when she was in handcuffs was good.

FTA:
Police said Churchill observed a white cargo-type van parked on the east side of Read's property, near
abandoned
not in active use
railroad tracks.
Fixed.
No such thing as an abandoned railroad right of way. They might be willing to sell one that isn't in use, but they'll NEVER give it away or abandon them. Even the rails-to-trails projects are "donated" for tax reasons.

Not true. A number of rail lines were run where the railroad doesn't own the ROW, but simply an easement to use it for rail purposes only that gets returned to the owner after a period of non-use for rail purposes. These do get abandoned because the railroad has no authority to sell or donate the land.

True, but when those easements end the railroad typically yanks up all the tracks (and ties, if they're still good). Then it's just an abandoned road. :0
I've done a lot of work for the railroads. They have so many miles of track that people assume is abandoned but the some railroad somewhere still owns.

Some old railroad tracks near my house went into disuse a while back. They turned it into a public trail(paved). It's about 7-8 miles in total, so not overly awesome, but still a nice place for a bike ride. The funny(well, not so much "funny", as "educational") thing is, when you cross streets while on the trail the railroad(metal parts) are still embedded in the roads. I still ride my bike down there every other day or so.

True story: My cousin gets arrested for DUI. He goes to jail. He calls his younger brother to come bail him out. His younger brother shows up to bail him out. He asks for John Smith (name changed for privacy, obviously). They bring out his father, instead (John Smith, Sr.) Turns out his father was in jail that same night for indecent exposure after getting caught bufuing the local clergyman (no shiat) at the local park and gay hang-out (for the second time).
Hilarity ensued, until my uncle killed himself.
That kind of drained the comedy from the situation :(
Dad said that he knew about my uncle's ways since they were teens.

I just assumed the Advice tag was new as I have never seen it before. If Fark was going to add a new tag why not add the one most seem to think would be useful. Texas is the only state that is constantly doing things just as asinine as Florida.

The advice tag has seen lots of TFD moments. It just doesn't hit the main page very often. For the record, Ohio is more farked up than Texas. Maybe that's changed in the recent months, but Ohio is still pretty farked up.
