A defective train backlogged the Red Line. I could tell by the amount of people waiting on the platform that something was wrong. There was an announcement that one train would run express from Granville to Wilson thereby passing Berwyn at the speed of light. There would be an "immediate follower"

I went to the back of the train there was a man sitting in the last seat. He had yellow paint on his face - like Madonna when she presented at the VMAs a few years back when she transitioned into her mystical self. The man also donned a little pony tail in the back. I am not sure what religion he was but I found it very had that he was wearing a leather coat.

A young man who got on at Addison was wearing a grey outfit but it was accented with brown shoes and a brown belt. It was very sharp.

At the Grand stop, a man two rows ahead of me got up, walked up to me because he had placed his suitcase in the back of the car. I wondered why would he not sit by his suitcase?

I was annoyed that my paper deliver seems to confuse me with a Sun-Times reader.

I rode the blue line from downtown to the Division/Ashland stop. A woman sat across the aisle from me who had really huge eyes and really huge boobs. She also wore librarian-esque glasses and had a blinking problem.

I sat behind a man who was studying his English. He made himself a test book with an odd assortment of English phrases. I am not sure what the native language was (A google search seems to suggest Turkish) but here are a few tidbits:

Sabah = Morning

Dikkat Et! = Be Careful!

Ayn Say = Same thing

Yheisku bir erkek = Handsome man

Urkek = nervous

Yeni = New

Gok Yasa = Bless you!
