No problem to deal with it. But some of the folks were wondering WHY. I
think it is reasonable to be curious as to why a situation exists in one location
and not in another. In fact, that's where most of our scientific advances
came from: someone was curious about a condition in the natural world. Deal
with it, yes, but learn about nature as well.
One other minor point, John, there is no "c" in Amtrak, but yes indeed, about
70% of Amtrak trains outside of the Northeast corridor run late. That's part
of the adventure!
