Keep Warm Chicago!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PETA really just should not come to Chicago

I have to say, I fully support the wearing of fur when the temperature is NEGATIVE ONE DEGREE!!!!
I love these hats... they are so unflattering but they are so damn warm!!!

This guy was rocking his hat, Dr. Zhivago style.

Don't forget to wear your rubbers!

Hate this weather, but I do love how people get themselves all winterized...

These rubbers are pretty horrible looking, but I have to say, if I had a pair of shoes that cost more than the $29.99 DSW specials that they are, I'd probably wear these too...

The Blue Line makes me sleepy.

Pet Peeve: The Loud Cell Phone Talker

I had such a great time hearing this woman's LOUD conversation on the 145 today. I learned all about how her "fiancee" proposed to her twice, and took it back both times. Apparently he was also drunk the second time he proposed. My guess is that he would do pretty much anything to shut this woman up.

She also ended every sentence with "...or, whatever"

Love your Hair. Hope you win.

Love/Hate

This is a perfect example of my love/hate relationship with the CTA.
Four, yes count 'em, four Irving Park buses lined up and ready to go.
Luckily, one was an express and I got on it!
I will post some of the characters in a bit....
:)

We're getting the band back together

So I'm riding the el with my guitar down to my buddy's place in Pilsen.
We're totally gonna rock.

I'm just guessing, but

I bet these two go to Columbia College

I like your hat

it was SO damn cold on the El yesterday....
Everyone was pretty bundled up.
I loved this woman's hat.
She looked pretty cute. So cute that I decided to write a haiku about it.

Woolen Winter Hat
Sit upon my head, neatly
Warm my brain and thoughts

Mas Juice!

I love that this mamacita was feeding her kids juice on the red line... she poured a little bit into the cap and fed it to her son. The kids were really cute and well behaved. I can't imagine having to deal with two kids and a stroller ... EVER.. .let alone on public transport. Go Mom!

What exactly DID Jesus mean?

This guy was pretty cute.. he was reading "What Jesus Meant."
I hope that was for a class.

Handsome dude with crutches on the 136

Dirty Fingernails

I wonder what this guy (on the left) does for a living.... his hands looked rough and dirty.
I liked his hat though.

Three Flavors of Crazy

These girls got on the bus with all of their packages and took the bus for ONE block.
It's so hard to walk with all of those Forever 21 packages, I suppose.
The CTA really seemed to confuse them.

I wonder if I left the oven on?

Hi there. I'm cute.

Cute guy on the 148.

Orange you glad that the 80X Irving Park express still runs?

Just one more.. just for kicks.

Saw this kid with what appears to be a tattoo of the state of Illinois. Kinda sexy. Kinda cool.

Forget Lunesta. Try the CTA!

What do you suppose she keeps in that bag?
Carmex?
Women's Day Magazine?
Tampax Maxis?
A Cell phone with like 72 little danglie things?

Sexy F*cker on the 145

Sleepy on the Red Line
