Ten years and twenty minutes ago
I dropped my 17YO granddaughter off at the #Eugene #Amtrak station today for her to return home.
When her train rolled in, I was distressed to see such a ragged out, worn, dented, greasy, poor excuse for a train. All the cars and both engines (pusher and puller) looked like they had not been washed since 1983.
Having ridden the Frecciarossa fast trains in Italy (300 Km/h) and several sparkling and fast German and French trains, I was embarrassed by the #train the U.S. of A has to offer.
@FeloniousPunk @roknrol it was good to meet , sorry I couldn't stick around for beers.
But the freeway was calling.
@roknrol You should visit #eugene soon.
We have some good beer and great biking, modulo a bit of tear gas.

#Trump mentioning my city... I somehow forget what he thinks of those others who broke into and damaged federal property and scared the workers there, on that Jan 6th day. Hmmm
