Train wreck derails Morning Call this morning

January 18, 2018

Sorry about the late Morning Call this morning.

We had a Metra train ‘mechanical failure’ today in Chicago. 

It gets cold in January.  I spent 40 minutes on the platform (too crowded in the station) waiting for a train that never came.  Wind was blowing about 20-25, and 12 degrees. 

Sat down at my desk about 45 minutes ago, a great Uber ride in.

One of my fellow Uber passengers said “well, that’s what happens when 2/3 of your budget goes to pensions.”

A symbol of a larger set of problems, sadly.

Have a nice day!  “See” you again tomorrow.
