21st century transportation


Within the last 4 days, I've travelled over 4,500 kms across the North American Continent. The journey has been exhausting but fun. I had to travel from Trenton to Philly for a flight from that metropolis all the way to Orlando in central florida. In Orlando, the company that I'm working for was holding a 2 day conference. From there it was a quck hop over the swamps of florida to Miami by propeller driven aircraft. Miami is a fun city to say the least. It was a brief but very interesting stay where much was learned. That city's inhabitants appears to possess vice and indolence in prodigious quantities. However, I've also discovered, though quite accidentally, one possessed with great inner beauty, wit, and virtue. Hopefully I was not mistaken in my perceptions.

In anycase, my flight home on saturday was cancelled due to a hurricane. As a small compensation, the airline just happened to give me a ticket from Miami to NYC. And today I took that journey and then made a few short hops by train from NYC back to rural PA. It's soooo good to be home!

I harvested 2 pounds of string beans from my garden this evening. These beans, when cooked, tasted far fresher than the super-market variety.
