I have spent a fair amount of time this year darting about Europe, and have a couple of observations to make: The trains run on time (not to go all Mussolini on you). And the planes do not exactly take off on time – they’ve been taking off early, with all passengers aboard, and landing early, too. Has this been dumb luck? Or are there continental differences? I’m not making a federal case, just asking/observing . . .
