home sweet station

Still in Chicago. . . train now 1 1/2 hour late leaving. AMTRAK really needs help getting trains on time, let alone adding to meet demand. Amtrak employees uniformly cheerful and helpful inspite of their frustrations and long hours. Wonder if I'll make the next connection tomorrow in Pittsburgh? I have 6 hours in between BUT am getting cautious is estimating arrival time. Perhaps I will bail out and rent a car for the last leg of the Denver to Elizabethtown journey.

No big political thoughts right now, just looking for a place to sleep and progress on the track. Have been on the way since Friday evening. . . what day is it?????
