It Takes Time To Build An Empire

My train adventure is soon to come to an end. Perhaps not soon enough for my taste.

It certainly is affordable, but I'm not sure I'll do this again anytime soon.  The train, The Empire Builder, is running no less than 2 hours late!  I was scheduled to be in Minot at 8:30, and we just stopped in Rugby, ND which is still an hour away.

I had a lot of trouble sleeping.  I just could NOT get comfortable to save my life, and I'd be just about drifting off when the Catholic priest I was sitting next to would let out a loud snort -- nice guy, but a snorer!

So yeah. Glad I did it, but glad I only got a one-way ticket.

Well, I'm dying to know, did you poke him and pretend it wasn't you?
