We always park below this station when we go to Chinatown. I don't know how the hell he managed to do this.

Awww, you should have said something. We live about 6 miles from Midway in Hyde Park.

Good thing you flew back out. We're about to get pummeled by a crapload of storms. I feel sorry for all the emergency workers who have to clean up that mess at the Red Line. :-\\

Damn, that's a very bad way to end a week... 2 dead, 11 seriously injured. Glad you weren't on that stairwell, Jess.

I found this video last week: the double trailer wheels from a semi come off and plow into a man pumping gas. Crazy...

That is where Rice goes, although he's not doing too much partying. ;D

Yeah, luckily we don't take the Red Line, we just park under it. I think that might change though.... :P

Yeah, the U of C was once ranked dead last in the "USA's Party Schools" survey.  :-\\

Fortunately I am also a grad of Penn State, which usually is ranked as one of the Top 5 Party Schools.  ;D

It says that the driver refused a urinalysis.  I work construction and everyone knows the first thing that happens after an accident is a "piss test".  I guess he can refuse, but a refusal is an automatic suspension.  The driver knows that so I am guessing he was under the influence of something.  This is a sin and a shame.  >:(

The U of C still doesn't seem like a party school, although when Rice called me from his meeting in Wisconsin last night, he was pretty toasted. ;D

Yeah, I just caught that right now. It definitely doesn't make him look good. Can't they make him take a urinalysis test if they arrest him? I'm not familiar with the procedures of that.

They can't force you, but it is cause for immediate suspension of his license, and doesn't help his case when it goes to trial.

It's where fun goes to die.  And if it were easy, it'd be your mom :P
