The pigeon that rode with me went so far as to pick up sunflowers seeds that had been discarded on the floor. Ambled on at Irving Park. Ambled off at Rosemont leaving the car cleaner than before.

Damn I think we just discovered the perfect solution to car cleaning. Animals. They're cheaper and will eat their way through a lot of the debris left by slobs.

The animals will soon unionize. Haven't you read Animal Farm? LOL

Damn pigeons riding for free. No wonder we had to increase the fare!

They board the train so they don't have to listen to the annoying recording of the hawks that are played at Howard to shoo the pigeons away.
