		<description><![CDATA[Well the transit funding measure passed yesterday, so Doomsday III has been averted.
&#8220;All&#8217;s well that ends well,&#8221; Blagojevich said. &#8220;I think the wait was well worth it because the result is very, I think, significant for the people in the Chicagoland area as well as for our senior citizens all across Illinois who are going [...]]]></description>

I hope that stuff will be coming up once I get a chance to download my pictures from my camera.  In the meantime, I think it&#8217;s time for another little CTA [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For the last couple years, the CTA has had to beg, plead, threaten and cajole to get the money it needs.  It is very annoying.  They always come up with these horrible contingency plans that will result in both massive fare hikes and service cutbacks if they don&#8217;t get the money they need [...]]]></description>

Anyway, I’m still alive and still blogging, when I get around to it. Summer is coming, so don’t expect me to spend too much time slaving away at the keyboard to update all 2-3 of you on the mundane details of my [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently I had been having reasonable luck with the CTA.  I say &#8220;reasonable&#8221; not &#8220;good&#8221;, but you take what you can get.
Today my luck ran out.  My commute to work, which should take 25-30 minutes, took 45 today.  And 1/3 of that time was spent waiting for a bus, outside with temperatures [...]]]></description>

 Travel times are expected to as much as double when one out of the four tracks used by the Red, Brown and Purple/Evanston Express Lines between the Armitage and Addison stations will be taken out of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[CTA.  The Chicago Transit Authority.  &#8220;Hate&#8221; is not a strong enough word.
I loathe, detest, despise and abhor you.  Fuck you, CTA, with a broken beer bottle.  My time is too valuable to waste waiting for your perpetually late and overcrowded trains and buses.  You have the collective organizational skills of [...]]]></description>
