- I spent Christmas night and the early morning of the 26th in the lounge
- car of Amtrak's Capitol Limited, playing cards with the other passengers.
- After the bar closed at midnight, we pooled our resources (my pint of
- tequila and their fifth of gin), and decided to stay up all night.
- The woman with the bag of Christmas cookies got off in Pittsburgh,
- leaving us without food until the dining car opened for breakfast at 6 am,
- somewhere between McConnelsburg, PA and Cumberland, MD, and we all
- went and had pancakes for breakfast.

- Several days later, I sold my Norinco AK magazine-fed SKS to Duffy's
- Gun Room in Sparks, MD. They gave me $175 for the rifle and 480 rounds
- of steel-case 7.62x39 ammo. They had to write down my name and driver's
- license number, since the Maryland State Police now keeps track of all
- sales of weapons with detachable magazines.
