There Is Something About A Train...
I'm sitting here on the Coast Starlight right now as I write this
(Friday, 1/12/96). I'm watching some of the most beautiful parts of
the California coast glide by my window just north of Santa Barbara.
This is scenery that you will never see from a car. There are no
roads through here because we are going right through Vandenburg
Air Force Base. On the west side of the train the surf is breaking on
the shore no more than 100 feet from my window. On the east side are
the missle and satellite launch towers of Vandenburg Air Force Base.
Why do I take the train? Because I enjoy it. Life is only a brief
visit. There are things for us to appreciate during our brief visit.
To me, this is one of them.
