So I passed through MSN this afternoon and found this that was fairly interesting...

Can't model worth a darn, but can research like an SOB.

Just looked up Amtrak for a trip from Minneapolis to Everett, WA (Empire Builder) and it takes 36hrs and to get a roomette, it costs the same as first class plane tickets to seattle... So I might as well take the 3 hour plane trip.

Sigh...  :(
