I got lucky at Pinckneyville and captured a real close call on video, and invented (I think) a new word. One of the tractor pull crew was enjoying some longnecks while I waited for the little train to do a run-by, and the alcoholic haze made him totally oblivious to the train as he walked over and stood on the tracks. He had his BeerMuffs on! BeerMuffs are similar to Beer-Goggles, messing with your perception in ways that can screw up your life. I wonder if his friends would have rushed over and rescued his beer if he had been hit. Oh well, he has used up a life, and may begin to figure out that machinery and beer don't mix well.
