I hate winter...
As I mentioned before I take public transportation to and from work. It is a pain in itself but I believe it is the best way for me to get around. I was working in a location I haven't worked before which was fun and exciting in itself. Everything was fine until I ended my shift. Since I never traveled in the Morton Grove suburbs before I wasn't familiar with their pace buses. As I found out the pace buses ( at leas in my case) don't run past 7 PM. I had to walk for about an hour in this freezing weather to get to the closest Metra station, on my way there I fell on the sidewalk covered with ice. Fortunately I got out with only a some butt hurt. I cant wait till this weather is over I dont think I can take three more months of this.

And yet, given the way the last couple years have been, this winter might linger too. Not that I buy into any of that groundhog stuff.
ReplyDeleteI guess the biggest thing is to plan your trip before you go so you don't end up walking so far. That's the PACE buses for you though -- they make CTA look good, and that's, well, difficult to do.
I know how you feel. It happened once to me when I was in junior high visiting a friend. She lived in Skokie and I lived in Chicago. She neglected to tell me that the 93 California bus stop running after 7 P.M. I waited there in the freezing cold for 30 minutes, until I decided to walk home in the snow. It took me an hour in a half to get home.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, winter please go away already.
