The Civilized Way to SDCC

I was headed south from LA on the newly reopened Pacific Surfliner.

Very newly.

An earlier train had broken down and the train to San Diego took 7 hours. My colleagues were on it, and the a/c didn’t work for a while. They had to finally turn it on because summer, but that slowed down the brake repair even longer.

All the other trains were stuck behind the broken one. Several were cancelled. Two of our comics colleagues from France were scheduled to be on a train today. We’d enthusiastically told them about the view. To be fair, we did mention it breaks a lot.

I was assured my train will be fine. I guess we’ll see.
