Jenny Loves Mango P

Amtrak is superior to flying — change my mind. I show up 10 minutes early like a free citizen, not a suspect, keep my shoes on, keep my dignity, and nobody confiscates my shampoo like it’s a national security threat.

Meanwhile at the airport I’m in a mile-long TSA line practicing interpretive dance in a body scanner just to earn the privilege of sitting in a seat designed by a chiropractor’s worst enemy.

On a train I get legroom, a view, and the radical freedom to exist with a full-size water bottle — truly the American dream!
