I was looking at a cruise from San Diego to Banff, Canada this morning. I thought, that would be one hell of a cruise, then realized...wait a minute, that is what, 400 miles inland? (I later read that it was a 7 day cruise and a 5 day land (rail and bus) tour. Seems like a great trip.

Train, cheaper to buy a car. But lots to look at. I'll moon the train when you go by.
 
Yeah, the train is a very expensive addition, but well worth it IMHO.
 
LOL. I've ridden on a train before. It sucked. At least in a car you can stop and get out pretty much when you want. A trip where you are stuck somewhere is like my personal hell. Knowing my luck there would be bratty children along. Ones that like to shriek and kick people's seats.

I'm channeling Grumpy Cat right now.
 
The train thing reminded me-- my father used to be in the Border Patrol and part of his job was to jump on and off moving trains to check out the train cars for illegal aliens. If he found them, he would contact the conductor and tell him to stop the train. If they refused, he would get between train cars and kick the line (a brake line I'm guessing) to make the train stop. If the train got stopped that way, it would take a few hours to get it operational again. Also, he would wait at train stops in the bushes and jump out and go "RAHR!" and make people pee themselves.

Love that pic, Mr_David!
 
Hi there David! I believe I know you from somewhere? Are you going to tds this year? I'm leaving today after work.
 
Might as well blame me. if i did not do it today. i probably did it last week
 
LOL!
I love that on one of the popularmechanics linked articles, the chimp took the drone out with a stick.

Looks like the guy shouldn't have sent his drone where the deer and the antelope slay. :p
