A bit OT, but I just looked at the Wikipedia on the high-speed rail plans. It states:

>As of 2020, the California High-Speed Rail Authority is working on the California High-Speed Rail project and construction is under way on sections traversing the Central Valley. The Central Valley section is planned to open in 2029 and Phase I is planned for completion in 2033.

At the pace that the world is changing, isn't that a little slow. I dont know if it could be called an achievement to have an approximate travel duration of about three hours between LA and SF.
