Traveling (Warning: Rant Ahead)

[la_samtyr]

It now looks as if I won't be seeing BBM after all. There is just *no* public transportation avalable. I'm 20 miles from the nearest train station and round-trip to Chicago would be $280, while the train to St. Louis would be $364, due to the fact that I would have to go to freaking WASHINGTON STATE before I could head *east* again. It's totally insane! I'd spend almost a full week just on the train (at least a day and a half to get there *plus* a goddamned bus connection as well -- and that's just ONE WAY!!).

::bangs head on wall:: Goddamned motherfucking *teamsters*! I HATE THEM! I know a lot of the semi-drivers from around here and a sorrier bunch of losers, druggies and alkies you could never hope to find! 99.99% of them are worthless pieces of shit! ARRRGGGGHH! I wish that scumbag Hoffa was still alive so he could *suffer*! Damn them all to the lowest circle of hell for encouraging the killing off of mass transit in the US! Thanks to them, there are NO trains to speak of. NO buses. The airfare is $4-500 MINIMUM to get any place at all! FUCK!! If I had that kind of money, I could practically buy a newer car to get me there--assuming that I had enough left over for gas that is. But I'm sure I could beg money from local churches along the way--always assuming the car didn't crap out on me in the first place! **SIGH** Maybe I can beg a ride yet, if I ask around some of the different ljs.
