An AZQ sounds fun, an Okie Q makes sense. I’m thinking an Okie Q would evolve into an intervention where we all would be organizing Kaleb’s stuff that see adrift in each Okie picture. We’d be grabbing the weed wackers, heading out to the edges of Okieland to uncover cars he forgot he had. We’d

We need to set up a “West Coast Q”, or “Arizona Q”, Bob. If we had it at my place in Flagstaff there would be plenty of room, or we could do it at any one of the beautiful county parks in the area. And I would make sure that the former owner wouldn’t come running out threatening to jab a screwdr

I’m going to my HS reunion that weekend but I’ll be up that way mid-October probably. I tried to take Amfrak once, got to the station and they had no tikkies. It was only SAV-CHS. There was a car rental right next to the train station, was only a few $$ more to rent a car and get directly to m

It's fun for a while. After two breakdowns, and nearly hitting a car at a crossing, and then having to wait for a new train because they put flat spots on the wheels trying to brake for the car, and then Amtrak forgetting to transfer baggage to the new train, it stopped being fun. On Thu, Aug

Yeah, I’ve seen them come through Flagstaff 18 hours late, sometimes more, but typically in the 3-5 hour (late) range is pretty common. When freight has priority over passenger traffic, you’re going to be sitting on a siding a lot of the time. The eastbound (#4, Southwest Chief) coming through
