Jim Kunstler over at the "Clusterfuck Nation" blog posted a great piece this morning about the beautiful Bellingham to Seattle Amtrak run, which the old grouch found so refreshing it seems to have actually made him happy.
It's not very long, and very much worth a read.
I love Kunstler, ever the Jeremiah of modern times, whose self-appointed mission is to lament, with very good reason, the disasters that are confronting us as a people even now, and the imbecilic responses of both the powers that be and the public at large. However, perpetually contemplating this bleak and depressing landscape seems to have given him a permanent case of dyspepsia. So I was glad to see that there are still a few things that can relieve his choleric melancholia, and actually make him smile in print.
