Dogs on a Train
I was talking with Rachel today about how many dogs you’re allowed to bring onto a train in the UK. I was curious if there was a limit on how many doggy companions could be allowed to accompany you on a single fare. For example, what would happen if one attempts to bring like 20 Great Danes onto a passenger train? Unfortunately, my plan was thwarted by the National Rails Enquiries Office.
Passengers may take with them, free of charge and subject to conditions below, dogs, cats and other small animals (maximum two per passenger) provided they do not endanger or inconvenience passengers or staff.
Drat and double drat.
A Match Made in Heaven
![]() |
BJ stupidly brought a box Orange Pims over tonight. I was turned on to these tasty sumbitches by the mysterious jqt who also doesn’t pay for involution.com hosting. What he didn’t tell me was that the perfect complimentary beverage for an Orange Pim is a nice cup of Hedley’s Gourmet Ceylon Tea. The slight peach overtones mixed with the explosive orange filling is truly a match made in heaven. |
The ‘65 Mama Kool
Got a last minute call from The Bart tonight to go to Korea House. We got to talking with the proprietors about their new “‘65 Mama Kool” roll which is popular with the criminally insane and electrical engineering crowds (these sets are disjoint, mostly). This roll was invented there after I had tried every sushi item on the menu (even Sea Urchin). So, after I had deduced that, BJ started egging them on to make something that had never been done before (he’s cool like that). One time he made a song by swinging a microphone by its cord and yelling “PARTY AT MY HOUSE!”. So, the ‘65 Mama Kool is a normal roll with salmon, cream cheese, and cucumber. The brilliance is what’s on top though which is eel, crunch flake, and the patented Korea House Special Sauce ™. Man, ‘em boys is tasty.

I created a couple of satellite overlay maps from a run in Ohio and West Virginia. You can view them here. |
Notes from the Road

I drove from Austin, Texas to Bellaire, Ohio and back over holiday break. Here are some observations from the drive:
Thanks to Matt for letting me crash at his place on NYE, and for making the best damn tofu spaghetti noodle stir fry in the Deep North. Also a big thanks to the many law enforcement agencies for not ticketing me during my massive journey, and to the Germans for making fine automobiles. |
