Dream Train

One of the more entertaining side effects of my drug regime is the effect it has on my dreams. Some night visions are downright bizarre, others so funny I find myself laughing as I climb out of slumber. Last night I had a very neat dream that I can only wish to be true. In the dream, I was catching the Skytrain via the Granville Street station which is located in the basement of The Bay in downtown Vancouver. When I stepped on board the train, however, I was surprised to find myself in a VIA railcar rather than the Skytrain. The next and every other stop was another VIA station which, handily enough, was also located in the basement of a Bay store but in a different city somewhere across Canada - some locations, like Woodstock, NB, are not even served by VIA or The Bay. I soon found that, if I got off at more than one stop, I could easily shop my way across the country in an afternoon. Better yet, I could step outside each Bay store to explore the surrounding area! Wouldn't that be a gas?! If nothing else, it would make visiting family and friends so much easier and less expensive. Perhaps I'll write to VIA officials suggesting they implement such a service.
