I found the following on a sticky note (an electronic one, that is) that I wrote while without wifi on a trip on the Coast Starlight sometime in the past year or so:
"This is like going to the frozen food section while stoned, but paying double for it." -- someone in the cafe car
announcement: "We're turning inland and the reason for that is to get away from some of these more unstable sand dunes." Actually, I thought the reason we were turning inland is because that's where the tracks are.
In Salinas, someone put a bunch of tires on the tracks, which "compromised" the main brake lines so the train had to sit in Salinas for a while while they fixed it. You know what I say to that? Fuck Salinas.
