My name is Bob. Some people call me a hustler, but my official title is “Rail Yard Engineer.” My company moves freight by rail. When I first got hired, my boss told me that my career was really on the right track now! Yeah, I know, it was an eye-rolling comment. Anyway, my main job is to organize the railroad cars before they leave the switchyard here in Kansas City, Missouri. According to my contract, I’m entitled to free personal train travel (via freight train), but only if I do my job flawlessly. It’s jaw-dropping that my company would be so strict about this. After all, is anybody perfect? Of course not! I really want to escape hectic Kansas City and chillax with my family back in easygoing Reno in time for brunch on Christmas Eve. I can’t wait to return to my home zip code of 89512-3476. My parents, my sister Anna, my aunt Hanna and her kids are all expecting me. They have already purchased the Christmas turducken and egg nog! Not only that, but the homemade Christmas cookies always blow my mind and my diet! And who cares about calories at Christmas? Not me! Yum! I can’t miss this! I’m sure you’ve heard of Reno, my wonderful hometown! We call it the “Biggest Little City in the World.” Yep, sometimes you’ll see a coyote sauntering right down Keystone Avenue. Reno is certainly a town of breath-taking beauty. Tonigh
