For you Internet Oldheads, we passed through a place called “Altavista, Virginia”.
Pour one out for the search engines we lost!
*shakes fist at Google SEO*
I don’t have any T-Mobile coverage here, but the free Wi-Fi is holding up (slowly)!
I did need to connect to a Verizon hotspot to post this video though.
Kim’s on a Train Update:
Attempted to host a video meeting with the @pcmag software team, but it took almost 10 minutes for the link to open using the free Wi-Fi.
Stuff I can do:
-Connect to a VPN server
-Browse email and websites
-Send and receive messages on Discord and Slack
-Post text on Mastodon
-Stream audio
Stuff I can’t do:
-Stream video
-Upload media files
I didn’t expect video conferencing to work well, so I’m not disappointed at all.
Anyway, here’s Virginia! It’s quite pretty.

Lunch happened! It was fine. I went for the baked ziti. It’s not pretty, but it got the job done. The butter cake is fire, but a bit rich.
Breakfast was some sort of hole-less bagel sandwich and hot tea.
We should be in NYC by dinner time, so I plan to have a (hopefully) non-microwaved meal soon!
@maxeddy ha! I sure know how to pick my dates! I was like “ahhh, late spring weather in New York, nothing better”
As soon as we crossed the Potomac, the sky darkened, and I started reading everyone’s messages about horrible smog.
Welcome to New York City indeed!!

@jilleduffy hahaha I genuinely forgot about it. QUITE sour! I also neglected to mention the very tiny salad even though it was my favorite thing I’ve consumed today (desperation for fresh veg setting in already).
The food was really okay! I don’t really expect anything close to fine dining on Amtrak. It was edible and hot, which is more than can be said of many airline meals!
