CTA Tattler

I'm a graduate of the University of Hawaii and I can testify to the fact that a UH sweatshirt is not unusual or unnecessary.. Ever ridden a bus in Hawaii? 84 degrees outside, 22 degrees inside. Ever been inside the library at the University of Hawaii? Extra EXTRA cold so the books don't rot. Ever spent the whole day at the beach and get out of the water long about sunset? Cold is relative - go 'bows.

I was in Hawaii (Big Island) during Halloween of 2004. It snowed up at the observatory that week and I was lucky enough to score a ride up there. Over 8" of snow was on the ground. You think a sweatshirt wasn't needed? Get with the times.

speaking of heat, the CTA is supposed to provide heat as of NOVEMBER FIRST. and who doesn't have heat over at sox/35th on the red line? that would be me.

i've been watching them do construction since august and i pretty much figured this would happen. they just managed to get the benches in, but i think the heat is pretty much needs to get going as of NOW.

i know if they want to, they can get this shit done now. they could pay these guys double time if they wanted. they could work on the weekends. DO IT.

drknow61: everyone in the world needs to be fat like me. in all those buses that you say are "22 degrees" they likely just have the a.c. on... for some reason you skinny people dont like a.c. its funny when i'd walk into work on a hot summer day, and they have the air conditioning set at 70 (maybe the lowest, 68) and everrryone would be whining about how cold it was. hell, i loved it.

get fat people. geez.

MC High Life: It seems there is heat for southbound passengers but not for northbound yet

Great idea. Let's build the world for the grotesquely fat. All seats in public transportation will be 40 inches wide. Every room kept below freezing all year round. Every meal catered by Old Country Buffet or Sizzler.

sounds like a wonderful idea to me.

hooray for fat people. mo' cushin' fo' da pushin liddat.
