Yep I would go with the one where the shaft feels tighter!

Yep lubrication is a key component for the shaft.

Word on the street is that accident yesterday was suicide. She drove onto the tracks and parked there waiting for the train. That would explain why the train was stopped so soon after hitting the car. He saw her on the tracks ahead and tried to stop. I guess she was into drugs pretty heavy as well.

I have seen Michael on FB only a time or two lately and only Jake once or twice lately on FB also.

That is terrible. I feel more bad for the train operator than anything. Even though he was 100% not at fault he still has to deal with the effects.

Yes. The long arms were maybe an inch short or less of the lower.
