Rhinecliff Amtrak station
Rain on Wednesday revealed why the back porch steps rotted out – they are sitting in a puddle an inch deep. The best laid plans. So I’ll have to tear up what I have done, raise the foundation of the porch and steps, and restart from there.
The rain squashed any chance of working on the porch any more before returning to Columbus that evening. So I decided to spend the rest of the day completing military paperwork.
Amtrak sports spacious seats.
As I take Amtrak east to Cleveland, I realize there are a lot more passengers than there were in the past. For years before my deployment to Afghanistan I’ve taken Amtrak. Usually, the car is only partially filled. This trip almost all the seats are taken. I guess people have discovered there is way better seating than a plane and the price is comparable to taking a bus. Of course the other advantage is I can watch movies on the trip, In this case, The Matrix series. The outlets also let me hook the computer up – don’t have to worry about the battery going dead.
