Hey, I've never heard of Amtrak before, gimme a break!
 At least you guys have passenger trains so cry me a river.  (Via Rail doesn't count as a "real" passenger train. It's actually just a slow and expensive way to travel across the country.)

Yeah but at least you're American. I've never ridden Via Rail, but I have heard of it.

Went to the doctor yesterday, got a physical, and shots for both Tetanus and Flu. My arms are still sore from where the needles went in. Ergh.
Meh... Sane and I were supposed to meet downtown today but something came up and she called to say she wouldn't be able to make it. Not happy.

Ahh sh i t. *sarcastic with tears in eyes* Great, enjoyable whole-family quarrel tonight, grown from an insignificant thing whatsoever. Great. I love those. Grumph.
 Anyways, I just popped in to let the steam out... Bro has just come back from the bathroom and wants his computer. Ahh s h i t again. So, it seems I only come and go.

Well it's been in the mid 30's here all day with wind that makes it feel much colder. The next two days we're scheduled for 17 degrees....oh goody.

60 degrees is about, what, twenty five celsius? (I don't know...because 120 is about 50 degrees centigrade.)
