Today, he blogged about the high speed trains that he doesn't think is so high speed:
Seventy-eight mph to Minneapolis? Wow. That’s, um, well, that’s as fast as pretty much half the traffic in I-94 now travels, and those cars will actually get you to wherever you’re going, not just to the train station.Really now. I suppose in the summer, if it's not raining, and if it's not rush hour, and you have a good traffic fairie sitting on your shoulder, that could be true.
But this is Wisconsin. Often, you don't get those kinds of breaks.
I'd have my sister and brother-in-law tell Paddy about their 12 freakin hour trip from Minneapolis to Milwaukee this past Christmas, But I wouldn't want to subject them to a dialogue with the Journal Sentinel's catholic school columnist.
ReplyDeleteIs that 78 mph the average speed with or without stops? If it does not include the stops, then he probably can drive faster the train, if the there is no snow storm.
ReplyDeleteUnless you are driving with a catheter, there will be pee breaks along the way Dan.

ReplyDeleteOr if there is no rain, no accidents, no rush hour traffic, no detours due to road construction, no little old ladies or little old men driving at the time, etc., etc., etc.
