That is truly fascinating, Battallion. I was always interested specifically in that trip of yours and am anxious to finally read about it. I printed it out to read it better later, not just for for the weekend but for all next week.
Incidentally, let me use this opportunity to say that I will be on vacation AGAIN all next week(though I will not be on the train,and hopefully, will not be in any blackouts). So, besides any"conbtributions" I make later today, I will be "off the air" for about a week.
