Burnout

I’ve been blogging for about two years, and I’ve noticed that I go through cycles where I’m really into it for a while, then I get completely burned out. I’m in one of those burned-out parts of the cycle right now. Frankly, I just don’t feel like blogging. I’m sure I’ll snap out of it; I usually do. Until then, feel free to use this as an open thread to discuss whatever you wish.

Parade Magazine talks about trains

Parade Magazine had an excellent cover story on passenger train service in the U.S. They make the case for more federal funding for this more efficient transportation system and shows how far the U.S. is behind other countries. The new routes in Illinois and their tremendous increase in ridership are highlighted in the article.

The title says it all: “With high gas prices and airport delays, could we make our trains… A Better Way To Travel?”
