I think I will weep the next time I have to get on one of those overcrowded flying aluminum tubes and pay $5 for a can of soda and a small bag of peanuts. On a side note I am quite certain that Orville and Wilbur were Protestants. Their approach to travel bears the same attributes as Protestant worship... short and bland, (tending towards ugly).
I dunno. I'm always more prompted to pray in those aluminium tubes than I am in Protestant churches.
ReplyDeleteUmmm yes. Point taken.
ReplyDeleteLast flight I took was Atlanta to Cleveland and back on a puddle jumper with the overhead 66" high and packed to the gills. I nearly wept when I boarded as well.
ReplyDeleteJohn,
ReplyDeleteif you have the time or can make the time, the train is great. If you book a sleeper, the food is included, and is actually pretty decent, so the cost comes pretty close to flying + getting meals. We made a cross-country train trip last year and thoroughly enjoyed it. So much better than the hurry-scurry and crowds of airline flight and airports.
