Thank you Katie! I didn't

Thank you Katie! I didn't have the strength to fight this one,because I have to be strong for his two boys who are left behind. When you come into Chaska or Shakopee, the train tracks have a crossing guard. Why not Jordan? I watched today our boys kiss Kelly and wish her Happy Mother's day. She is devasted! Negativity is a disease!

I had checked in with April and Bob to see how things were going since my visit. They report that April is still grieving, but they have not seen the shadowman again, and have stayed over night at the house a few time and nothing strange had happened.

Sorry, but after reading this the day it was posted, I felt this was needed to be said...

It is sad to hear a story like this. No disrespect to Mr. Cobb or your family, but demanding crossing arms will not control this railroad crossing. What needs to be done, just like in most accidents, is drivers need to pay attention while driving and drive responsibly.

This has been the first accident at this train crossing I have ever heard of. I grew up on the other side of the tracks and crossed them daily. The crossing is not a blind crossing by any means, you definitely can see when a train is coming from either side. You would have to be blind also not to notice the flashing red lights just like the other crossings in .

If you choose to argue the other train accident fatality, I keep hearing how the other driver tried to beat the train at the hardly-busy stop sign-controlled crossing down the line. That is what I hear and it makes sense to me. Responsible driving would have avoided that accident.

I did not know Mr. Cobb nor do i have specifics of the accident, but one person's mistake does not mean crossing arms are needed at all railroad crossings in Jordan. Impatient drivers would still go around the arms and then what would you demand? A brick wall? Drastic thinking, but how else would someone solve that problem?

any costs in jordan should be a city workers that care about dogs at large and partying of all hours of the night and drunkenness-not worry about streets at this time-jordan is way behind--most cities like most cities have 2 minute dog barking ordinances and city notices parties outdoors-like noise pollution and drunkenness till 2am outdoors-then maybe,maybe in 2012 get new street lights etc after replacing city officials--god bless jordan mn

It would have been nice for the DNR to put a NO FISHING on the millpond for the first couple of years to get things going.

Update: I’m about halfway

Brandon — Fri, 09 May 2008 12:02:39 -0500

Update: I’m about halfway through my music collection in iTunes, and my playlist for this year’s summer cruising is currently about 260 songs long. When I get through all my music, I expect that number to jump to around 400, and then I'll whittle it down to 20 or so for a one-CD playlist.

Is it weird that I am this excited about making a playlist? Yes, but I’m OK with that.

They shouldn't be out until

Mathias Baden — Fri, 09 May 2008 10:58:26 -0500

They shouldn't be out until tomorrow, the fishing opener. Don't forget to get a license!

I must've missed that photo op. Oops. But it was nice to get some pics of Jordan High School students helping the DNR stock the pond with fish from Pelican Lake, which is in Wright County. The DNR will be back next week to continue the process.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Mathias Baden — Fri, 09 May 2008 10:47:54 -0500

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Yeah, I watch. And after the first 5 minutes or so, when the Hornets led 12-6, I was bored out of my mind by the lousy Spurs. There is nothing interesting about drawing fouls and taking open 10-foot jump shots. Here's to another snoozer, I mean Spurs playoff run. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
