I almost missed the train today. I was puttering in my car when I heard the bell approaching, and it was at the platform by the time I locked the doors and snatched up my stuff. Even with running to the platform, I heard the doors do their warning closing sound just as I dashed up -- the doors had been open for about forty-five seconds in all. I ran full-tilt through the doors as they started to close, and realized that the conductor must have seen me as they opened fully again. I grinned at the whistle of appreciation from the stewardess on the platform. Another one commented on it as she checked my ticket.
( Good source of potassium! )
