    On the train to Boston. It’s snowing but looks like 6” rather than a foot as the storm has moved south.

    It’s very pretty in Connecticut. Having a can of wife beater on the train as I admire the snowy view.

    Hang on.You're going from NY to Boston on a train via Conneticut?

    EDIT Ignore that. I was having a spaz. As you were.

    It's a long way round if you avoid Connecticut I think.

    Yes. I was having a dim moment. Especially as I've been on a train from Danbury, CT to NY myself.

    Nothing to see here etc.

    I'm going over to NY start of March. First time since Feb 2020. Will be going to Stamford CT also, planning on taking the train if I can work out how to buy ticket etc. seems quicker than a car in late afternoon/early evening.

    I seem to recall KM despising Connecticut when he was traveling the US. I think I've only ever been through it.

    It seemed nice from what I could see, but everything looks nicer with a blanket of snow.

    Rhode Island was also snowy, but Boston and Salem got fuck all snow, never mind the foot we were warned of.

    Bloody weather.

    Keep going north until you get stuck in some. It will happen even if you end up in Newfoundland.

    Chicago: Cold.

    far easier by train, Connecticut is a bitch to travel through by car at the best of times, and the rush hours are miserable heading from NYC in that direction (from my experience). Amtrak.com would be a good starting point, there may be a local commuter rail service but I’ve never used it from NYC to Stanford, only ever taken the regional or Acela, from Penn Station in NYC (opposite Maddison Square Garden) to Stamford or further north destinations.

    I've regularly got the train to/from Grand Central to Rye (about 40 mins) when my mate lived there, its just before the Connecticut border and I guess a couple of stops prior to Stamford.

    Ok, that's enough rain now. Can we have a dry month?

    I was meant to be doing a 3 day show from tomorrow but it's cancelled because HS2 works have fucked the drainage and flooded the car park.

    I hope that someone is building an ark. And that it isn't the tories and their mates, so that we have to pay twice for it. And it doesn't even work when we need it.

    I thought they wanted to stop boats?

    Ingo is quite right. They can't stop yachts. Where else can prime ministers have their clandestine meetings with foreign funders, while allegedly on holiday in a tent in Scotland?

    Although I doubt that yachts are on the agenda for the likes of us. Or arks. Or even regulating the water companies to deal with water.
