“But what was going on in that train car. Everybody grimly frowning at everybody else, just caring about “when are we gonna get there.””

No, just a bunch of people who need to get somewhere on the cheap. As a kid I used to go with my mother to visit relatives in Bakersfield, CA. We always took the Santa Fe Super Chief from Oakland. You remember the Freedom Train? Well that was the Super Chief and it ran 100 mph down the Central Valley. Now with Amtrak, it almost never gets to it’s maximum speed of 79 mph because the roadway won’t allow it, and thanks to single track, it’s always going onto a siding to let a freight train pass.

It would probably take a much less hurried approach to life at the individual level. Something which is virtually extinct in this country. Something like the cruise ship approach might work, though. You’d have to make it about the trip and not the destination. The destination would almost have to be incidental to the trip. Another approach might be the”sleeper” approach. Someplace that takes 12-ish hours to get there. leave in the evening, get dinner and sleeping accomodations, wake up in your destination, fresh and ready to roll.

Rule #1 of winter (or near winter) travel—never never never change planes in Chicago.

Does anyone else find it annoying that the excerpt cites “that day”, but doesn’t cite the actual day? Or did I miss it?

I hate giving the likes of AP any clicks.

And every Starbucks Barista thinks they’re making real coffee when they pour it from syrup and they push a button on an automated pre-loaded with some form of creamer and coffee derivatives

No skills workers should get no skills pay.

here’s my story of Italy.

We checked out of the hotel and the cabbie said we could take our luggage to the train station. It was about 9:30 AM and our train was 10 PM

He told us the train workers were on strike. I asked why.

Because two days before there was a bomb threat at the station in Milan. This was Sunday and there was big futbol game on TV.

At the station we learned the employees were afraid there was a bomb in Rome, so they walked out and apparently by midnight, after the game, the threat would be over.

We went back at 9:30 PM and our 10 was on time. They came back two hours early.

We tried to get more information, but the two info booths were staffed by people who didn’t speak English. I estimated half the travelers on the platforms spoke English.

In France, when they strike they may burn down the building or set a bomb to go off of the cops arrest them.

We did run into a strike at the arch de triomphe for one day, which no one could explain.
