Ayah, if youa from up round theya, everything that ends with an R goes to an A, and anything that ends with an A, goes to R, so it all works out in the end, no A's or R's are being outsourced, or I should say, 'Outsauced'!

And remember, when you are in NYC,

"Hello" is pronounced, "Hey ****** YOU!"

And "Have a Nice day" is;

"Yeah? Well ****** YOU TOO!"

When I first came here, this was all swamp. Everyone said I was daft to build a castle on a swamp, but I built in all the same, just to show them. It sank into the swamp. So I built a second one. That sank into the swamp. So I built a third. That burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp. But the fourth one stayed up. And that's what you're going to get, Lad, the strongest castle in all of England.

I think BOS-DTW would be easier.

I was just looking at those Amtrack tickets... why even commute by air any more??
From Philly and Wilmington to NY (and EWR) is 1+20, and costs $57 or less, and runs like every 15min to 30 min.

That's cheaper than parking plus all the unsurety and pain for sure! I'd just buy those $57 fares and be done with it, ride the train to work. Of course it's probably huge pain to get from the NYC train station (Penn station?) to JFK or LGA... But there's GOT to be a way to make it happen with cheap trains every 20 min or so. I gotta say... why would anyone fly?

I can, but if they have the right of access much of it could be done along existing lines.

I think that tunneling idea was pretty cool though, but as I understand it you are correct about the water problems..
Not all trains need tunnels!

Saling is right,t T-8 has always been the best option for us. Arpy just did not want to play.
