dreams and the Natti

I had super-depressing dreams last night. I woke up and I normally would have been ecstatic for it all to have been unreal but the weight of it uncharacteristically brought me down the whole day. I kept trying to break out of it (Epictetus is good for that, for me) but without success. I never like to relate dreams because I've found you can relay the literal content but not the context and ineffable associations, so I'll spare you the details.

In better news, I found that Cincinnatti technically falls into the 'Central' region for Amtrak, thus making my plans to tour the country later this summer easier. Let me explain: you can buy different kinds of passes to travel as much as you like within four prespecified regions. The more regions you'd like to travel through, the more it costs. As you can see below, most of Ohio is in the East. So it costs about $100 less for me to hop on in Cincinnatti and start and end there.
