Geez. Is there any way to travel anymore that doesn?t require your daughter/wife getting groped, your body cavity searched, your nail file getting confiscated, your luggage being lost, or your elderly mom freezing????? <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

And I used to like going by train, too.

I suppose you can go by car ? no hours-long delays waiting in line, no repacking everything to pass ?security? (you can file your nails IN the car!), no unwanted fondling, your luggage stays with you, you can stop and eat when you want, you have heat, and you?ll likely arrive in just about the same time. (A friend just flew from North Carolina to Louisiana ? 12 hours from her front door in NC to her door in LA. You can drive it in about 15 hours?..)

But with everyone in their cars?. where?s all that oil going to come from??? (Three guesses...... <img src="/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />)

My $.02.

?..CLIFF
