To: Tolerance Sucks Rocks

Nice idea but if Europe is any guide it sucks.

Visiting France last year we had the opportunity to go to from Paris to Strasburg. Since they just opened a super high speed train we thought it would be a great trip until we saw the price. 120e per person per segment or 480e for the two of us!

So we rented a car. Plus we got to make a side trip to the Verdun battlefields and other small villages not reachable by train.

Conclusion: if it’s cheap enough the train will work, but it will never be cheap if you are loading your own car with you, it will reduce carrying capacity.

So Texas needs more pavement.

The last thing Texas needs is more effing pavement. Enough of this poor state is a concrete desert already.

Driving sucks. It has ruined our cities. It has ruined our countryside. There is more to life than conveeeeeeeeeenience.
