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.

ReplyDeleteExactly what I've been telling you all these years! Nice pic.
Is that an Amtrak playoff beard?
ReplyDeleteThat is exactly what it is, Herr Schaefer.
