Metra … the way to really die

We were watching the local news the other evening when a reporter interviewed people regarding the recent bombings in Spain. When asked how they felt about traveling by rail, Chicagoans said they were not concerned. At that point, a representative for Metra assured viewers that their security is top-notch and that the trains are completely safe. Yea, I guess you’re safe if you’re inside the train, just not outside it (note there are two separate links there).

Metra better get their shit together before another innocent child dies due to their lack of common sense.

John Ritter

I was very sad to learn this morning that John Ritter passed away. He was only 54 … which to me is very young. Normally I don’t take much notice to who dies, not that I don’t care, but it doesn’t really touch me. I really haven’t stopped thinking about John most of the day, though. I’ve always liked him, and he seemed like a wonderful person. He will be missed.
