A Whiney Interlude

Driving in Chicago sucks. Mostly because of the other drivers. My biggest pet peeve is either the fucking pedestrians that walk out in front of you, or bike in front of you, or twirl around on their gay skates in front of you, or the streets.

Now, most places, streets have little lines down the middle so you know what lane you're in. And, also, in most places, they have these cute little signs that tell you a lane is ending and you need to merge. In Chicago, they figured you could figure it out when a big fucking truck pulls in front of you.

And there aren't really lanes so much as a jumble of cars going in the same general direction until someone decides to turn at the last minute, or try and get points killing a pedestrian.

Welcome to a big city, Tallahassee boy. You have to stop driving like a girl, cause those truck drivers can smell a sissy from a mile away. If you think roads in Chicago are bad, don't ever take a trip to Europe.

Don't forget to pickup the pedestrian splatter bonus while you're there.

All those nights with your mom has made me really good at navigating tunnels and underground roads. They should have sent me.

Yes, the traffic in Chicago is gridlock, like 24/7. Its a bit ridiculous. Hope the weather gets better. Do you have any time to explore? Its a great city. Were you able to get Cubs tickets?

I've been in a big city before, and driven. I'm just sayin...

In a way, it's like you are here Pat. Every time I see some douchebag cross the street, I think of you.

The weather has gotten better, I got a chance to do some exploring.
