Pleasant. The conversation went like this: Amtrak: You don't have ID? Sister: No. Amtrak: Not even a school ID? Sister: Nope. Amtrak: How old are you? Sister: Seventeen. Amtrak: Well, you really oughta look into getting some ID. Otherwise, no one will know who you are. He then handed over the ticket. --- end forwarded text -- ----------------- R. A.
