Traffic and Sushi
Filed Under Non-Technical |
Sometimes Chicago traffic seriously drives me crazy… last night I needed to be home for a 7pm meeting at church so I left extra early. Picked up Kathryn to give her a lift back into town and we were driving back into Chicago by 5pm. But wouldn’t you know it… apparently a bunch of traffic signals were down yesterday. The Kennedy and the Eisenhower are always a mess at rush hour so I usually take non-expressway alternatives if I’m driving around that time. But thanks to the signals being out - which I didn’t know about at the time - traffic was horrendous. After three hours I had missed my meeting and we were still out by O’Hare. UGH.
So we just parked the truck and walked over to a random thai/sushi place for dinner. And after some sushi everything seemed much better. Got home eventually… really late… but hey, life goes on. :)
Manitowoc, Wisconsin (or probably any city in Wisconsin not named Madison or Milwaukee) has no such issues. You should move up here. ;)
You’d then also remove the stigma of being in Illinois.
