I take the (h)EL(l) to work.

The picture to the right is my perspective during the glorious ride to work, a.k.a. the trail of tears (is that insensitive?). It's named the brown line because it's shitty. Notice the various crotches in other people's hands and/or grills. This picture doesn't even really do it justice. I was literally almost hanging out the door. It gets crowded to the point where people get stuck in the middle and can't find anything to hold on to. So when your cracked-out engineer (I can't think of a better word) thinks it's funny to hit the turn at ludicrous speed, everyone gets pwned. Coffee goes flying. People go flying. Etc. The commute is definitely the worst part of my day. I'm sure it gets much better in the winter.....

Justin... hilarious. I totally feel your pain about public transporation. The T, the EL.. all super lame. And yes.. winter is much more fun.. with the big coats and the people not wanting to freeze their asses off. Devastating.
