Umm - trestle? My dictionary doesn't include tressle for that meaning. (Searches on Internet - ah, OK, I see it - as an alternative to trestle. My bad, as you were, smoke 'em if you got 'em ...)

A tragedy for those people on that train in WA state, was it?

My wife noticed the TV talking heads were describing the scene as a train falling "onto I-5 below" making it sound like the train landed on the discount store, Five Below.

This post about preventing dementia was so juicy, it was tough to decide what to include:

In another threat I mentioned.... (he's not aggressive, he meant thread)
I could give you a piece of advise...

since scientists have no clue you may want to try it for a few months and see if that helps. Before bed read fairy tales, legends or the bible. I won't mention how this might relate to memory, people will just dismiss it as non sense. Take it for what it's worth.
