to catch a train you have to think like a train
@catsalad No problem!
@12thRITS @catsalad you won't be able to catch that train, because it's in rust, so it is blazingly fast!
@12thRITS @catsalad Ohhhh.. that is sad. Such a beauty should not be rusting away, but cared for (and run sometimes?) in a train museum
@WTL @silver_buttercat @12thRITS Juliet has an electrolysis tank! Maybe she could fix it @julie
@catsalad @WTL @12thRITS @silver_buttercat Yeah, if you're in the Portland area bring it on over. I'll have it done in about 75 years.

@12thRITS @catsalad I see. Then I must leave. But first, I'd like to caress this rusty kettle.

@12thRITS @catsalad WOW ...a WHOLE ABANDONED TRAIN

WHERE is this ??

@Lstn2urmama @12thRITS @catsalad
Did some searching...the internet consensus is that this particular train is in Russia. Possibly Siberia.
There's some train graveyards in U.S. too apparently.
@edwilk @12thRITS @catsalad very interesting and how money gets wasted .. that was alot of steel that could of been used before eaten by rust.. sadly

@catsalad I go forward in one direction with no ability to turn or change, and I clobber anything foolish enough to stand in front of me.

I. AM. TRAIN.

@paco @catsalad

Huh, do you offer guidance in selecting exercises to repeat in order to gain skills of being a locomotive?

Do you train train trainers?

@paco @catsalad Where we're going, we don't need *tracks*.
@catsalad trains just want to get railed 💭🛤️
@catsalad choochoo! chuggachuggachuggachuggachuggachuggachuggachugga
@catsalad Stick to the designated path, leave on time, and scheduke ample time to handle interruptions, while not being afraid to slow down when ahead of schedule?

@catsalad I missed the most obvious answer.

GOTO STATION

@catsalad

that takes a one track mind. :)

@catsalad to catch a cold you have to think like a cold

@catsalad cue to training montage
@catsalad I cannot seem to follow your train of thought on this matter
@catsalad To catch a cat, you have to think like a salad
@catsalad @pscindy By being late. Or cancelled.

@catsalad
or be like a path as that is the thing the train service runs

(being able to read a timetable also helps.)

@catsalad A.K.A. a train of thought

@catsalad and bring a really big net...
@catsalad
I'm autistic. Does that count?
@meadow Is that why we like trains so much? 

@catsalad @meadow

You’re supposed to wait until it stops.

@catsalad To catch these hands, you have to be rude.

@catsalad Guess I won't be going to Cavan, then...

@catsalad I don't know if I can think like a train, but I can follow a train of thought.
@catsalad and so the commuter becomes the commuted

@catsalad

So, I have to be always late.
No problem.

@catsalad That sort of thinking feels like just following the track somebody else laid down.

@catsalad French trains like to pet crocodiles !

Poke @hopla for more French and German train behaviours.

@catsalad That means to show up really, really late, than it will fall right into your trap… At least if it‘s a train of the DB (Deutsche Bahn).
