Somebody forward this to Amtrak and BART. Fri Jun 16 15:41:00 -0700 2006 1414717 0 Larry 2 1414732 Amtrak is to JR as hamburger is to Kobe beef. Therefore, I'd recommend a beverage with high fructose corn syrup as opposed to sake when "enjoying" the American (unsubsidized) rail system.

How many sad souls plugged in a few hundred Yen for one last swig for the ride home.?.?.?...

Used to be you could grab a bento and a beer right on the platforms and be good for the ride. What was even better was the various sizes available so you could really dial in the trip length/bladder capacity equation. Fri Jun 16 16:49:39 -0700 2006 1414734 0 Larry
