Ado Annie and Lady Bird played frisbee this evening. Lady Bird’s not too bright, and doesn’t really know what to do with it. Annie, on the other hand, is a dog possessed.
After three days in Reno followed by four days in Avon, NC, I need a vacation vacation. Seven days off, four of those spent on airplanes or in cars. My 2008 carbon footprint is shot to hell.
Assuage your guilt – buy a TerraPass. ; ) Hope you had fun.
We just took Amtrak from Richmond to Savannah for a family wedding+vacation.
$390 round trip for a family of four, took roughly the same amount of time as driving, and, best of all, I didn’t have to spend all those hours using my brain to do nothing more than keep a car betwixt ditches! (I got loads of work+studying done.)
Nice, relaxing, energy-efficient and cost-effective way to travel…. (Train was even clean and reasonably close to on-time!)
