So, I asked the CTA to not close the Jarvis St. station, and look what happened: CTA puts brakes on talk of closing Red Line stations
I feel like a superhero - Concerned Citizen Man. I've now applied my superpowers to trying to end the death penalty in Illinois. (I called the Governor's office and asked him to sign the bill that would prohibit capital punishment in IL.)

Oh, amyth, I'm so sorry. It's so goddamn hard even when it's the right thing to do.
I just can't believe she's not here in the apartment anymore.
Muscle memory is going to get you, hard. I didn't realize how many things had become routine in caring for Chloe until I didn't have to do them anymore.
Airlines brace for monster snow storm
With a snow storm of historic proportions expected in Chicago, Illinois, and large sections of the country's midsection, some airlines are already allowing passengers to change plans.
The storm will impact about three-quarters of the United States, from New England all the way to New Mexico, said CNN meteorologist Rob Marciano. Travelers should brace for a "three, three-and-a-half day event," he warned.
"Travel will likely be difficult to impossible in many areas," the National Weather Service said. Snowfall, primarily on Tuesday, could be over 12 inches in parts of Missouri and Illinois.
The article has info on various airlines' plans to let flyers change their schedules.
I'm so sorry, Amyth.
Airlines brace for monster snow storm
I first read this headlines with Aliens in place of Airlines.
I am sad about the upcoming new foot of snow. Almost worse was the offhanded mention in a news article that January was the sixth-snowiest month ever here. The fifth-snowiest was MARCH of some year I forget. We are not even close to done with winter.
I first read this headlines with Aliens in place of Airlines.
Now I'm picturing various alien spaceships outfitted with snowplows and road salt dispensers.
