It can strike any time, with no warning. It can happen to you any day of the week, and sometimes, more than once a day. It's the train. 

If you're reading this, you're likely from Fort Collins, and have been late for work, classes, appointments, or have had to 'hold it' for a really long time because of the trains in this town. You could even be reading this while waiting for a train to pass right now! (And if you're at Riverside Avenue, get comfortable. We both know you're not going anywhere.)

Life is short, and waiting for the train to pass... is not. So, we've put together a list of ten things you can do in the meantime.

    Bake Cookies

    On a hot day, lay out some dough on a cookie sheet on your dash. By the time the train passes, you'll be saying, 'Got milk?'
