So I’m sitting on the train right now heading from

Portland to Seattle here are a few of my thoughts:

 

1. When the electricity goes out on a train, nobody panics. If this were to occur in a plane or car,  passengers would not continue to shove Twizzlers in their mouths and play      solitaire.
2. How does something on a track get to be 40 minutes late for it’s destination?
3. They actually do holler AAALLLL AAAbord!
4. I probably should have bought a book. You know how when you want a specific new book and you call the 3 Boarders located w/in 3 blocks of each other downtown and they don’t have the book, you get a little discouraged? Yea, well the book is Bettina’s new one and each person that answered the phone at the Boarders was way too excited to order the book and I couldn’t bring myself to try and find something else, but last week there were about 10 books I wanted to pick up. I get a little too focused sometimes.
5. There should be a special car on the train for people who snore.
6. Every one of you is receiving a handmade gift again this year, but you might like it this time because I’m reading up on the subject.
