things seen from the train window:
1) Ravine full of old tires
2) Man with a big camera on a tripod by the trackes
3) Half a canoe (not near water)
4) Loads and loads of fields of dead corn
5) Approximately 30 forest service men in bright orange jackets playing horseshoes.

DC was good, although 19 hours each way on the train appears to be a bit much for my sensibilities.
At some point this week I have to go buy black licorice scotty dogs for my aunt susan who just had surgery. I'm also supposed to find some random ice cream shop my other aun judy has fond memories of... my family is so strange.
