once again i am left feeling really disappointed that "Amtrak round-trip from Portland to Seattle" was ≈$40×4×2 ($320 round trip), while driving my prius was... $50 in gas. feel like we lost the plot somewhere with mass transit

at some point i'd like to get our passports in order so we can go visit Canada ... there's a handful of people we know up in the other Vancouver, among other things. but who knows how that'll end up working with how things are right now.

because i'm bored and curious i checked enterprise, and a car rental (and we'll say $70 in gas for it, sure) would run me about $200... still considerably cheaper than taking the train if you're not going by yourself

a car rental comes with total freedom (go wherever you want, whenever you want) with the only real drawback being gas prices. with a train you're at the mercy of public transit. i want to like it! it'd be great! it's just, well
