My sister lives in Martinsburg takes her kids to a school in Maryland , works in Virgina and commutes less than I do. I have my choice of these states to be picked up in.
I did commute to Downtown LA for a few years on the train. I enjoyed it because only a few people had cell phones then no including me and it was a place where I could not be reached.
I talked with a group of train friends which included. A retired sheriff deputy that was the the division commander for the sheriff unit involved in the Rodney King case. His unit didn’t make as much news as the LAPD. A bailiff for the bankruptcy court. The guy that bought garbage cans for the city of Los Angels. And a guy who lived in various counties in Europe and had a long but unnecessary story for now but was vary entertaining while on the train ride. It was about the time he was called in to customs to explain why he was shipping three porcelain toilets with his other stuff when he returned from Europe.
If you don’t drive, or don’t want to drive, the commuter rail links from BWI can get you there, eventually.
It may even be fun, and not too expensive. They are commuter lines, so they only operate during the week.
If that works out for you, check the scheduling carefully. It looks as though some routes only run once a day. You wouldn’t want to miss it.
One thing you need not miss is dinner. Timbuktu is not far from BWI, and neither am I.
I can see to it that you get to and from the restaurant if that’s what you want to do.
Invitation open to others too. Y’all stop by now, y’hear?
