-- Freedom for the Boston-Washington Corridor
On October 14th, the Amtrak board of directors agreed to split the Boston-Washington corridor from the rest of their service, according to USAToday. The decision is pending US Congress approval, which may or may not happen.

This would be a subsidy similar to the government taking care of roads, and allowing bus service to take care of themselves).
My whole opinion on the matter below.

For anyone wanting to enjoy the African continent, Cape Town is probably a very good choice. It is a modern, safe city, with very rich history, spectacular landscape, and a sense for the finer things in life: great wineries, and good cuisine. It doesn't get better than that.

There are times when digital media doesn't mean photography is free of 'film developing' cost and time, it just changed into 'media backups and storage management'.
