Congrats Tom on poem of the day. I remember I commented on this earlier (about Amtrak in particular) but I don't see it.

Thank you Vijay, yes you're right you did, I don't know what happened to your comment? I've heard others say comments have disappeared, there always seems to be a problem when potd changes with many comments going on the wrong day but you commented before it became potd. Thanks for your return visit and congrats. Tom
