Here I was: tired, enjoying some fresh air, and not experiencing culture shock (Caltrain platform after a long flight). And then some random dude had to ruin it by playing his music loudly on a portable speaker, and it was some Evangelical junk.

Thanks, buddy. Culture shock reactivated.

(Also: mea culpa to friends here; not really here with any substantive downtime before leaving.)

Welcome!

Was Caltrain electrified the last time you were in town? I don't remember when that was.

@dgentry It was. Stadler wept.

(Small world: my friend’s design consultancy handled the Stadler rolling stock adaptation for Caltrain. He remarked that Caltrain’s requirements would leave nobody happy — design by committee.)

@dgentry At least the sound of the regenerative braking reminds me of home.
