Time-delay post!
I'm presently (16:18, 07-Jan-2008) in the sightseeing car of the
Amtrak Coast Starlight, northbound to Seattle. I've been on this
train for 30 hours now. We just left Salem 2 hours 15 minutes late.
They claim that we'll arrive only an hour late, which I find hard to
believe.
Anyway, in the booth on the other side of the car are two women and
a man. The women are travelling together, and met the man on the
train. One of the women reminds me strongly of madgester, which is why I'm writing this in the first place.
