I clicked the reco button again.

Everyday on the train ride home (the ride to work I sleep) I dream of how quick this 90 minute rise might be if we had updated trains like they have over on the other parts of the earth.

Kevin was telling me about the latest project in Tech Class. They built cars that ride along a track with strong magnets on them that repel, rather than attract. The cars ride the track with a mere whisper to power them.

They have talked about this for years and figger it is about time to start implementing it.

But when it all comes down to it, it will be the market place that decides when the technology comes about. Perhaps these will be the things we can think about when fuel returns to $4 per gallon.

Gimme a high speed super train.
