Sorry I didn't post tonight, I was at Union Station and some poor man fell unconscious and then onto the tracks and died delaying my train. I don't know what was worse, his death or that people were upset that he had the "nerve" to delay their departure. So I didn't get back to Andy's until late and I just woke up from a nap but I'm gonna go right back to sleep. I didn't witness it first hand I merely over heard one of the conductors telling a passenger about it. He said the man blacked out and fell onto the tracks. A witness reported it to a transit cop, this is the only part I actually witnessed. They came and pulled him out and onto the platform. He started foaming at the mouth. They got a pulse going with CPR and then they lost it. They then used the defibrillator and restored his pulse only to loose it again. I'm pretty sure hes good and dead. I'll ask tomorrow at Union.
On a brighter note I bought my bike today for $50. $50 being four whole dollars less then I can rent a bike for one day. I don't "need" a bike here what with my feet, but dear god does it make the city smaller and more accessible. I'm going to leave it with Andy when I leave so anyone who wants to use it can when they visit Chicago. I've started learning the L and the CTA systems. A bus with 55A for example runs on 55th Avenue and ends at Austen. 55H runs on 55th Avenue and ends at Harlem. Good god Chicago has damn good mass transit. Tomorrow I am off to the Lincoln Zoo to bone up on my monkey skills. Truth be told I already wrote my posts yesterday but I need to proofread them and add a little content. Fatten 'em up.
