One good thing about post-9/11 life is that people are taking a second look at the convenience train travel offers.  My mother, who lives in Massachusetts, used to fly down to Washington to visit my sister in Maryland.  Since she finds flying such an ordeal now, on her most recent trip she took the new high-speed Boston-Washington train and found it a revelation, more commodious in every way.

high speed train? in america? it's not a bullet train like in europe though, or is it?
hopefully at somepoint the demand will be so great that the U.S. govt will be
forced to cut the defense budget inorder to hook up the whole country with
bullet trains!.......i know...i'm pushing on a brick wall.
