The track connecting White River Junction with Concord, New Hampshire, which used to carry trains between Boston and Montreal, was torn up about 30 years ago; most of it is now a bike path. So, it's no longer possible to get a train from Boston to Vermont without going west to Springfield (MA, not NH or VT) and then north. There's only one train a day between Boston and Springfield, and it doesn't connect to the one to Vermont. It's theoretically possible to take one of the Northeast Corridor trains to (ugh) New Haven, and catch the Vermont train there. But it's not very practical. The situation is, in a word, bogus. > it is harvest season here so i'm keeping busy picking > the beans and whatever else is ready to bring in. Here, it's apples! There's a tree in the front yard of the radio station with loads of delicious McIntoshes, and I brought a big bag full of them home with me. > for fun i'm working on learning some graphics stuff and > python. i didn't have much of a reason to learn anything > new for a long time and nothing really inspired me much > until i finally got a new machine that was capable of > doing some decent graphics. my brain doesn't learn as > easy these days, but i'm gradually getting better and more > familiar with how it goes. I've never played with Python, despite Aahz's evangelism. I'm stuck in a Perl rut. My most recent software project was two scripts to transfer logs and audio files from one radio station automation system to another using a web API published by the developer of the automation software. Today I'm going to deploy a Raspberry Pi-based audio streaming encoder at a local college station. umar
