Vacation Note
My wife and I are
headed to Europe for vacation. The TCN will still be published while we're away
but the newsletter may be sent earlier or later than usual. Also, some of the
usual features, such as 'Today in Transportation History' and the 'Friday Bonus,'
will be suspended while we're traveling.
