Anthropology

One of my goals for this trip was to figure out who exactly rides these long-ass trains. My preliminary conclusion is as follows: old people, students from weird colleges like Wyoming Polytech or something, and stupid people. The majority of people I have spoken with have been elderly men. The majority of people I have HEARD speaking -- like, way too loudly on phones, way too loudly while half-heartedly smacking their four-year-old child, way too loudly to no one in particular -- appear to have an average IQ of 73.

The major downside to this realization is that if those are the only categories, then I have vastly overestimated my own intelligence.
