I’ve lost count of how many trips I’ve taken on the Acela Express.  99% of the time, it’s been heading south to DC.  But on those rare occasions that I take it to head north, it’s always incredibly frustrating.

The state of Connecticut seems to be the land of a thousand dead spots.  I’m forever dropping calls, my laptop’s 3G connection doesn’t stay up for the whole trip either.  Going south, the only spot I lose signal totally is the tunnel you pass through at Baltimore.  Being underground, this is not unexpected.

But on a clear, sunny day, riding the rails through Connecticut, it is a big ball of suck.
