Babel Revisited
I saw the movie Babel recently. I thought the movie kind of sucked. I guess the theme has something to do with the careless disregard for life that people tend to have. I wasn't sure what the japanese folks had to do with the theme.. something with babel and languages I suppose. Too deep for a small towner like me.
For me Babel became very personal tonight as I was shot at on the Bart going from OAK A's stadium -> Fremont. I had a window seat and all of a sudden BAMN, the glass by my head has a huge circular bullet hole in it. The bullet (or whatever it was) did not penetrate since the glass is like 3/4" thick, but geez man it was right by my head maybe 3" away. This is a pic from outside -- that is where I was sitting!!!
So.. tomorrow I will buy a lotto ticket and them fly to Germany. I have literally been spared a life tonight. Eerie!!
Note I finally learned how to upload pics to blogger. Geez I am lame. This is me, Booby, Glori (Veric's friend) and veric at the A's game before my near death experience.

Are you kidding? Was that really a bullet hole? or just some piece of rock that hit the window?
consensous on the train was that it was a low caliber bullet. others also think so. i was almost dead.
