On the road





 I am in St. Louis right now! Miracles of modern tech, I am sitting in my roomette tapping this out on my phone. We’re running early, which is surprising. I expected that, given the much-vaunted “gotta get the supply chain moving for Christmas,” that we’d wind up behind multiple freights. (It still could happen; we’re three hours out of my destination yet.) 

Anyway, let me try a few photos . (See above. Not sure why the phone put them there)

The first one is the old station in Marshall, Texas. The next two are St. Louis. And the last is my compartment. I grabbed Grumpy Bear at the last minute…

Not a day goes by that I don't think, at some point, that I'd much rather be on a train.

Your title has gotten Willie Nelson on my mind, curse you!
(I actually have 5 or 6 of his albums...)
