Re: Why Taking the Train is Better than Flying

The photo is, of course, not of the Seattle-to-Portland run. Looks more like central California coast. How hard is it to get a relevant picture?

I wondered about the additives and such, but the issue is probably moot since the tribe likely cannot get anything but fuel sold throughout the state.

Re: What Kind of Fuel Am I?

Last week at the local Shell gas station regular was $6.29/gal and today it's $5.79. Recent road trip, and I-5 and 50 were pretty standard at around $6, but drove past a tribal casino complex that had their own station and they were $4.59.

Re: Elvis!

One of the "treasures" in the family attic were a collection of Elvis plates. A lot of classic vinyl albums and some boxes full of photos made it worthwhile to wade through the dust and cobwebs.
