Ammonia tanker springs leak at Roseville railyard

ROSEVILLE, CA - Two weeks after a propane tanker caught fire and prompted a citywide evacuation, another incident involving a railcar called for a response from firefighters Thursday morning -- this time in Roseville.

Assistant Chief of the Roseville Fire Department, Jeff Carman, said crews responded to a report from Union Pacific workers of a small ammonia leak at the at the JR Davis Railyard in Roseville, CA around 2 a.m.

Carman said firefighters arriving on scene determined the release was caused by a faulty gasket and they had the parts to repair the component.

According to Carman, the leak was small and would not require evacuations, but citizens downwind from the leak would possibly smell ammonia.

Home office: purpose and plans

Home office: purpose and plans

Another apartment, another home office. Couple that with my cubicle changes at my last job, and this will be the fourth work area I've worked in (and shown you) in the year-and-a-half since I started this blog (see 1, 2 and 3).

My last home office was...how should I say it...ideal. It was bright, spacious, and organized. I loved the heck out of it, and wish that I could have worked from home more instead of using it just on weekends and holidays. Now that I am using the home office everyday, I'm trying to incorporate what I loved about my last space to create a neat and productive space here.
