I really don't know what to say tonight. I haven't written anything in a bit and feel the urge to do so. Just not quite sure what to write...
There has been talk of a railway being built between Cleveland and Columbus. This could potentially be amazing seeing as I love Columbus and shaving off any time it would take to get there would be fish in a bucket, but the builders are fucking stupid. Much like all men with money and a smidge of power are...they plan on building this train in an old-fashioned type feel. Like the chug-chug rather than the zip-zoom. They claim it would be scenic and take approximatly 6 hours one way to get to Columbus. WHAT THE FUCK? Really?! What the fuck is wrong with you people? How amazing would a connection to the main C's in Ohio be if it only took like 40 minutes to get to one place to the other? The commuters would be in the thousands, i'm sure. To just be able to scoot down to C-bus whenever you wanted and not need to pack a cooler, awesome...but they went ahead and fucked it up. Not to mention it would cost 35 million dollars to make. That's a lot of toilet paper. Cause ain't nobody riding that train. Maybe on the weekends families might get together and take the 26mph rail ride down, but nothing to pay off the debt in the next 25 years. Dumb. Not to mention the only appeal it had for the Columbus side to come up to Cleveland, cause there aint skid up here, would be the quick ride to grab a stale beer at an Indians game and shoot back home before your friends new of your deceit. That's blown.
This got me thinking of get rich quick schemes. See?...All you need is a helicopter that fits 20, a helicopter pilot, enough money to buy a helicopter that seats 20, a greasy palm to create a new air traffic lane and an investor that is not as dumb as the one with the train idea. To charter a helicopter out of Cleveland would make millions in the first year alone. I feel it. To get people to Pittsburg, Columbus, Cinncinatti, Chicago, Youngstown on the off peak times...bullet holes in helicopter glass are expensive to caulk! All in under an hour to 30 minutes, gold mine people! Once the solo-chopper gets off the ground! no pun, well, yes pun, take that pun. We could totally branch out to farther away destinations with more man power and merchandise.
Just sayin. Along with the Taco Bell I want to open, the chartered helicopter is gonna take us places...sorry!

I think every major city should have a railway that goes to close major cities. Like Cleveland to Philadelphia to NYC or something. Or do they have something like that already?
ReplyDeleteThey do have the train system to take you places like that. It usually takes a good day or so to get to NYC due to the stops and route it goes. Amtrak is the main train company. But they were thinking of doing a local shuttle type train. No stops in between just straight to Columbus...which would be great but they suck at life and are making it old fashioned so it won't go more than 26mph and will take 6 hours...not cool.
