Stupid Amtrak

I had to take my (music) keyboard out of my suitcase because they will not allow bags over 50 pounds on the train, period.

And they charged $5 extra to check my guitar, for "special handling." I guess it is "special handling" to not throw my bags around.

And the train was a half-hour late.

And it had engine trouble when it got here.

And the movie playing is "Beauty Shop."

I'll be at OSCON soon ...

50 lbs limit

I noticed that the airline AmericaWest was really paying attention to the weight of the bags too. I wonder if this is some new Homeland Security thing. Airlines have always had this limit, but they were pretty casual about it. Perhaps a heavy bag might contain a bomb.
