To be honest with you, I take the train or the car. I humbly believe that I am not stupid and think my character does not need building-up. Although, standing on the platform has its moments of frustration especially when the train does NOT come along.
But today was a most beautiful day even though I was a City Hall collecting my city sticker.
Actually,my waits on LSD and Michigan Ave. were for cabs,but it's the same kinda thing and whilst it may be character building,it's also stupid to be out in Chicago's horrid mid winter weather,instead of inside.But one does what one must,thusly erasing the " stupid".:-)
You've been having some really glorious weather,the last couple of days,I hear.
I'm no longer in Chicago,but my daughter and s-i-l are.
