Every night when we closed, the stock crew would walk across the parking lot to Waffle House.. it being the only place open in town to get food at midnight..

He must have played at least 10 or 15 times every night.. <br /><br />In the Song, the Train represents Temptation.Lagomorph Rexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06385231158384929598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8302487761596456689.post-69227291369587928802011-01-30T13:46:47.750-05:002011-01-30T13:46:47.750-05:00@Beedo - I hadn't thought of the Matrix, but t...@Beedo - I hadn't thought of the Matrix, but that's a good connection, too.<br /><br />@seaofstarsrpg - As always, a great suggestion!<br /><br />@Sean - Thanks.
