I truly wish that fewer articles found online equaled a safer week in news but this week was far from that. One article has me screaming at the top of my lungs another makes me want to throw up. Will there be a day we see escalators no longer being used? In other non vertical transportation news Comcast/Xfinity had a major phone system outage across the United States yesterday which affected huge areas of large metropolitan cities so if you couldn’t get through to a company or friend this is way. Also if you have kids you most likely are scratching your head about this “Pokemon Go” thing they are playing.
