a fire near the green line forced me to take a strange bus route to work and now i feel like i spent the morning abroad

i took 6 different busses & trains this evening and didn't wait more than 8 minutes for any of them... when the CTA works it's a truly beautiful thing

some guy at this o'hare bar just tried to order malort and the bartender (who looks like an amalgamation of all my uncles, down to the worn Bears hat) has been mercilessly roasting him for like 5 minutes straight
