I can not place any blame here that track crossing at Star,Mississippi is bad you can not see around the corner the stop sign is place at intersection you have to physically cross the track and put yourself in danger to see down the tracks there are no crossing gates stop look and listen is diffuclt. I saw it as a matter of time before a incident would happen there. Its sad to say that someone has to die or create a disaster before a change is ever made I hope they make it safer to enter and exit that plant.This comment is from a driver who has placed his life on the line to enter and exit that plant hopefully crossing gates or some type of control device will be implamented. My prayers are with the driver and blessing to his family..Navigator

Daily Horoscope for January 7

Aries

There are good indications in the areas of career, a relationship with somebody you admire or with work in general (regardless whether it is housework or paid work). This is an excellent time to reorganise how you do your daily tasks and to send off your resume, or go for a job interview. You may receive helpful advice from a co-worker: if you are waiting for news from a parent or authority figure, you should have it soon.
