On the Fast Track
Saturday, Jan 30, 2016

OK. It’s time for me to get this “bus” started and head out on the road. Time to go and see what is claimed to be the route of the California high-speed rail system.

Thursday, Oct 22, 2015

I’ll never get those three hours back in my life, but I did take the time to watch the video of the California High Speed Rail Authority board meeting of Oct. 6, 2015.
