Sorry, but it's true. Supposedly, if you eat raw meat you lose the urge to salt your food; I can totally believe this.

There's a classic Hessian street food that you can only get from certain stalls any more, before noon, of raw hamburger on one of those fresh German rolls. Yes, there's fresh ground black pepper and raw onion in it, but it's mostly about the raw hamburger. It's devastatingly delicious.

I have trouble making myself cook steak; I'd prefer to just lightly toast each side and leave it as raw as possible. Unfortunately, I should wait for Obama to revamp the FDA. Right now I'm exploring steak "ceviche."

Trains do get weather delays. Just this week in LA, commuter trains were delayed into the night. The next day, the crews were barred from going to work due to Federal downtime minimums.

So they'll have to resort to something like, "But it only gets snowy and icy in Seattle once or twice a year. Is that really a reason to spend billions on light rail?" I should also add, putting buses on the roads in snow and ice can lead to traffic fatalities. And the more people who die in bus accidents, the fewer people we have to provide public transportation for anyway. Problem solved. And without spending billions.
