donderdag 14 mei 2026 Amtrak is taking me back to Trumplandia. When we arrived at Union Station Chicago, I didn't realize how long the train was. How many cars??? I should've counted all of them.

Chicago - that socialist, crazy-left-wing-hellhole. Really, Mr. Trump?!?! Hello, beautiful Chicago and Willis Tower. 💙 Just a little walk around the block on this rather windy, chilly day.

I'm dressed in shorts and a t-shirt... for summer-like Denver. I think that I'm freezing, but I'll survive. Delicious lunch break at traveller-friendly Potbelly at Jackson Street. (Try the Applewood smoked bacon, lettuce, tomato, fresh-sliced avocado sandwich - the BTLA! 😋) With a 4-hour long layover, I'm grateful that the shop let's me linger. Back at the station, I notice how the goddess Athena and little glaux (γλαύξ) are watching me with protective eyes.

Dear Indiana and Ohio... You need to fix, repair or update your rails. We were rocking and swaying on the train. How nerve-racking!  😟 Waiting for my Uber ride to home. It's such a blur! I'm blurryface. Open the door of my apartment at 4:02 AM. Let's take a snif of stale air of home.

Out to get some Truthadelic. Eventually, I'll assess the profound truth of my trip across the USA. Now? Drink beer and watch Luke Beasley.
