Saturday Learnings from Glorious Travel Pilgrimage to New Haven

1. Jon Stewart Rallies significantly reduce the availability of taxis to Union Station.
2. The MARC train from Union Station to BWI does not run on weekends.
3. Amtrak does, but seems to run every two hours around mid-day.
4. US Airways is very friendly about missed flights.
5. Terminal  F at the Philadelphia airport is chilly in late October.
6. Being on the Standby list is most similar to the Woody Allen's  Death: A Comedy in One Act.
7. Tweed New Haven airport is $17 (including tip) from downtown New Haven.
8. One gets highly attentive service at a restaurant in its second day of existence (Himalayan, a  B+ tibetan/indian joint).  My server had the peculiar tendancy to explain/introduce dishes ("this is a mango lassi, it's very thick"), as if i'd never before encountered Indian food.
9. The Millenium movies (Girl with the Dragon Tattoo...) are gloomy even when on the big screen.
10. Downtown post-midnight New Haven on Halloween is not unlike Death: A Comedy in One Act
