Diez de Marzo

Well Friday was an interesting commute to say the least. Downtown Chicago was effectively shutdown to most forms of traffic. The streets were jammed with protesters upset about the new laws aimed at illegal aliens in the USA. Buses upon buses of people were brought into the city, with the sole purpose of making their voices heard. These hundreds of thousands of people literally shutdown most streets, choking the intersections and roadways with seas of people. It was literally easier to walk down the middle of the Van Buren, then it was to walk on the sidewalk. Getting the train alone was an adventure, and Mr Angry was no where to be found.

Once I got to the train station, things were no less interesting. Seems that many people decided the South Shore would be an excelante form of transportation into Chicago for the protest. Of course we were standing room only, but at least it made for an entertaining ride home.

Some of the highlights included...

-Watching the Gorditas reading off a sheet the printed off of the net somewhere that told them how to cook Long John Silvers at home (hmm I wonder how many points those crunchy things are worth?)

-The fat girl wearing a tight shirt which prominantly featured half of her gut hanging out over her too tight pants, who also owned the "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" ringtone.

-Aisles being jammed with people, but unfortunately there was no real panic of people missing their stops, so that was disappointing.

finally after East Chicago things cleared out enough to find a seat. Viva la Revolution!
