The Morning Commute
Wednesday, September 21, 2005
Seen on my way to work this morning...

1. Man with walker attempting to JAYWALK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET across North Avenue, using one hand to hold on to his INFANT DAUGHTER that he was carrying ON HIS SHOULDERS. I just about had a heart attack.

2. Homeless man lying on bus stop bench, actively vomiting on the curb.

3. Very short, old person driving a rusty Buick Skylark LESS THAN 10 mph. No lie.

4. A drag queen on the corner of Kedzie and Fullerton, wearing a t-shirt that said "Ready or not, Here I Cum" with an arrow pointing towards his crotch. Clever.

5. Large yellow truck straddling the dotted line of 2 lanes of traffic on Sacramento, much to the chagrin of the eleventy thousand honking cars behind him.
