Gigantic Power Short
I knew there was trouble afoot when Lars told me to check out http://www.bane.dk/. It's actually just a website that reports the status of the trains. We checked at 3:30pm: every single train was delayed and not one train had reached its destination since 3pm. Lars was cackling, he used to take the train, he now relies on the bus. He also likes to be a harbinger of doom.
The cause was a wet pigeon who had alighted on a power line a little too close to a grounding rod. There was a short, a fire, the poor pigeon perished and the some metal actually melted together, fusing into a permanent connection between power and ground.
Rather than wait around for the already inefficient system to get back on track, I followed Lars part of the way home, taking the 193 south to Nærum. I'm now waiting at the Nærum bus stop right on the highway I used to drive back and forth on. The 150S should be coming soon to take me to Norreport station. The plan is to go home, get my bike, and meet Kendrick at the Østerboro apartment so we can finish off some outstanding stuff using the internet. On the bus, I plan to write blog entries :)
