[QUOTE]Originally posted by Henry Kisor: [QB] Plucked from the blog of a young person I hope never to encounter on the train or anywhere else: yesterday molly and i boarded the amtrak in whitefish, where we had spent our christmas indulging in the family traditions: skiing, drinking and eating. our train left approximately 16 hours late after a freight carrying japanese autos had derailed and held up other lines outside shelby. molly and i had rallied saturday night so that we would board our night train and pass out until we woke up in portland. but with the delay we boarded with our hastily packed bags feeling disheveled and slow, and without proper libations to get us through the 14-hour ride. this didn't last long. after a couple of expensive amtrak rounds of red i called up dewey morgan to meet us at our stop in spokane with two boxes of franzia. he promptly delivered. due to the delay, amtrak also promised subway for all the riders to assuage their complaints. they came back with kfc. wow, amtrak. needless to say, the smells of deep-fried chicken and its havoc on the digestive system didn't make our train smell very nice. never mind, we had our ****ty wine. i don't think either of us had actually purchased franzia before, or realized how much wine came within the box, but even with the group of chicagoans we befriended, 10 liters of wine may have been a bit much. we sat around the lounge playing a bean farming game with the group and this girl amber, whom i had befriended with our offerings. amber was a cute brunette with a good smile. she is from lone wolf montana, but lives in portland now, just up the street from us. i think amber was kind of drunk because she kept looking at me, repeating questions and losing track of her electronics. we went back to our seats and put in this really shitty movie -- dan in real life. after a couple of minutes she excused herself to go to the bathroom. she came back reeking of vomit. she told me some guy had booted on her between cars. i didn't really believe her, but i made out with her anyway. thankfully, for the sake of my sensitive olfactory system and steve carrell's horrendous movie, my computer's battery died and we passed out until our arrival in portland.
