ORMOND BEACH, FL - - Last week I took a trip 'home' to Poughkeepsie, NY to visit. Naturally, the weather cooperated - - three snow storms in 4 days. The above early morning scene is from Friday's storm which dropped another five-inches on top of the base snow/frozen slush from previous days. To change things around a bit, I took the train (Amtrack's Silver Meteor) from DeLand to NYC's Penn Station with a connection onward. It was an interesting 20-hour trip from DeLand to Penn Station each way. So, how do you beat terminal boredom - - an Ipod with enough tunes to not play the same song twice...counting trips both ways - - and a Kindle e-reader with a couple of recently downloaded new novels. The trip price was right with my 'geezer' discount and I'd do it again.
